Introduction Höÿike o Haleakalä Haleakalä revealed: an opening to view our past and embrace our future Reveal yourself, summit to sea Project Background and Purpose There are some 6,000 high school students in Maui County. Many of them have never seen a native bird or experienced a native Hawaiian forest. Many of them have no reference point, no experience to know whether the birds they see or the forests they visit are native to the Hawaiian Islands. This lack of knowledge and experience may not be surprising. Roughly 75 percent of the original Hawaiian forest is gone and the remnants of native forest that remain tend to be difficult to access. Forests, scrublands, and coastal areas dominated by nonnative species are all many Hawaiian residents know. Over 100,000 species of plants alone have been introduced to the Hawaiian Islands since the arrival of the first Polynesians, and many of these now predominate in areas once covered by native vegetation. Furthermore, while the Hawaiian Islands make up well under one percent of the total land mass of the United States, 75 percent of the country’s recorded plant and bird extinctions are of Hawaiian species. Intimately tied to the land, traditional Hawaiian culture, values, and ways of life have declined along with the native plants and animals. Today’s residents have little connection to the land—and little connection with the achievements and customs of the ancient Hawaiians. Like many native Hawaiian birds, insects, and plants, Hawaiian cultural values sometimes seemed threatened by extinction— through lack of awareness and understanding. Höÿike o Haleakalä aims to help sustain the native Hawaiian landscape and culture by helping students establish and deepen connections to the land and the culture it supports. Project goals are to enable high school students in Maui County—and elsewhere throughout the Hawaiian Islands and beyond—to: • Gain a greater understanding of island ecosystems; • Develop an awareness of relationships between people and the environment; • Build observation, critical-thinking, and decision-making skills; • Feel a sense of inspiration for and shared ownership of natural areas; and ª Become informed decision-makers active in the stewardship of their island home. From Vision to Reality Since 1996, educators from public and private Maui high schools, Haleakalä National Park, Hawaiÿi Natural History Association, The Nature Conservancy, and members of several community groups have been sharing ideas for improving natural history education in Maui County’s secondary schools. Out of these discussions came the idea to, in effect, bring the mountain and its fascinating array of natural systems to the classroom. Höÿike o Haleakalä is a fulfillment of that vision. This classroom-based curriculum provides educators with background information, resources, teaching suggestions, and activities for teaching science vi Introductory Information • Höÿike o Haleakalä
