Kā Makani Kāʻili Koa

Founded in March 2024.
We are a Native Hawaiian 501(c)(3) Organization established in the State of Hawaii.

Our Mission

Upholding the legacy of Kumu Mary Kawena Pukui, championing the vigorous preservation and promotion of Native Hawaiian culture and traditions. Inspired by Kumu’s lifelong dedication to documenting and revitalizing Hawaiian language and customs through educational efforts, our mission integrates these practices with modern STEAM disciplines—Sciences, Technologies, Engineering, Arts (& culture), Mathematics, —to empower youth and bolster community perseverance.

We strive to foster Opuali’i, embodying nobility of character, while emulating the revered good works and accomplishments of our Nā Ali’i. Our efforts also integrate the ethical and intellectual principles of Kauka José Rizal and the World Organization of the Scout Movement, enriching our communities’ foundations. This holistic approach creates career pathways and economic opportunities that leverage our rich cultural heritage, aiming to revitalize our Lāhui economically and ensure the enduring influence of Hawaiian culture for future generations.
