LisaKapono Mason is from Hilo, Hawaiʻi, and is currently a masterʻs student in the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science Program. Her thesis work involves characterizing the vocalizations of Palila, a critically endangered Hawaiian finch, and investigating how Palila population decline over the last 60 years has affected the vocal culture of these rare birds.

Kauʻi Lopes was born and raised in the valleys of Kalama and Pālolo on the island of Oʻahu. She traces her moʻokūʻauhau to many places on the islands of Hawaiʻi and Kauaʻi, specifically the Hilo and Puna moku on Hawaiʻi and Kekaha area on Kauaʻi. Her journey with trails started in 2018 as a participant in the Wahi Kupuna Internship Program, where she was able to research and document the various mauka-makai ala as well as the Ala Loa in Keʻei, Kona Hema. In 2019 she received two B.A.ʻs from the University of Hawaiʻi in Hilo, one of Hawaiian Studies and the other in Communication. Hula has been an important foundation for her since age 4 being under kumu hula Aiu at Hālau Hula o Maiki on Oʻahu and continuing that hula ala to eventually becoming an ʻūniki ʻailolo of Hālau Unukupukupu under Dr. Taupouri Tangaro in 2019. Kauʻi worked with the State of Hawaiʻi Trails and Access program, Nā Ala Hele, as a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Historical Research Technician, and currently works as Assistant Ethnographer/Archaeologist at ASM Affiliates with Lokelani Brandt. In her work Kauʻi fosters pilina with the trails she researches through the channel of Hula. Like Leiokekoʻolani, she views trails as an ancestral pathway, whether it be tangible or intangible, that fosters the well-being of the greater lāhui in reconnecting back to place and space through huakaʻi pono.

Uʻilani Nāipo is a lineal descendant of Miloliʻi, who is deeply involved in the process of protecting the traditional fishing practices and lifestyle of that community, now and for generations to come. We know Uʻilani from the University of Hawaiʻi, of which she is a graduate. We have gone on huakaʻi to Kahoʻolawe with Uʻilani, and have joined her at Puʻuhuluhulu at Mauna a Wākea, where she lived for many months. Uʻilani and I are also part of Unukupukupu, a group of hula practitioners arising out of Hawaiʻi Community College, under the direction of kumu hula Taupōuri Tangarō. She has been part of the hālau hula Akaunu with kumu Mānaiakalani Kalua. Her experience in hula has helped to inform her research and research methodologies applied to the community of Miloliʻi. Uʻilani serves as co-manager of the Miloliʻi Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area project, together with Kaʻimi.

ʻAinaʻs education journey took him from Nāʻālehu to Kapālama and he went on to earn a B.A. in Linguistics and Theater from Dartmouth College with a focus on Hawaiian Grammar and Dialectology, a M.A. in Teaching from the University of Southern California with an emphasis on bilingual language learners and social studies education, and a Teaching Certificate from the University of Hawaiʻi in Career & Technical Education with a specialization in Industrial Engineering Technology, Building & Construction, and Design and Drafting.

Mānaiakalani Kalua is a Hilo native, born and raised in Keaukaha in Hilo. He graduated from Kamehameha Schools Kapālama, and received a BA in Hawaiian Studies with an emphasis on language from Ka Haka ʻUla o Keʻelikōlani at UH Hilo. He taught from 2003 until 2016 at I Ola Hāloa, the Center for Hawaiʻi Lifestyles at Hawaiʻi Community College, first as a lecturer, and then as an instructor in hula from 2008 to 2016. He is Kumu Hula of his Hālau Akaunu which began in 2012 and is still going strong today. His hālau hula is closely tied to the traditions of Unukupukupuku and Hālau O Kekuhi.
