Matson Navigation Company and the Kamehameha Schools Hawaii Campus present to you, “Lae Kupuna,” a symbol of nature and being and the very foundation of our heritage, culture, and values. The wisdom of Lae Kupuna is passed on through generations by our Kupuna (elders) and is perpetuated through the hearts and souls of our keiki (children). As their guardian, Lae Kupuna nurtures and guides our keiki through their voyage of life.
Lae Kupuna was created through the vision of the keiki and staff of the Kamehameha Schools Hawaii Campus. From the inception of Itʻs a Honu World™ to its completion, Lae Kupuna has been guided by faith and touched by an outpouring of Aloha. She has taken on a life of her own, with a heart filled with the love of her creators.
