ʻO KE ALIʻI KE ʻĀINA, ʻO KE KANAKA KE KAUWĀ.
Hui Kūpono
We are a coalition of tenured aloha ʻāina advocates, grassroots community organizations, and dedicated organizers. In service to our mission we are preparing future generations to inherit and advance our work as we transition into becoming ancestors ourselves. We strive to leave behind a resilient social infrastructure and a blueprint that empowers tomorrow's leaders to shift our relational paradigm with Mother Earth.
