Hui Mo‘olelo

Hui Moʻolelo: Intergenerational Talk-Story from the Heart of Maui Hui Moʻolelo ("gathering of stories") preserves the living history and sense of place of distinct sites throughout Maui County. Through annual cohort trainings and authentic, intergenerational talk-story sessions, we gather narratives that define our community’s identity. The collection serves as the creative catalyst for local public art installations, each rooted in the wisdom of Mary Kawena Pukui’s ‘Ōlelo No‘eau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings. A collaborative program of the County of Maui and Maui Public Art Corps, our recordings are preserved for future generations in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Join us at the intersection of heritage and creativity—where every story becomes a landmark.
