Mission
The mission statement of KAHEA
KAHEA is a community-based organization working to improve the quality of life for Hawai`i's people and future generations through the revitalization and protection of Hawai`i's unique natural and cultural resources. We advocate for the proper stewardship of our resources and for social responsibility by promoting cultural understanding and environmental justice.
We focus on issues that impact cultural rights and the 'āina (land).
- We are cultural activists and practitioners, including kuma hula (teachers of dance, language, chants, history, and healing), environmental activists and people concerned about social justice.
- We are on every island.
- We are 'ōpio (youth), mākua (adults) and kūpuna (elders)
Together, we envision a truly just and sustainable Hawai`i in a world where people, culture and native ecosystems survive and thrive.
