‘Ano’ai ke aloha! Join NHSS next week Tuesday, June 16th from 1 to 2:30 pm in QLCSS 113 as we learn more about kōnane, a traditional Hawaiian strategy game. In this workshop, we will first ground ourselves with the historical importance of kōnane. Then, we will explore and practice different strategies, as this workshop is also designed to help people build their kōnane playing skills. All skill levels encouraged.
