ʻAha ʻŌpio: Ulu Koa

Calling out to our young Aloha ʻĀina students!

Join us at the CNHA Annual Native Hawaiian Convention as we take you through a full day of understanding the framework of our Native Rights in Hawaiʻi and the systems that they operate in. Water rights, Ceded Lands, Kingdom laws and more will be discussed. This is also an opportunity for teachers to participate and earn a stipend for your participation.

The ʻAha ʻŌpio occurs on the first day of convention, July 19 from 9:00am – 4:30pm (8:30am registration) and participants on this first day get full access to the entirety of the convention for free. Seats for students and teachers are limited
