Galapagos Islands - February 2017
Several haumana from Papa Mālama Honua were able to travel with haumana from the Celestial Navigation, Environmental Science and AP Biology to the Galapagos Islands. Our group of 10 haumana and numerous kumu joined haumana and kumu from Halau Kū Mana and the Marine Scholars Program from the Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology in our 13 day learning trip. We travelled 7,140 miles (11,490 km) over 36 hours to get to the Baltra in the Galapagos Islands. We were there to share mana with the beautiful ʻaina and people of the islands and to meet our waʻa, Hōkūleʻa and her crew as she spent time there. It was an amazing adventure to see one of the more powerful and protected places on Earth and the inspiration to Charles Darwinʻs origin of species in 1835, over 182 years ago. Please follow along with our journey here or from the haumana Galapagos blog.
