The ‘Imi Na‘auao Lecture Series is an opportunity for the faculty, staff, and students of Honolulu Community College to learn about Native Hawaiian culture and issues by bringing community members into the Native Hawaiian Center.
Community members usually do a presentation and/or demonstration in their area of knowledge and expertise. Please visit our ‘Imi Na‘auao Arcthives page for a complete list of past speakers.
The Native Hawaiian Center staff is working diligently to bring great speakers from our community to HCC for the ‘Imi Na‘auao Lecture Series. If you would like to request someone as a speaker for ‘Imi Na‘auao or if you are interested in being a speaker, please contact Activity Director Keala Chock for more information.
