#BachmanHall

[kataibusaibiin]

Kiaikekahaukani: #Lā82 #MaunaKea: #Lā127 This past week/end was a turning point for the kia'i here at Bachman Hall, UH Mānoa. If you're on-island, please come join us tonight (Friday, 4:45-pau) for sunset 'aha and potluck to celebrate as a community!

See Update below, via Kia’i ke Kahaukani:   Aloha mai e nā hoa welo like. Mahalo nui to all of our ʻohana last week who donated their time, presence, and aloha during an emotionally charged situation for students at UH-Mānoa. Prior to this weekend the University locked students behind the glass doors, leaving them unable to join the ‘aha. This past weekend, with your support and assistance, the front doors to Bachman Hall were kept open. The kīpuka of aloha ʻāina here at Bachman was created by and for students to serve all of us impacted by the ongoing violence perpetrated by the University through its involvement in the TMT project. With your continued support we are resolved to keep the doors to healing open so that we can mālama each other and our communities. Na wai lā hoʻi ka ʻole o ke akamai, he alahele i maʻa i ka hele ʻia e oʻu mau kūpuna. Our kūpuna demonstrate daily the ability to hold steadfast in kapu aloha, to heal through community, to unify in pule while facing difficulties of both the environment as well as the occupying government. We will ensure that these doors remain open in order to support each other and the communities that we represent. To celebrate our community at Bachman and this season of change, we invite our ʻohana to join us tomorrow (Friday, 4:45pm-pau) in mele, manaʻo, and meaʻai. Students will provide ʻawa and limited food, potluck item encouraged if can. E nā hoapili e kūpaʻa mau, e holomua aku, e aloha nō kākou.
