E Kala Mai
In our August issue, the memoriam on Mau Piailug incorrectly said that he shared navigational knowledge because he predicted that his fellow Micronesians would one day ask Hawaiians to teach them navigation. The art of navigation belongs to the Micronesians, and no disrespect of that relationship was intended. The article should have read that Piailug shared navigation to keep it alive because he was afraid that Micronesians would struggle with cultural loss as Hawaiians had. In the same issue, fonner OHA Trustee Moses Keale's first name was misspelled. In the August issue, the article "OHA Researcher is emerging conservation leader" should have said that Kamoa Quitevis believes that everyone, not just Native Hawaiians, need a better understanding that the 'āina is a living thing. KWO apologizes for the errors.
