Appreciative Kuleana Inquiry
He ala nīnau no ka ʻike ʻana i ka mea e lilo ana i kuleana.
AKI helps a person, team, or project discover kuleana by beginning with stories of care, strengths already present, relationships that sustain the work, and the responsibility now asking to be named.
ʻAʻole kēia he helu hoʻokūkū. He ala kēia e nīnau ai: he aha ka mea e ola nei, ʻo wai ka mea i pili, a he aha ka mea e pono ai ke mālama pū ʻia?

The AKI Journey
Ka ʻŌlelo Kuleana
Emerging Kuleana Statement
Use this as a working sentence, not a final claim. The statement should become clearer after peer reflection.
Draft
Kuleana 360
Peer Reflection Layer
After the participant drafts a statement, invite others to mirror what they see. The goal is loving clarity, not grading.

Reflection Pattern
As peer responses come in, summarize them as a pattern. Do not reduce the process to a score.
Cultural and Language Review Note
This is a notional prototype for discussion. It is not a traditional Hawaiian form, an official translation, a certification, or an authoritative definition of kuleana. The ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, cultural framing, and proposed use should be reviewed by fluent ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi practitioners and appropriately situated community members before public or institutional use.
