Day 2 Recap — Learning & Taking Action
We began with reflection and prayer before hearing impactful presentations from our UNITY Earth Ambassadors. Youth participated in circle teachings on the Four Elements and hands-on small-group workshops—Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.
The afternoon focused on project planning, where participants started shaping their own community Earth events and action plans.

Day 1 Recap Pt. 2 🌺
These moments remind us that the land is a sacred relative—one we protect for the generations to come.
After our field experience at Laupāhoehoe Beach Park, a beautiful lunch carried us into an unforgettable evening.
The Cultural Opening (Moonrise – Hōkū) filled the night with traditional chants honoring the birth of the Hawaiian Islands, welcoming hula, island mele, and storytelling through both tradition and modern creativity.
A powerful bridge of ancestral knowledge, youth leadership, and aloha ʻāina.

The UNITY family sends its love and support to the family of LeAndra Bitsie, a beautiful UNITY alumna and former two-term Female Co-President (2000-2002). She lived an amazing life as a motivational speaker, trainer, and facilitator. Here’s one of her last social media posts about UNITY: “I’m so thankful for all of you who changed my life. Native youth: YOU are a blessing! Y’all better represent! I love you all! Enjoy yourself, get out of your comfort zone, and learn. Because we are powerful people.”
Zelle donations to help with funeral expenses are being accepted by LeAndra’s mother, Agnes Barney, at (505) 879-3129
