Aloha! I have posted on reddit since my freshman year about Hawaiian history. Now I am a senior!

I plan to go to Uh manoa next year so that I may have access to archives, museums, and orginizations that can support me as a leader.

I wonder if anyone has tips and or opinions about staying at the dorms and what they're look

who should I start reaching out to, to network to support me next year?
maybe professors or cultural leaders who have connections at UH?
anyone know any quick and easy scholarships I can start applying for
is there anything at OHA or the palace that I can go to for work?
being a featherworker now I am also curious how I could still have that in my every day life (dorm life will make it challenging cause of space)
should I maybe reach out to mele chun about working for her and her featherwork company?
how much money would I need to make through a job to just rent a place?
how can I spend as little money as possible on o'ahu? (I would be moving from kaua'i)

all help is much appreciated. mahalo!

Ps, boy oh boy senior year is gonna be both fun and scary o_o

the island I live on might have lost a species in the wild (akeke'e) and will eminently lose its Scarlet Honeycreeper (i'iwi) which only has 4-6 individuals left. while common on Hawai'i and Maui, Kaua'is population is still unique and WILL be lost.

A senior now! I plan to do Hawaiian studies next year at UH Manoa. pushing for as much support as I can get!

In 1929, Hawaii introduced Japanese white-eyes to control insects; they became its most abundant land bird and began competing with native birds for food. now they're invasive and a threat to birds like amakihi

The first Black-faced Honeycreeper ever caught was also the last of it's species. Po'o'uli were first discovered in 1973. The baker speciment was first caught January 15th 1997, color band tagged, and released. In 2004 he was captured again but unfortunately passed away 11 weeks later of old age.

Hawai'i was home to some of the greatest biodiversity on earth and now it is the extinction capitol of the world. Last week it was suggested that a bird from Kaua'i known as "akeke'e" is now functionally extinct. Three more species from Kaua'i may face the same fate by the end of the year.

One of the earliest depictions of a "humupapa" feather "hatband". in the 1800s feather bands were also used as headbands. Chiefess Liliha's Humupapa was most likely from the yellow E'e feathers of an O'o bird which were longer and resided under the wing of the O'o

Do you feel that there is a lack of jobs in Hawai'i?

Something to be aware of: Kaua'i is about to loose 4 honeycreeper species by the end of this year
