In Language There Is Life: I ka ‘ōlelo nō ke ola
<p>In this special showcase,<strong> In Language There Is Life: I ka ‘ōlelo nō ke ola, </strong>middle and high school students from Hawai‘i who completed a National History Day project in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi were invited to submit their projects, which reflect the 2022 NHD theme, <em>Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences.</em> These projects were screened and selected by NHD Hawai'i and the Hawai'i Council for the Humanities. <strong>In Language There Is Life: I ka ‘ōlelo nō ke ola</strong> is sponsored by the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center. This year, we invite a national audience to experience these student projects in a language that offers perspectives and understandings vital to their culture, and supports larger community efforts that perpetuate and give life to indigenous languages.<br></p>
