Hui! Aloha mai, and welcome to the "Hawaii Abroad" audio podcast. I'm your host Aunty Max. I am a senior undergraduate student at UH West Oahu working on my capstone project to fulfill the graduation requirement. I chose this topic because I notice Hawaii has been losing more and more kānaka maoli residents each year, my family members included, and we find the top common relocating reason is due to the high cost of living in Hawaii’s economy.
Join me as I talk story with several brave kānaka maoli that had the courage to migrate away from their homeland as they share their journey, culture preservation, culture values, migration statistics, and overall living abroad as a native Hawaiian.
