New Exhibits at Haleakalā Visitor Center Share the Stories of Haleakalā in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and English
KULA, Maui, Hawaiʻi — Haleakalā Conservancy is proud to support the renovation and unveiling of new bilingual exhibits at the Haleakalā Visitor Center in the Summit District of Haleakalā National Park, offering visitors an opportunity to experience the stories of Haleakalā through both ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and English.
Located at 9,740 feet above sea level, the Haleakalā Visitor Center welcomes visitors from Hawaiʻi and around the world who come to experience the summit and learn more about the natural and cultural significance of Haleakalā.
The new exhibits share the story of Haleakalā through ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and English and represent an important milestone in interpretation at National Park sites. The National Park Service worked closely with kūpuna, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi language experts, exhibit designers, anthropologists, and other subject matter experts to ensure the exhibits reflect cultural knowledge and relevance.
Haleakalā Conservancy was honored to support this collaborative effort alongside Haleakalā National Park and Hawaiʻi Pacific Parks Association.
“The exhibits in ʻŌlelo Hawai‘i and English share the story of Haleakalā and are a first for National Park sites in the region,” said Superintendent Natalie Gates. “We could not have done this without our park partners, Haleakalā Conservancy and Hawai’i Pacific Parks Association.”
The new exhibits were celebrated with an oli of gratitude and celebration before the visitor center opened to the public.
“Haleakalā Conservancy is proud to be a philanthropic partner in supporting projects that connect people more meaningfully to Haleakalā,” Harlow said. “Through the generosity of our donors, we are able to help the National Park Service preserve and share the stories, knowledge, and cultural traditions that make this place so extraordinary.”
The new exhibits are now available for visitors to explore at the Haleakalā Visitor Center in the Summit District.
