On display through July 14, 2024 during library hours!
Kaimuki Public Library is hosting a traveling exhibit called Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness (Courtesy of the National Library of Medicine and the Hawaii-Pacific Chapter of the Medical Library Association).
Visitors can learn about Native health and its connection to community, the land and spirit through the exhibit banners. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
The exhibit examines health and medicine among contemporary American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians. It explores the ties between wellness, illness and cultural life through a combination of interviews with Native people, artwork and objects.
Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible.
