Preserving traditional Hawaiian culture while empowering Hawaiian people.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we extend a warm aloha to you all as we embark on our journey to launch the Abigail K. K. Kawānanakoa Foundation, representing the legacy of Ke Ali’i Abigail Kinoiki Kekaulike Kawānanakoa.

As you explore our website, we encourage you to learn about the Foundation’s programs, including the Kūhiō Fellows Program, which builds on the legacy of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalani‘ana‘ole, while preparing the next generation of Native Hawaiian leaders.

Our kuleana and unwavering commitment is to ensure the maintenance of a Native Hawaiian cultural identity, while providing support to Native Hawaiians to thrive in their chosen cultural or educational pursuits. We welcome your participation as we embark in this important work. 

Mahalo for your interest and we encourage you to follow the Foundation’s future endeavors to strengthen our lāhui and perpetuate the vision and legacy of our founder. 

With aloha and gratitude,
The Board of Directors
Abigail Kawānanakoa Foundation
