Former Puohala Hawaiian Immersion teacher Maile Naki (second from left) is surrounded by sisters and former students Lehua (left), Noelani and Puuwailani Kamalu, who all are crew members on the Hokule'a's three-year worldwide voyage to 26 countries. The trio made cut-outs of their past Puohala teachers (Naki, Helene Fergerstrom and principal Alma Souki) to take with them and remind them of their responsibilities — Lehua as co-navigator, Noelani as crew/language teacher, and Puuwailani as computer tech in the Hikianalia escort canoe.
