The United States Mint has honored Native Hawaiian scholar Mary Kawena Pukui on the 2025 Native American $1 coin, recognizing her profound contributions to preserving and perpetuating Hawaiian knowledge. The coin will feature Pukui adorned with a hibiscus flower, a kukui nut lei, and a muʻumuʻu, alongside the inscription “Nānā i Ke Kumu,” a reference to the influential book series she co-authored.

美国造币厂已在2025年美国原住民$ 1硬币上向夏威夷原住民学者玛丽·卡维纳·普基伊（Mary Kawena Pukui）致敬，并认识到她对保存和永久性夏威夷知识的巨大贡献。硬币将以芙蓉花，kukui nut lei和mu'umuu的形式装饰，并带有铭文“nānāike kumu”，这是她共同撰写的有影响力的书籍的引用。

As her great-granddaughter, I carry the privilege and kuleana of stewarding her legacy. While this national recognition is deeply meaningful, those who knew her best remember her humility.

作为她的曾孙女，我承担了导致她的遗产的特权和库利亚娜。尽管这种民族认可是有意义的，但那些最了解她的人会记住她的谦卑。

“I know Tūtū Kawena would probably blush at all the attention because she was very haʻahaʻa,” reflects one of her descendants. “She documented our culture out of love for her people and because she was genuinely interested in learning.”

“我知道TūtūKawena可能会脸红，因为她非常ha haha​​'a，”她的后代之一反映。 “她出于对自己的人民的爱，记录了我们的文化，因为她对学习真的很感兴趣。”

On March 28, the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo—where I serve as director of Native Hawaiian engagement—hosted a panel discussion and kanikapila to celebrate this historic recognition and Women’s History Month. The event brought together scholars, cultural practitioners, and community members to reflect on Pukui’s enduring legacy. The kanikapila honored her musical compositions. Coupled with impromptu hula offered by attendees, the event highlighted many aspects of her contributions.

3月28日，我担任夏威夷当地订婚主任的夏威夷大学，主持了小组讨论和卡尼卡皮拉（Kanikapila），以庆祝这个历史性的认可和妇女历史月。该活动召集了学者，文化从业人员和社区成员，以反思普业的持久遗产。卡尼卡皮拉（Kanikapila）尊重她的音乐作品。加上与会者提供的即兴呼吸片，该活动强调了她的贡献的许多方面。

This commemoration at UH Hilo exemplifies the university’s commitment to bridging academic scholarship with community engagement. By celebrating Pukui’s work, UH Hilo demonstrates the importance of integrating cultural knowledge into education and ensuring that Indigenous traditions remain a vital part of Hawaiʻi’s academic landscape.

UH Hilo的这种纪念活动体现了该大学致力于通过社区参与来弥合学术奖学金的承诺。通过庆祝Pukui的作品，UH Hilo展示了将文化知识融入教育并确保土著传统仍然是夏威夷学术景观的重要组成部分的重要性。

Beyond UH Hilo, the Bishop Museum in collaboration with the Mary Kawena Pukui Cultural Preservation Society will continue honoring Pukui’s legacy with monthly programs, beginning with a special After Hours opening event on April 11 and ending in December. These offerings reflect a broader effort to ensure that future generations connect with her scholarship and its lasting impact on Hawaiʻi.

除了希洛（Uh Hilo）之外，主教博物馆与玛丽·卡维纳（Mary Kawena Pukui）文化保护协会合作，将继续以每月的计划来纪念普库伊（Pukui）的遗产，从4月11日的开幕式开放赛开始，并于12月结束。这些产品反映了更广泛的努力，以确保后代与她的奖学金及其对夏威夷的持久影响联系起来。

The recognition of Pukui on the 2025 Native American $1 coin is a testament to her invaluable contributions and the importance of linking scholarship with community priorities. Through such efforts, places like UH Hilo play a vital role in keeping Indigenous knowledge relevant, accessible, and deeply connected to the people it serves.

Pukui在2025年美国原住民1美元的硬币上的认可证明了她的宝贵贡献以及将奖学金与社区优先事项联系起来的重要性。通过这样的努力，诸如UH Hilo之类的地方在保持土著知识相关，易于访问和与其所服务的人之间有着密切联系而发挥着至关重要的作用。
