Our Mission

To extend beyond cultural education. We are dedicated to reviving and nurturing the traditional skills and values that once thrived within the original Hale Mua. From pahu making to traditional Hawaiian Hale building and navigating by the stars, our programs are designed to empower Hawaiian youth and adults alike. By rekindling these ancient practices, we help our community members rediscover their identity and fulfill their kuleana, ensuring that the wisdom of our kūpuna informs our modern existence

Our Vision

Looking forward, we envision a future where every Hawaiian island has a thriving cultural center, a beacon of tradition and learning. These centers will house extensive libraries and offer spaces where all can learn, create, and celebrate the richness of Hawaiian culture. Within the next five years, our goal is to establish these hubs in Waipiʻo Valley-Hawai'i, Hana-Maui, Papakolea-O'ahu, and Kekaha-Kaua'i, ensuring that our traditions are not only remembered but are also lived and breathed daily.
