The Maui parrotbill or kiwikiu (Pseudonestor xanthophrys) is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper endemic to the island of Maui in Hawaii. It can only be found naturally in 50 square kilometres (19 sq mi) of mesic and wet forests at 1,200–2,150 metres (3,940–7,050 ft) on the windward slopes of Haleakalā.

Throughout history Polynesians were some of the mo Throughout history Polynesians were some of the most skilled navigators in the world. Often called astronauts of the sea, Native Hawaiians and other Polynesian peoples developed a deep scientific and spiritual understanding of stars and the night sky as a guide for wayfinding. 

The summit of Haleakalā was and still is a place for Native Hawaiians to study the cosmos. 

Today visitors from all over the world come to the the summit to view the night sky. As a part of Mahina ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i we wanted to share some ‘Ōlelo that you can use when admiring the night sky ✨💫☄️🌝

Footage of ‘Ohe’o during this storm ⛈️🤍 Footage of ‘Ohe’o during this storm ⛈️🤍😍 

This may seem silly to read for some locals but, the pools at ‘ohe’o have been closed for some while now and swimming is especially unsafe during a storm like this. Flash flood warnings have been issued for the whole island of Maui. We do not recommend taking the road to Hāna today as forecast suggests more storms moving from offshore into East Maui today. Please respect the rangers when they tell you you can’t swim today 🤦🏽‍♀️

Stay safe out there everybody !!! 💛 aloha
