Abstract

Ha'ahonua: Integrating Hawaiian and Western Science through GIS
Track: Ecology and Conservation
Author(s): Karen Kemp

This paper reports on a major project on the Island of Hawai'i to create a collaborative, applied research environment in which knowledge grounded in Hawaiian indigenous epistemologies can be integrated with knowledge grounded in the scientific epistemology. Our digital collaboratory provides a common ground for fostering cross-disciplinary research by incorporating a geographically-referenced knowledge management system for use by humanities scholars, scientists, planners and land managers, teachers, students, and the general public.
