Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop directed the five trustees of her estate to erect a school for Hawaiian children (Bishop 1883). Her wish was to improve the capability and well being of her people through education, and to provide an environment where each would have an opportunity to practice and perpetuate Hawaiian values and traditions. In 2008 the librarians of Kamehameha Schools began their own inquiry into how they might infuse Hawaiian values and traditions into their curriculum. An initial meeting of a core group of the school's K-12 librarians set two goals. The first was to inspire Hawaiian students to carry on the traditions and learning styles of their ancestors who were exceptional craftsmen and tradesmen. The second objective was to infuse the library's curriculum with Kamehameha Schools' Working Exit Outcomes (WEO).The WEO is a framework for learning that incorporates Hawaiian cultural understanding and 21st-century skills. These school librarians want to inspire their students to follow the learning styles of their early Hawaiian forebearers and believe students' ability to do so is innate and very much within each student's capacity to achieve.
