(Welcome)
n. vast and deep
Like its literal definition in Hawaiian, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa offers a vast array of opportunities unique as the place we are named for.
In traditional times, Mānoa valley was expertly cared for and cultivated by Native Hawaiians. In return, it provided an abundance of sustenance and protection for its residents. Today, Mānoa continues to furnish the resources that enable our institution to be a thriving land-, sea-, space-, and sun- grant university. In keeping with the Native Hawaiian manner of reciprocity, these blessings are passed on to you in the form of academic excellence so that you are equipped to take care of yourself, humanity, Hawaiʻi, and the world.
WELCOME TO AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE LIKE NONE FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

From a young age, Lyndsey Haraguchi-Nakayama learned the importance of a strong work ethic while harvesting taro on her family farm in Kaua‘i - the largest taro farm in the state of Hawai‘i, spanning over 100 years and six generations. After earning her undergraduate from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Lyndsey returned to Kaua‘i to manage the family farm, where today, she leads both the Hanalei Taro & Juice Co and the Ho`opulapula Haraguchi Rice Mill, a non-profit
agrarian museum which educates the community on the agriculture history of Hanalei and importance of sustainability for future generations. In 2017, Lyndsey was featured in Forbes Magazine “Five Women Rocking the Food Scene in Hawai‘i” and in 2018, named one of the 20 for the Next 20 by Hawai‘i Business Magazine, a group of emerging Hawai‘i leaders who will have a significant impact on the State of Hawai‘i in the next two decades.

O‘ahu was divided into six moku (districts). Moku were used to govern the management of underground water resources: Ko‘olaupoko, Kona, ‘Ewa, Wai‘anae, Waialua and Ko‘olauloa.
‘Iolani Palace is the only royal palace in the U.S. and had electricity five years before the White House, and 17 years before Buckingham Palace.
Each moku was divided into ahupua‘a (wedge shaped land division extending from mountain to sea), a total of 80 on O‘ahu. The moku and ahupua‘a system were designed for the most efficient food sustainability and land management.
