Abstract
This article describes how anthropological knowledge has been applied in the Kamehameha Elementary Education Program (KEEP), a multidisciplinary educational research and development effort to create a successful language arts program for underachieving Native Hawaiian children. Special attention is given to the process of translating anthropological knowledge into effective educational practice. Possible implications of the KEEP work for similar efforts are described.Keywords
