Purple Prize 2019 - Cultural Starting Points: Connection, Conception, Creation - Day 2

This is Day 2 of a two-day Purple Prize event focused on getting our cultural groundings here in Hawaiʻi, reflecting on our own positionings, and exploring aspects of Native Hawaiian culture's land-based paradigms. At Ka Waiwai Collective we'll have time to reflect more on our positioning and delve further into aspects of Hawaiian culture and how Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs are leading the way in applying indigenous paradigms to how we live today.

Lunch will be a group potluck to share cultural foods that connect us to place. We will strive to bring homemade foods and generate as little waste as possible (avoid plastic wrappings).

Thank you to our sponsor for this event, Ka Waiwai Collective.
