For our 20th convention, the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement is excited to bring the community together virtually for three days of meaningful panel discussions and interactive workshops. Attendees will hear from Native Hawaiian leaders and collaborate with other entrepreneurs, artists, cultural practitioners, and thinkers to discuss important issues and the future directions for our people.
He ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani Mai Kākou; ʻAʻohe Makani Nāna E Kulaʻi
This year's convention theme is inspired by the resilience of our Native Hawaiian people, whom like the ʻaʻaliʻi plant continue to grow and thrive no matter how heavy a wind we are up against.
