Ko Kākou Inoa · Our Name
Kaupapa — a generation back, to overlap.
We see it as continuity: the way one generation’s foundation carries into the next, and the way distinct things come to share common ground.
That overlap is not just where our name comes from — it’s how we work. Government sits with community. Industry works alongside place-based knowledge. Recovery efforts draw on the lessons of the past to protect what comes next. Kaupapa is the space where those things meet.
Ko Kākou Kuleana · Our Mission
Kaupapa exists to strengthen the resilience of Native Hawaiian communities by uniting government, private, and community partners in shared work — from disaster recovery and rebuilding to community engagement and economic opportunity — grounded always in cultural respect and the wellbeing of the people we serve.
Ko Kākou Hana · Our Work
Our Work
Three lines of effort, one purpose: sustainable opportunity and lasting wellbeing for the communities we serve — including regenerative + sports tourism that put Native Hawaiian stories and stewardship first.
Government & Community Engagement
We sit at the table between agencies, funders, and kanaka-led organizations so that decisions reflect the people they affect.
Regenerative + Sports Tourism
Regenerative travel and sports tourism that return value to Hawaiʻi Nei, with an emphasis on Maui Nui. In recent years, Hawaiʻi has lost major sporting events, taking meaningful economic impact with them. We are working to bring them back to all of Hawaiʻi Nei in ways that honor ʻāina, culture, and community.
