Sharing Moʻolelo and Community Virtually through Storymaps: Sumida Farm as a Case Study

---

Connections to place contribute to our feelings of belonging, and allow us to identify with culture, history, and community. During this time of COVID-19 virtual instruction, many of us are looking for new ways to connect students to place in our classrooms. Storymaps are powerful online tools that combine interactive maps with multimedia content to tell stories about places.

Please join us for an interactive workshop that uses mo'olelo of place and family to share the real and virtual community of Sumida Watercress Farm via storymap. Participants will get an introduction to storymap basics, and learn how the Sumida family and UH researchers collaborated using Hawaiian language newspaper accounts, family history, and community support to study the special freshwater spring that feeds their watercress farm.

Presented by:

Emi Suzuki, 4th generation Sumida farmer
Henrietta Dulai, Earth Sciences
Jenny Engels, Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology & Oregon Sea Grant
Kimberly Burnett, Economic Research Organization
Leah Bremer, Water Research Center & Economic Research Organization
Pi'ilani Smith, Urban and Regional Planning

Sponsored by:

This workshop is co-sponsored by the University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant College Program and the Center for Teaching Excellence.
