Someone who carries stories about a place, a family, a way of doing things, or a time that has already begun to change. So we want to ask you: Whose story should we sit with? As we begin building the KŪ Digital M...

A place for our stories to live

We grow up hearing stories so often that we assume they’ll always be there. Stories around the dinner table. Stories from our kūpuna. Stories about where we came from, how things used to be, what our families went through, and the small things that shaped who we are. Until one day, we realize we never recorded them. Over the years, KŪ Project has changed in a lot of ways. But the thing under...
