About Event

Join us in advancing the cultural and community development of Native Hawaiians! The 2009 California Native Hawaiian Forum is hosted by Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA), in partnership with the Kanaka Maoli o Kaleponi (KMOKI) and Kaleponi Advocates for Hawaiian Affairs (KA HA). This valuable forum will share valuable information on financial resources and grants for nonprofits. The agenda will also cover current public policy issues such as the S.381 Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act (the Akaka Bill), the Hawaii Supreme Court case and the 2009 Policy priorities of the Native Hawaiian Policy Center.


This is a must for community leaders, community development and advocacy groups interested in Native Hawaiian capacity building on the U.S. continent. If you are interested in learning about funding opportunities and policy priorities, block your calendar and save your seat today!
