This textbook meets the new Guided Pathways Requirement

Second Edition We are happy to announce the second edition of Hawai'i and Pacific Island College and Career Success. This textbook includes a Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island cultural perspective. It is based on the premise that students are more successful when they take pride in their culture. While the textbook is designed for Native students, all student who live in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands can benefit from increasing knowledge and appreciation of the culture of the people where they live. A new interactive online edition is now available.
Textbook Cover Artist We are also happy to announce that Nicole Arielle Maka’āhina’ālohilohi Jack has designed the new cover for the 2nd Edition. She was born and raised in Kapahulu on the island of O’ahu and graduated from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa with a degree in Pacific Islands Studies in 2017. The artwork for the cover weaves together the past and present by having reverence and respect for cultural foundations while also having a flexible outlook that embraces elements of modernity and innovation. She states that one of the things that makes her most proud to be Native Hawaiian is the resiliency of her people. This resiliency is based on continually blending cultural values and practices of the past with modern strategies for thriving in the present day. Hawaiians and other Pacific Islander communities are not relics of a bygone era, but rather are living, breathing people with a modern culture. This culture is not stagnant;it is adaptive, yet still rooted in the history and ingenious achievements of its ancestors. Recognizing and honoring the historic accomplishments of your people instills pride in oneself, as an active contributor. Nicole describes the weaving of the past and present with a three-fold panel. The background is of mountains and a waterfall/stream, symbolic of the abundant natural resources of her land. This is set into bars, loosely representing modern buildings, bringing us into the present day. This is a visual representation of the Native ability to thrive in any environment. The stream flows down to the bottom of the image, irrigating taro fields (lo'i kalo), which were a centerpiece of traditional Hawaiian life. Kalo was the staple food crop and also seen as a tangible cherished ancestor (as a creation story names kalo as the elder brother of man to be respected and dutifully preserved.) Also in the loi are students, doing research and studying with the help of modern technology. Just as the kalo of the past helped us thrive by nourishing our bodies, embracing the connected web of knowledge and the acquisition of new skills in modern times helps us to thrive by nourishing our minds. In the image, the water flowing through the kalo becomes the wires that power the student laptops. The center image is a stack of books, a modern take on recorded knowledge. Sitting atop this is a traditional kukui nut candle in a stone basin. In our culture, knowledge ('ike) and gaining a higher understanding can be represented by light; in this case, knowledge is a light so bright it becomes the sun. Enlightenment can not only be obtained through books and academic research, but also through grounding in one's cultural foundation.
