As we close in on a year of the pandemic, we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. This weekend we offer ways to help kūpuna get vaccinated, online guidance to learn more about your genealogy, and a recipe that will brighten your day.

She received her Master’s degree in Library Information Science at the University of Hawaʻi at Mānoa in 2016. Kylie attributes her success, resiliency, and industriousness to all her kūpuna who came before her and to the village of ʻohana and hoaloha who continue to guide her.
Make a berry delicious treat
In our Spring issue, Maja Liotta writes, “In many parts of the world, berries are the harbingers of spring! Not only are berries beautiful, but they contain a powerful punch of antioxidants (second-highest known in the plant kingdom, actually). Pomegranate juice (which contains the highest antioxidants) pairs well with chia seeds to create a fruit pudding that has the nutritional punch that moms can feel awesome about feeding to their kids!” Get the recipe.
