The lush oasis of Ka Papa Loʻi<\/span> o Kānewai Cultural Garden<\/a> at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> served as the location for indigenous education leaders from Mexico to meet with faculty and staff from Hawaiʻinui\u0101kea<\/span> on Friday, October 9.<\/p>\n

A traditional Hawaiian greeting in the hale pili was followed by a talk-story session led by Maenette Benham<\/strong>, dean of Hawaiʻinui\u0101kea<\/span>. After introductions and some background on Kānewai, the discussion turned to the similarities between the histories of the indigenous people of Mexico and Hawaiian people.<\/p>\n

“We have so much in common,” said Dean Benham, “including the importance of preserving culture through language and traditions such as medicinal arts.”<\/p>\n

The Mexican group was excited to visit Kānewai and hoped to see a place that parallels some of the work they do at their universities. There was also a discussion of the potential to create an intercultural educational exchange between Hawaiʻi<\/span> and Mexico.<\/p>\n

Members of the visiting group included Guadalupe Camargo Orduno, president of the Autonomous Indigenous University of Mexico; Veronika Kugel, president of the Intercultural University of the State of Hidalgo; Cesar Palacios Gonzalez, president of the Superior Intercultural Ayuuk Institute; Samuel Salvador Ortiz, assistant from the Office for the Development of Indigenous Communities at the University of Guadalajara; Albert Sanchez Jimenez, president of the State of Puebla Intercultural University; and Monica Vivian Mascareno, academic director at La Salle Noroeste University. The group was accompanied by two translators.<\/p>\n
