Dr. Larry Kimura is considered to be the Godfather of the Hawaiian language Revitalization Movement, having been instrumental in the conceptualization and realization of core programs created in the 1980s that brought Hawaiian language to the spotlight. Below are just some of the programs started or co-founded by Larry and the positions he's held since:
- Member of the founding team of the ʻAha Pūnana Leo and its first President;
- Director and Coordinator of the radio show, Ka Leo Hawaiʻi, which was a program that aimed at interviewing native speakers across the island chain;
- Founding director of the Hale Kuamoʻo Hawaiian Language Center at Ka Haka ʻUla o Keʻelikōlani at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo;
- Deverloper and Coordinator of Hawaiian culture-based educational programs at the Astronomy Center of Maunakea (now known as ʻImiloa);
- Chair of the Hawaiian Lexicon committee;
- Lead of Kaniʻāina, the Digital voice collection of Native speakers of Hawaiian;
- and so much more.
The work Larry has done is the foundation for which the movement lives upon now. If it were not for him and the work he has done, the Hawaiian langauge movement would look very different from what it is now.
