Haleakalā National Park is a spectacular natural landscape that vibrates with stories of ancient and modern Hawaiian culture and protects the bond between the land and its people. The park also cares for endangered species, some of which exist nowhere else. Over 1.2 million people visit this special place each year to renew their spirit amid stark volcanic landscapes and subtropical rain forest with an unforgettable backcountry and awe-inspiring night sky.
 
The Fund for People in Parks worked with Superintendent Natalie Gates, park staff, and filmmaker Steve Bumgardner to produce a short visitor orientation film that provides viewers with an understanding of the diverse cultural and natural resources at Haleakalā. The film explores the three major natural areas of the park, the sacred significance for Native Hawaiian people, and the wide variety of visitor experiences that each area offers.
 
The film premiered at Haleakalā Night at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on October 18, 2018, is available on the park's YouTube channel, and is currently being promoted for further use among the tourism industry in Hawaii.
