Muwekma Alumni Speaker Series: Kauanoe Batangan

I thought it was really valuable to hear about Kauanoe's experience since he had been in our shoes and graduated not too long ago. I admired his dedication to giving back to his community and strong attachment to home. It was also interesting to learn more about the Kamehameha schools and their importance to the island since multiple people in Muwekma went there and it was a big part of their life. His experience with the First Nations' Futures Institute was very interesting as well and I want to learn more about how Stanford partners with indigenous communities. I am excited about Kauanoe's future and the future of Native Hawaiian representation under strong leaders like him.
