FOR OVER TWO DECADES, THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN CONVENTION
has been the pulse of our people—a space to confront challenges, celebrate wins, and build what’s next. Now, as more of our ʻohana live on the continent than in our ancestral homeland, it’s time to meet them where they are. This convention is more than a gathering—it’s a reconnection and chance to share stories, amplify voices, and chart a path forward together.
