Aloha pumehana k\u0101kou e n\u0101 hoa noi\u02bbi nowelo! Aloha, everyone! It is our pleasure and privilege to introduce our project, Ka Wai H\u0101pai: Co-Creating Controlled Vocabularies for Social Justice<\/em><\/strong>. This two-year project, running August 2021 through July 2023, is generously funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ National Leadership Grants for Libraries program. Throughout the course of our project, we will be using this space to share frequent updates about project activities and findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ka Wai H\u0101pai is led by Principal Investigator Shavonn Matsuda, Co-Investigator Annemarie Paikai, and myself, Co-Investigator Keahiahi Long. Ka Wai H\u0101pai extends our previous efforts to center Native Hawaiian perspectives in information science – with particular attention to description practices and knowledge organization systems – as seen in previous collaborations like Lau \u0100 Lau Ka \u02bbIke: Knowledge Overflowing<\/a>. Shavonn, Annemarie, and myself are joined by our colleagues Margaret Joyce, Eleanor Kleiber, and David Gustavsen, and our graduate assistant, Hau\u02bbolihiwahiwa Moniz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the seven of us are endeavoring to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Increase and improve intellectual access to Indigenous Hawaiian collections and materials
