he National Trust for Historic Preser- vation’s Telling the Full History Pres- ervation Fund recently announced its
award of $25,000 to Hikaʻalani — a nonprofit dedicated to the restoration of Native Hawaiian culture in Kailua. Funding will support the project “Ulupō as Told by the Kupa ʻĀina.” It will interpret and preserve the integrity and unique cultural history of Ulupō, Kawainui in the ahupuaʻa of Kailua.
“Our long-range project goal is to create and install appropriate, accurate signage at Ulupō, with QR code access to a website with indigenous stories of significant sites in Kailua,” states Hikaʻalani’s executive direc- tor Māpuana de Silva.
This project will be undertaken in partner- ship with the nonprofit Kauluakalana, Wind- ward YMCA, and Hawaiʻi State Parks Division of the state Department of Land & Natural Re- sources. The grant was made possible through a one-time $2.5 million grant program funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
