Aloha kakahiaka a pau!

Ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Papa Hoʻokele o ICERM, nā kākoʻo, nā limahana, nā mea manawaleʻa a me nā hoahana, ʻo koʻu hanohano a me koʻu kuleana kiʻekiʻe ke hoʻokipa iā ʻoukou a pau i ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā Makahiki Mua no ka Hoʻoholo Kūʻē Kūʻē ʻEthnic and Religious and Peacebuilding.

Makemake au e hoʻomaikaʻi iā ʻoukou a pau no ka lawe ʻana i ka manawa mai kā ʻoukou papa hana paʻa (a i ʻole ke ola hoʻomaha) e hui pū me mākou no kēia hanana. He mea kupanaha loa ka ʻike ʻana a me ka hui pū ʻana me nā loea kaulana he nui, nā loea hoʻoholo hakakā, nā mea hoʻoponopono, nā alakaʻi a me nā haumāna mai nā ʻāina he nui a puni ka honua. Makemake wau e haʻi aku he nui ka poʻe i makemake e noho ma ʻaneʻi i kēia lā, akā ma muli o kekahi mau kumu, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hele. Ke nānā nei kekahi o lākou i ka hanana ma ka pūnaewele ke kamaʻilio nei mākou. No laila, e ʻae mai iaʻu e hoʻokipa i kā mākou kaiāulu pūnaewele i kēia ʻaha kūkā.

Ma o kēia ʻaha kūkā honua, makemake mākou e hoʻouna i kahi ʻōlelo o ka manaʻolana i ka honua, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka poʻe ʻōpio a me nā kamaliʻi e uluhua nei i nā hakakā lāhui a me ka hoʻomana e kū nei i kēia manawa.

Ke hoʻomau nei ka 21st century i nā nalu o ka lāhui a me ka hoʻomana hoʻomana i lilo ia i mea hoʻoweliweli weliweli loa i ka maluhia, ka hoʻomau politika, ka ulu waiwai a me ka palekana i ko mākou honua. ʻO kēia mau hakakā ua pepehi a hōʻeha i nā ʻumi kaukani a hoʻoneʻe i nā haneli haneli, e kanu ana i ka hua no ka hana ʻino i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

No kā mākou ʻAha Kūkākūkā Makahiki Mua, ua koho mākou i ke kumumanaʻo: "The Advantages of Ethnic & Religious Identity in Conflict Mediation and Peacebuilding." ʻO ka manawa pinepine, ʻike ʻia nā ʻokoʻa o ka lāhui a me nā kuʻuna manaʻoʻiʻo i kahi drawback i ke kaʻina hana maluhia. ʻO ka manawa kēia e hoʻohuli i kēia mau manaʻo a ʻike hou i nā pōmaikaʻi o kēia mau ʻokoʻa. ʻO kā mākou manaʻo e hāʻawi nā hui i hui ʻia o nā lāhui a me nā kuʻuna manaʻoʻiʻo i nā waiwai i ʻike ʻole ʻia i ka poʻe hana kulekele, nā keʻena hāʻawi a me nā ʻoihana kanaka, a me nā loio ʻuwao e hana nei e kōkua iā lākou.

No laila, ke manaʻo nei kēia ʻaha kūkā e hoʻolauna i ka nānā maikaʻi ʻana i nā hui lāhui a me ka hoʻomana a me kā lākou kuleana i ka hoʻoholo hakakā a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka maluhia. E kākoʻo nā pepa no ka hōʻike ʻana ma kēia ʻaha kūkā a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana ma hope mai ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻokoʻa lāhui a me ka hoʻomana a me ko lākou mau hemahema, i ka ʻimi ʻana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea maʻamau a me nā pono o nā lāhui like ʻole. ʻO ka pahuhopu ka kōkua ʻana i kekahi i kekahi e ʻike a hana i ka hapa nui o nā mea a kēia mau heluna e hāʻawi ai e pili ana i ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ka hakakā, ka holomua ʻana i ka maluhia, a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i nā ʻoihana no ka maikaʻi o nā mea āpau.

ʻO ke kumu o kēia ʻaha kūkā e kōkua iā mākou e ʻike kekahi i kekahi a ʻike i kā mākou pilina a me nā mea maʻamau i kahi ala i loaʻa ʻole i ka wā i hala; e hoʻoulu i ka noʻonoʻo hou, e hoʻoulu i nā manaʻo, nīnau, a kamaʻilio & kaʻana like i nā moʻolelo empirical, e hoʻolauna a kākoʻo i nā hōʻike o nā pōmaikaʻi he nui i hāʻawi ʻia e ka lehulehu a me ka lehulehu o nā manaʻoʻiʻo e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka maluhia a me ka holomua o ka nohona pili waiwai.

Ua hoʻolālā mākou i kahi papahana hoihoi no ʻoe; he papahana e loaʻa ana kahi ʻōlelo koʻikoʻi, nā ʻike mai ka poʻe akamai, a me nā kūkākūkā papa. Manaʻo mākou ma o kēia mau hana, e loaʻa iā mākou nā mea hana a me nā loea hou e kōkua ai e pale a hoʻonā i nā hakakā lāhui a me ka hoʻomana i ko mākou honua.

Hāʻawi ka ICERM i ka manaʻo nui i nā kūkākūkā puʻuwai hāmama ma ka ʻuhane o ka hāʻawi ʻana a me ka lawe ʻana, ka pānaʻi, ka hilinaʻi like a me ka makemake maikaʻi. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou he pono e hoʻoponopono pilikino a me ka mālie nā pilikia paʻakikī, a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻonā ʻia nā pilikia paʻakikī ma ka mālama ʻana i nā hōʻike hoʻomāinoino, hoʻokahuli aupuni, kaua, pahū, pepehi kanaka, hoʻouka kaua a me nā pepehi kanaka a i ʻole nā ​​poʻomanaʻo ma ka Paʻi. E like me kā Donald Horowitz i ʻōlelo ai ma kāna puke, Nā Lahui i ka hakakā, "Ma o ke kūkākūkā like ʻana a me ka makemake maikaʻi e hiki ai ke hoʻoholo ʻia."

Me ka haʻahaʻa a pau, makemake wau e hoʻohui i kēlā, ʻo ka mea i hoʻomaka i ka makahiki 2012 ma ke ʻano he papahana haʻahaʻa i manaʻo ʻia e hāpai i nā ala ʻē aʻe no ka pale ʻana, hoʻonā, a aʻo ʻana i nā poʻe e pili ana i nā hakakā interethnic a me nā hoʻomana, ua lilo i kēia lā i ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻole a me kahi neʻe honua. , ka mea e hoʻokomo i ka manaʻo kaiāulu a me kahi pūnaewele o nā mea kūkulu alahaka mai nā ʻāina he nui a puni ka honua. Hoʻohanohano mākou i ka loaʻa ʻana i waena o mākou kekahi o kā mākou poʻe kūkulu alahaka. Ua huakaʻi kekahi o lākou mai ko lākou ʻāina home e hele i kēia ʻaha kūkā ma New York. Ua hooikaika lakou me ka luhi no ka hana ana i keia hanana.

Makemake au e lawe i kēia manawa e hoʻomaikaʻi aku i nā lālā o ka Papa, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka Luna Hoʻokele o ka Papa Hoʻokele, ʻo Dr. Dianna Wuagneux. Mai ka makahiki 2012, ua hana māua ʻo Kauka Dianna me ke kōkua o nā lālā o ko mākou Papa i ke ao a me ka pō i mea e hoʻolilo ai i ka ICERM i hui hana. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i noho kino ʻo Kauka Dianna Wuagneux me mākou i kēia lā ma muli o kekahi mau hemahema i hiki koke mai. Makemake au e heluhelu i kekahi hapa o ka memo i loaa ia'u mai iaia mai i kekahi mau hora aku nei:
