All on this episode of HIKI NŌ ...
Can do!
We are here on the campus of Konawaena High School in the town of Kealakekua, on the leeward
side of Hawai'i Island.
The Konawaena complex serves students from the South Kona region, Grades K through
12.
Students travel from Kona and as far south from the town of Ocean View to attend our
school, situated on the fertile slopes of Mauna Loa.
Our district is mostly rural, with small historically rich towns
nestled in between coffee plantations.
Also located near the school is the Captain Cook monument in
Kealakua Bay, in which Captain Cook lost his life in 1779.
The following story by students at Konawaena High School is about a high school teacher
that walked the Pacific Crest Trail to overcome a traumatic
event in her life.
At twenty-one, Ms. Emma Erwin challenged herself to walk 2,650 miles along the Pacific Crest
Trail by herself.
Across the board, the majority of people doing trails like that are kinda like scruffy bearded
men.
[CHUCKLE] And so, being a young blond woman was pretty rare.
I think it definitely made the experience different for me, than it would
for someone of a different gender or of a different age.
For Ms. Erwin, the trail wasn't just a physical challenge, it was a journey to overcome the
emotional trauma of being sexually assaulted.
I think for me, I was trying to prove that, like, my body was mine again.
And I think, like, that came from the experiences that happened before in college.
I think that I wanted to prove that, like, I was in charge
of what happened to my body.
Like, I was in charge of, like, how far I could push my body.
I was in charge of, like, how much it hurt.
And like, I was in charge of where I was going, and what I was doing.
Because I think a lot of that control gets lost when you undergo a traumatic experience.
It took Ms. Erwin one hundred and two days to hike from the border of Mexico to the border
of Canada, nearly three and a half months to sort out
her conflicting emotions.
So, rather than having it be like some isolated person who had no history with, that would
be terrible.
But it was also this, like, very ... very heartbreaking
situation, where I lost someone very close to me in life,
because they did something terrible to me.
And so, that compounded the trust issues, and compounded
like, the difficulty in recovering, 'cause I was worried about him, too.
Which is weird.
You don't think about that, you don't think about worrying
about your assaulter.
But that was like, a huge part of my process as well.
As Ms. Erwin pushed her body and mind to the brink of exhaustion, she also completed her
journey from victim to survivor.
I think in my process, in the aftermath of what happened to me, I think like, a big huge
part of it was hiking the PCT by myself.
Like, clear to me and clear to those around me, who are close to me in my life,
like, that was kind of a major shift.
[INDISTINCT]
Ms. Erwin now teaches at Konawaena High School, and hopes her experience can help others struggling
with abuse.
It's terrible that it's like, this one act can like, cause this huge trauma for not just
the victim, but the aggressor as well.
And unfortunately, like, the statistic is more often than not when something like sexual
assault happens, it's not uncommon that it's someone that you know, or that you believe
cares about you.
Ms. Erwin says the road to recovery does not require a cross-country trail.
Just being open and honest is a great first step.
I mean, people like, openly declare like, yes, this actually happened to me, and yes,
it was this person's fault and not mine, can be really helpful
for other people who have experienced similar situations.
Ms. Erwin's lessons are going beyond the classroom by sharing what it is like to walk in someone
else's shoes.
This is Kaimana Manzano from Konawaena High School, for HIKI NŌ.
And now, we go to Līhu'e on Kaua'i, where students from Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle
School bring us to a camp with some friendly critters who
need love, attention and protection.
When he was just a four-month-old puppy, Rascal was rescued by the Kaua'i Humane Society.
He had been attacked by another dog, we assume, and his face was practically bitten off, and
he lost one of the eyes because it was no longer savable.
But the most important thing to save was the hole in his
skull here, because a tooth had penetrated his head, and it was quite infected and it
needed a lot of antibiotics.
Rascal's injuries required three different surgeries.
He pulled through with the helping care of the
Humane Society employees.
Capturing the hearts of many, Rascal became a Kauai Humane Society
ambassador, and now plays a key role in an educational keiki program called Critter Camp.
Rascal is part of the Critter Camp, 'cause he kind of boosts the whole group.
We use him as examples to how surgery helps animals, 'cause he had a
big gash in his head, and how the vet can help.
At Critter Camp, kids take part in arts and crafts and different animal-related activities.
We get to go see the kittens and the cats, and dogs.
We also get to take animals on perimeter walks, like
Rascal.
And we get to make treats for them, anything to making bird toys to playing with animals.
By connecting with animals, kids also learn about the impact animals can have on people's
lives.
So, they learn how to socialize with the animals.
They learn how to be kind, and caring, and gentle with
them.
They learn about marine animals, and they learn about service dogs like the K-9 Rescue
units.
I also have the SOS bird ladies come in, and
also the forest bird people come on.
So, it's not just only cats and dogs.
Sometimes, the most important lesson can't be taught by books.
At the Kaua'i Humane Society, they're found in animals like Rascal.
I like Rascal, 'cause he learned how to survive with only one eye.
Critter Camp's pretty important and special, because it allows kids to interact with the
animals and learn about how to take care of them, and what to
do.
And it's just fun for everyone.
People gain great insight from watching animals, socializing with animals.
Just like people, it's a great human skill.
Lessons like empathy and caring for others, whether they're animals or people, are what
make Critter Camp so special.

hikinocando.
We're here on the campus of Waimea High School in the town of Waimea, on the west side of
Kaua'i.
Our school serves students Grade 9 through 12 from a large proportion of 'Ele'ele, but
also including Kalāheo, Kekaha, and Waimea.
A famous tourist attraction on the west side is the breathtaking Waimea
Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
The following story by students at Waimea High School is about a local restaurant business
sharing its home-style cooking.
If you're on the island of Kaua'i and looking for a family restaurant full of aloha, Unko's
Kitchen in the small town of Hanapēpē is the place for
you.
We sat down with Manuel Cabral, better known as Uncle
Manno, so that he could share with us more about his business.
Started around 1986.
And I got real interested in cooking by cooking with other people that was much
older than I am.
And my idea was to gain as much knowledge as I could before this type of cooking
would fade away.
Over time, Uncle Manno has worked out recipes that were made from the heart to serve at
his restaurant.
My menu items are basic home-cooked meals that the local people enjoy throughout the
years.
And they enjoy that type of cooking, so we decided
to cook the same way.
So, we're not really cooking what we call the ... ways that you'll be taught if
you was going to a culinary school.
So, we cook totally different.
We do home-style cooking.
Not only does he get his inspiration from his family, his greatest motivation was to
continue his cooking style.
We're not like some of the other businesses, where most of the things that they cook are
pre-measure and premade.
We just do everything by flavor.
Being that Uncle Manno cooks from the heart, he continues to update his menu and serve
the dishes he thinks are the best.
It just depends on popularity, what people really like.
What most commonly locals love to eat, we add
that to our menu.
Popular foods are beef stew with mac salad and rice.
We also have a hunter's special, which is four eggs, Portuguese sausage, Spam,
smoked meat, and two scoops of rice.
Uncle Manno sticks with the tradition in how he learned to cook his menu items.
Well, I can say that food in our kitchen is like food that was prepared at least thirty,
forty years ago, plantation style of cooking.
And we just try to carry that right through to now.
So, people looking for that, what they were growing up as young kids
through the plantation camps, so we kinda copy that and
serve our food that way.
This is Dawn Serapio from Waimea High School, for HIKI NŌ.
Next, students from Lahaina Intermediate School teach us how to keep our favorite clothes
ready to wear with a simple task many of us still don't
know how tackle.
Hey, you don't have to throw away your clothes just because you lost a button.
Why throw it away, when you can fix it within a few minutes?
All you will need is a sewing needle, thread, scissors and a button.
The first step is to grab your needle and thread.
You will need to cut a piece of thread about eight inches
to fully fix your button.
Next is to pull the thread through the eye of the needle.
This might be tricky at first, but you will get the
hang of it.
Then, you tie a knot at the end of the thread, as shown.
Next, you position the new button on the spot where the previous button was.
Push the thread and needle up through the bottom of the fabric, and through
one hole of the button.
Make sure to pull all the way through on each stitch.
Then, push the needle down through the next hole, through the fabric, and pull all
the way through.
Repeat the process two times.
Then you wrap the thread three or four times around the base of the button to strengthen
it.
The next step is to weave three or four stitches through
the fabric, to secure the thread.
The final step is to cut off the extra thread.
Now, you can enjoy your fixed clothing.
This is Christian Clarion from Lahaina Intermediate School, for
HIKI NŌ.
We're here on the campus of Aliamanu Middle School in the Salt Lake District of O'ahu.
Our school is surrounded by many outstanding features.
We are located in an area of extinct volcanic craters such as
Aliamanu, for which we are named.
To the west of us is Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, home of the
U.S. Pacific Fleet and the headquarters of Pacific Air Forces, and the Hawai'i Air National
Guard.
If you travel, then you're most likely familiar with
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
Finally, our school lies within an area providing educational
services that includes Aliamanu Elementary School, and the Salt
Lake-Moanalua Public Library.
The following story by students at Aliamanu Middle School is about three student ambassadors
from countries around the Pacific.
They traveled to Hawai'i to spread the message of peace.
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 ... date which will live in infamy.
The words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt remind us of the devastation of war.
But now, a date which will live in infamy also inspires a
message of peace.
Three students from Japan, Australia and California carried that message when they
came together for one week on O'ahu.
Their visit was sponsored by the Australian National Maritime
Museum for a project celebrating peace in the Pacific.
They had to write a speech saying why they thought being an ambassador would be important,
and why they would make a good ambassador, so what
personal qualities they possessed.
The ambassadors met for the first time when they arrived in Hawai'i.
With a common goal in mind, they quickly bonded with each other.
They had a busy schedule that included a visit to Aliamanu Middle
School, where they met students of various cultures and backgrounds.
They also were able to hear the firsthand accounts of the Pearl attack through
a presentation by Mr. Jimmy Lee, who was an eyewitness
to the event as a child.
The ambassadors also had a chance to share their viewpoints on peace.
I'm from Australia.
I live in a town called [INDISTINCT].
We need to focus on peace, because you know, anything other than peace ends with people
getting hurt or dying.
And the only thing that matters in this world is taking care of each other.
The next day, they attended a Youth Peace symposium, where Japanese citizens and veterans
from World War II shared their thoughts.
Their stories were really, really just something different and something that I can really
take back to Australia and tell all the teachers and friends
about.
I really like to hear the other perspective from other people, other countries' people.
So, it was good.
They began the following day by participating in commemoration ceremonies of the December
7th Pearl Harbor attacks.
Later, they returned to the Pacific Aviation Museum.
Exhibits and interactive activities gave the students and ambassadors perspectives
from both sides of the war.
Finally, the hallmark of their entire visit was the signing of the peace
document onboard the USS Missouri.
It took place in the exact spot where, more than seventy years ago, the
signing by Japan, the United States and its allies officially
ended the Pacific phase of World War II.
It was streamed live to students in Australia.
My heart as a young global citizen [INDISTINCT] which make those life-changing decisions,
act with integrity and responsibility.
To consider the effects of conflict on the many, and to act with truth and
honesty so that the tragedies of the past are never repeated.
[APPLAUSE]
The ceremony left a lasting impression on those in attendance.
After seeing all of this, and after going through today, the word peace means to me
when people come together, and instead of fighting and arguing,
they become friends.
With lessons from the past and present generations, these young ambassadors are ready to carry
on the mission of peace for generations to come.
This is Ca'shawndra Montgomery from Aliamanu Middle
School, for HIKI NŌ.
The following story about a Filipino immigrant's experience moving to Hawai'i was produced
by students at Kaua'i High School in Līhu'e.
I originally produced this story about my father's immigrant experience for the PBS
NewsHour Student Reporting Labs.
Hawai'i is a very beautiful place.
The scenery is perfect.
There's a lot of green mountains.
Nice people, clean air, cleaner than where I came from.
I emigrated from the Philippines, and that was about seventeen
years ago.
Immigrating to Hawai'i was not as easy.
You need to have a lot of sacrifices.
My wife came back to the Philippines to marry me, but after
she went back to the U.S., I was not able to come.
That process takes four or five years for me to
even come to the U.S.
Sixteen years ago, my father began working as a civil engineer for the Hawai'i State
Department of Transportation.
My job right now is easier for me to support my family.
But it's not easy in the beginning.
Me and my wife needed two jobs each, just to rent a
house, or buy a car, and to have anything that's a necessity.
Our family has grown in the U.S.
My parents and my sisters legally immigrated after me.
And my sisters are now married, and have their own family.
Everybody is now citizens of the United States.
I'm glad that I immigrated to Hawai'i.
Life is a lot better now.
This is Brandon Marcos from Kaua'i High School, for HIKI NŌ.
Here we are on the campus of Maui High School, home of the Sabers, located in Kahului, the
heart of Central Maui.
Maui High School serves students from Grades 9 through 12 who reside in Kahului, which
is the business, retail and transportation center of Maui.
Students also commute from the [INDISTINCT] South Maui communities of Kīhei, Wailea and
Mākena.
The areas we serve are mainly comprised of growing suburban neighborhoods and also feature
key elements of Maui's activity and economy, such as
our island's international airport, seaport, main shopping venues, restaurants and beachfront
resorts.
The following story by students at Maui High School is about a family enjoying the birth
of their baby and their business.
We do strawberry, liliko'i, lychee.
For the past three years, Pukalani residents Elias and Stephanie Garcia spread their love
for popcorn and people with their Aloha Kettlecorn food truck.
But when they are not working, Elias and Stephanie enjoy
life with their nine-month-old baby, Elianna.
The moments they share as a family are especially cherished due to their long journey to parenthood.
We tried six years to have a baby.
And it was a struggle, but when we found out that she was pregnant, it
was all excited.
Everything was going good, I'm setting up my baby shower.
And I got a call from the physician, and he said ... just no warning, that my baby's screening
test for Down Syndrome came back positive.
And at that moment, I felt like ... a hundred boulders
just come down on me.
It was a scary, scary time for us.
You know, you kinda get through that, and then all these other things keep piling up.
More than fifty percent of babies with Down Syndrome have
heart conditions, and they were concerned that Baby would
need open heart surgery.
'Cause they did an ultrasound on Baby and found two holes in her heart.
The Garcias spent twenty-four days in the NICU, hoping and praying.
But we knew this was our miracle baby.
After long, intense days of waiting, the Garcias were finally able to return home after Elianna's
holes healed themselves.
She is more than we could have imagined.
She brings so much joy and so much life, and it's the greatest
blessing of my life.
When people tell me, I'm so sorry about your baby or, I'm sorry about this condition,
not knowing that it's not something to be sorry about.
We got information on our own, and when we found out that kids that has Down Syndrome
gets terminated, we got hurt, because they are
a big part of what we don't know, which is love.
Down Syndrome to me is a gift from God.
It's that extra chromosome that no other person has, and that extra
chromosome is a gift that was given just to them.
Those children are full of love.
For the Garcias, their baby served not just as a blessing, but also a new way of looking
at their situation.
It's opened our perspective and broadened our ways of thinking, and seeing disability
in a new light.
The Garcias decided to share this love with the Maui community.
Aloha Kettlecorn is our pride and joy, and it's such a blessing because we're able to
use our company to share and educate the community.
We did an event in October, which is Down Syndrome Awareness
Month, and we did an event at Kula Country Farms, where we provided education, awareness
with Down Syndrome.
Awareness for us is important so that the people in Hawai'i, and all over, know that
these children, just because they have Down Syndrome and they're
labeled, they can do great things.
They just want to be loved, and they just want to show love.
I have dreams that she can share her story, that she be an advocate, and be an inspiration
to children with Down Syndrome, to communities, to the world.
This is Hunter Nahooikaika from Maui High School, for HIKI NŌ.
Stay tuned after the show to see what the students who produced this story learned from
their experience.
Well, we've come to the end of this episode of HIKI NŌ.
Remember, all these stories were written, shot and edited by students like us.
We hope you've enjoyed watching them, as much as we've enjoyed sharing them with you.
Stay tuned after the show to find out what some students learned working on this episode.
More proof that Hawaii's students HIKI NŌ, can do.
Stay tuned after the credits to see what students from Maui High School learned from their HIKI
NŌ experience.
[AFTER CREDITS, THE CAPTIONING CONTINUES FOR AN ADDITIONAL SEGMENT WITH
STUDENTS AND TEACHERS SHARING "WHAT I LEARNED."]
In Maui High School's Garcia story, I was the camera and co-writer.
I was camera, editor, and co-writer.
I was camera and co-writer.
The Garcia Story is about a couple that lives in Pukalani, Stephanie and Elias Garcia.
And they tried to get pregnant.
They finally ended up getting pregnant, but their baby was diagnosed with Down
Syndrome
We decided that it would be a good story to share with the community.
For this HIKI NŌ story, we really worked well as a team.
For most of us, this was our first HIKI NŌ story, but Yasha was actually the only one
that was experienced with filming these stories and
knowing how they lay out.
Being mentored by Yasha was overall good, because she's so experienced, and it really
helped me become a better videographer.
When she was just like, getting up and close with the baby, I wasn't very
comfortable with doing that.
But seeing her do that really made me not think that I'm overstepping
boundaries into their life, and gave me confidence.
I am definitely proud of the outcome, especially since it is Hunter, Josiah's and April's first
time making a HIKI NŌ story, and the video turned out
really, really well.
For my next HIKI NŌ story, I want to further develop my connection with people.
'Cause I feel like that's the most important thing in film production,
and being professional, when you can interact with
others.
