For the first time, the IAFOR Hawaii Conference Series 2019, with the theme Independence and Interdependence will be opened with an Hawaiian Oli – the spiritual chant which connects powerfully with Hawaiian ʻāina and Aloha as well as Hawaiian ancestors and all spiritual lineages. This indigenous and cultural tradition will honour all diversity and unity of humanity as we gather to create a meaningful and new scholarly and educational direction and destiny for all. Uncle Bruce Keaulani and Auntie Kehaulani, featured speakers of the 2017 event, will lead us in this very special opening.
