Pasifika gardens
The Pasifika gardens represent community-centered efforts at OSU that promote Indigenous knowledge, cultural connection, and reciprocal relationships with land. Through initiatives aimed at cultivating and teaching about food sovereignty, students are provided opportunities to engage in Indigenous and Pacific Islander food ways, build community, learn about culturally based land stewardship.
Ethnographic Field School
This field school focused on Indigenous-led restoration of the Anahola coastline on Kauaʻi through a combination of ethnographic fieldwork, oral history documentation, and community engagement with Native Hawaiian kupuna and customary coastal stewards and fisher families. The field school research training was aligned with Dr. Fifita's community engaged research funded by the Lenfest Ocean project that focused on Indigenous-led costal restoration efforts that support ecological resilience, cultural revitalization, and long-term stewardship of coastal resources.
