Lau Ā Lau Ka ʻIke

2018 – 2020
English
Lau Ā Lau Ka ʻIke was a two year project (2018-2020) awarded to the World Indigenous Nations University Hawaii Pasifika by the Institute of Museum and Library Science's Native Hawaiian Library Services Program. Through this project, we began to develop a collaborative, Hawaiian language controlled vocabulary. Additionally, Lau Ā Lau Ka ʻIke fostered a community of practitioners, scholars, and cultural experts focused on improving access to Hawaiian collections via metadata, in turn providing a platform for raising further discussions of linking digital collections. Finally, to contribute to scholarly research, to cultural heritage institutions, and to Hawaiian and other Indigenous communities, Lau Ā Lau Ka ʻIke identified a prioritized work plan with best practices for creating collaborative, community-driven controlled vocabularies across collections with appropriate cultural protocols.
