Description
The ʻĀina Org Index: Mapping Cultural Resurgence in Pae ʻĀina Hawai‘i (‘ĀINAVIS Dataset) was created by the ‘ĀINAVIS team in collaboration with institutional and industry partners. The index is a preliminary online dataset that indexes the unique contemporary landscape of work about ʻĀina (Land / That Which Feeds) across Pae ʻĀina Hawai‘i (Hawaiian Islands). For our deepest observations, we focused on detailing a study set of approximately 300 entities representing ʻĀina in some fundamental capacity.
The ʻĀINAVIS team supported the methodology with an applied experimental participatory approach towards data engagement and visualization that foregrounds the process of dialogue (talk story) as the basis for data interpretation in a conceptual process coined by ʻĀINAVIS as “Data Charrettes.” The Hawai‘i ʻĀina Organization Audit helps us to better anticipate the types of metrics we will need to appropriately acknowledge and understand the dynamics and trends of what we believe to be at the forefront of some of the most crucial examples of “on the ground” efforts to recover and restore ʻĀina as the source of wellbeing in Pae ʻĀina Hawai‘i, as a physical place that we call Home.
