Indigenous educational research illuminates the importance of culture in education for native communities. This study compared teaching approaches of 15 Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners and classroom teachers through interviews and observations. Applying Sociocultural and Bridging Multiple Worlds theories, this study examined three research questions: (a) What are Hawaiian educators’ views on how teaching from a Hawaiian approach influences their students? (b) What are Hawaiian educators’ definitions of success for Native youths? (c) What challenges do Hawaiian educators identify regarding teaching in Hawaiian ways within a Western context? Results revealed that all educators believed that teaching in cultural ways increased students’ success, promoted students’ sense of meaning and identities, and empowered students. Educators in both formal and informal settings faced challenges of bridging traditional knowledge into a modern context. Understanding native perspectives can support educators as cultural advocates and assist in creating policy for traditional cultural teaching strategies
