“It is important to be articulate and thoughtful when we speak. It is equally important to be hāmau or silent to attune to information in class, advice from a mentor, message from a friend, manu (bird) in the forest, or wind in the lālā (branch) of our trees. E hāmau, be silent.”
—Moana Makaimoku, Ke Ala ʻAnuʻu STEM Bridge Program, Retention Specialist, Leeward Community College
