Hawaiian History Month

As Hawaiian History Month draws to a close, we want to share some resources to help you stay connected.

You are always welcome to search our Hawaiian Pacific Collection at the Sullivan Family Library while the library is open. The collection cannot be checked out but can be enjoyed in the library.

Below are external organizations you can connect with:

Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī

Founded in 2007, the organization aims to educate those living in Hawaiʻi, and those visiting as well, about the true history of this islands and provide information on the Native Hawaiian people. 

Hawaiian Council

The Hawaiian council aims to lift the lāhui and enhance the cultural, economic, political, and community development for Native Hawaiians.

Office of Hawaiian Affairs

OHA aims to improve the wellbeing of all Native Hawaiians and was born out of the activism of the 1970s. Annually, OHA provides Native Hawaiian students with $500,000 in scholarships to help pay for college and has given out over $34 million in loans to help Native Hawaiians start businesses, improve their homes, and consolidate debt.
