ʻUluʻulu submitted one of our favorite programs, Hawaiian Soul, for the @saarchivists 250 for the 250th initiative. 250 for the 250th is "an online repository that tells the story of our country in documents." Victoria Keithʻs 1987 documentary features Kānaka Maoli discussing the contemporary meanings of mana and kuleana. The film remains a valuable resource, offering profound insights into the Hawaiian Renaissance, its unresolved issues and its enduring legacy. Follow the link below or in our bio to watch it and look at more of the documents that were submitted to create the online collections. https://td52e01bc4f4b6253.starter1ua.preservica.com/portal/en-US/asset/sdb%3AIO%7Ca7e78c83-6644-41d4-a8a7-a74b2d978c60
