This qualitative phenomenological study examined ten Hawai'i State Department of Education educators teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2019-2020 academic school year. It was designed to understand the challenges Native Hawaiian teachers faced by providing their students with learning experiences using technology while preserving culture, language, and identity due to the abrupt transition to emergency remote teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. An in-depth interview process was used to collect the data in this study. The ten participants were recruited through a snowball sampling via social media platforms. The study's target population for the sample participants were K-12 teachers working for the Hawai'i State Department of Education during the 2019-2020 academic school year. The in-depth interviews were conducted in-person and via telephone interviews. Following the interview, transcribing, and manual coding process, using the qualitative software NVivo, the data was analyzed. The study found three significant implications: (a) Native Hawaiian K-12 teachers were able to incorporate cultural nuances in their classrooms via virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic; (b) Native Hawaiian K-12 educators could incorporate cultural nuances contributing to knowledge being passed on to students classrooms via virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic; (c) culture does influence Native Hawaiian K-12 educators' lived experiences with technology implementation in their classrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations for future research should explore how educators in Hawai'i contribute to the importance of preserving culture in education. Future studies should also focus on the remote and underrepresented populations in Hawai'i to investigate how technology and culture can fuse to enhance teaching and learning for both teachers and students.
