Message from Kumu Noble:
“You will learn to explore creating a self portrait through different layers, with each layer describing parts of yourself. Through a collage made of consumer magazines, you will expose a story of who you are in Hawai’i that gives a deeper meaning of who we are as people of Hawaii as opposed to what is often presented to the outside world. Creating this self portrait will open you to thinking about and understanding your importance in this world as children of Hawaii, and how that is something special and to be proud of. At the end of this course, you will have a great portrait and an understanding of time management and pride.”

Message from Kumu Eden:
“Hi, everyone, my name is Eden Poppi, and I am of mixed heritage Ojibwe, Basque and Norwegian. I have 25 years of experience teaching/sharing Native American culture with children and adults in schools, libraries, and for 22 summers with the South Coast Indian education summer camp that is for Native American youth ages 4th grade through high school. Throughout the years, I have shared powwow culture/ etiquette, drumming, singing, traditional dance, regalia making, traditional crafts and games with people from around the world, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
