Hao Huang, Bessie and Cecil Frankel Endowed Chair in Music, and five students from The Claremont Colleges’ EnviroLab Asia program visited Lahaina, Hawai’i, to learn about Hawai’ians and Chinese immigrants’ relationship with the local ecology, the Lahaina News reports. “While we learned so much about history and the environment, the true highlight was what we all learned from the Maui kama’aina,” Huang said. “By slowing down to listen attentively to local wisdom, we all gained far more than we had accomplished by studying scholarly texts.”
