Cultural resilience in disaster management is crucial for Indigenous communities. The Action 15 Resilience Hub Network Project on the Hawaiian Island of O'ahu addresses resilience planning gaps through community-based research led by undergraduate students at Kapi'olani Community College. Though the project initially utilized a Western urban resilience planning framework, it evolved to integrate Indigenous methodologies based on feedback from students and community members. This adaptive pedagogical strategy was essential for effectively engaging Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students, as well as other students from underrepresented groups, by recognizing and valuing their cultural backgrounds and knowledge systems. It not only enriched student learning experiences but also highlighted the importance of culturally responsive research and teaching practices in academic institutions. Lessons learned, future suggestions, and reflections from students and community members are reported. This collaboration successfully engaged over 3,000 residents through an island-wide survey and 110 outreach events, including 17 workshops.
