"The Grand Unifier: Wai" with Ulu Ching
<p>Welcome to the last episode of Season 4! This conversation with Moana Pōmaikaʻi Kauluwehiokaʻala Ching, aka Ulu, is a beautiful reflection of our deep connectedness with and through wai. The grand unifier. Ulu is so grounded in who she is and offers us a wonderful weaving of storytelling, genealogy of self, finding purpose, and seeing service to others as a service to ourselves. </p> <p>Ulu Ching is an Island of Hawai’i wahine, kanaka oiwi, mother, and “conservationist” by profession, a term we reflect on in this episode. Ulu shares understandings beyond scientific analysis and procedural approaches, rooted in a spiritual kanaka oiwi place of knowing. She graciously challenges initiatives that are heavily saturated by technical approaches and often catastrophizing language is used in the climate and environmental space. </p> <p>Ancestral knowledge provides a more interconnected worldview with cultural values that hold our resources as sacred elements. That perspective approaches crises much differently. Ulu offers us a way to pause in our daily lives that are often distracting or demanding, and invites you to practice more aloha for wai and by virtue of that, give more aloha to yourself and the world around you. It is all connected, just as we are all connected through wai. As Ulu shares, doing this daily act is not just "the right thing to do" for the environment but is essential to the healing and wellbeing of our spirits. </p> <p>Thank you for joining us for this episode, we can't wait for you to hear it! </p>

S.4 Bonus Episode-Mele of Wai for World Water Day
<p>This episode is a little love letter to wai in commemorating World Water Day 2022, this year's theme being “Making the Invisible, Visible” with a focus on groundwater to highlight the urgent need to protect it, which comes at a time of great relevance and reverence for us here in Hawaiʻi. Almost all of our liquid freshwater is groundwater, supporting drinking water supplies, sanitation systems, farming, industry and ecosystems. In some places, we simply do not know how much water is down there. But what we do know is that our groundwater and aquifers are essential to our lives and will continue to play a central role in our survival, adapting to the climate crisis and ongoing destabilization to come.</p> <p>But we created this episode to recharge our spirits by amplifying the beautiful connection that we have to wai and one another with mele (song), and mo’olelo (story). We did a little callout and have a diverse set of wahine sharing a piece of themselves with us. </p> <p>The order of the pieces will be: "Flow of Life" by Anna Chua who is the Red Hill organizer at the Sierra Club of Hawaiʻi and member of this podcast team with a soul awakening poem about water as life, warrior, and leader of resistance. Followed by Estrella Marin- Ethnic Studies Major at UH Manoa and scuba diver honoring her place of solace and solitude with “Mother Ocean”. Next is powerhouse lawyer, mother, and advocate Rachel James share an empowering story, “Wai-We Gotta Talk About It”, that confronts the years of disconnected thought forced upon wai and one another. And last but not least we finish with epic beats from ʻIhilani Lasconia- Native Hawaiian student, artist, and organizer with Hui Aloha ʻĀina and Af3irm Hawaiʻi gifting us with conscious hip hop, inspiring us to come together to liberate wai, ʻāina, and ourselves- titled “Ola i ka Wai.”</p> <p><br></p> <p>Photo credit: Jong Marshes</p>

S.4-E.4--The Fight for Wai on Maui with Bianca Isaki
<p>This episode is packed full of information on water law, historical cases, community organizing on Maui to end water diversions from private companies, and wahine, womens’ roles in the movement to restore wai. Our avid listeners may know that water is a public trust by law in Hawaiʻi, held as a human right for the benefit of all people. Bianca Isaki, Ph.D is one of those advocates with a wealth of experience and offers us some legal analysis on water rights and issues, a rigorous and detailed insight into an array of water protection movements that make up just a fraction of the broader landscape. </p> <p>She is very intentional and specific throughout this interview to help us understand her role as a partner to empower communities with legal expertise, always doing her best to give credit to the ones on the ground doing the work. But with all that Bianca shares about law, processes, water science, and community struggle; we know she is certainly putting in the work herself to be a strong ally to kanaka maʻoli and advocate for aloha ʻāina. </p> <p><br></p>
