Summary
Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Hawaii's Cultural Heritage Riding Programs
In Hawaii, the Cultural Heritage Riding Programs grant aims to foster a rich understanding of traditional Hawaiian horsemanship among younger generations. This initiative targets educational outcomes centered around preserving and revitalizing cultural practices associated with horses, which have historical significance in Hawaiian culture. By focusing on young riders aged 29 and under who have not yet participated at a senior level, the program seeks to ensure that these age groups gain essential knowledge and skills necessary for the practice of Hawaiian horsemanship.
The outcomes of this grant hold significant importance for Hawaii, rooted in the islands' unique cultural identity. By embedding traditional practices into modern riding education, the program not only supports individual skill development but also emphasizes cultural heritage and community pride. This is particularly crucial as Hawaii faces challenges in retaining cultural practices amidst globalization and increased external influences.
To achieve these outcomes, the grant will facilitate partnerships with local cultural organizations, elders, and experienced horsemen who can provide firsthand knowledge and training to participants. These collaborations will establish workshops and training sessions, where learners can engage in hands-on experiences while being mentored by seasoned experts in Hawaiian equestrian traditions. Furthermore, the program emphasizes the communal aspect of riding, encouraging participants to understand the role of horses in the broader context of Hawaiian history and society.
With the implementation of the Cultural Heritage Riding Programs grant, Hawaii can sustain its unique equestrian legacy while ensuring young riders become stewards of traditional practices. By reaching out to schools and cultural organizations throughout the islands, the initiative will spread awareness and accessibility, ensuring that young riders from diverse backgrounds can take part in these enriching experiences. This approach is vital to maintaining the historical legacy of equestrian practices in Hawaii and empowering future generations to celebrate and preserve their cultural identity.
