  • He Waʻa, He Moku: Reflections from INSPIRE 2024  

    The community in Las Vegas is working hard, understanding that Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are on a waʻa together, and are contributing all they have to ensure that waʻa is strong and ready to support the next generation of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Whether these youth decide to stay on the continent, or move back to their ʻāina, their mākua (parents, aunties, uncles, etc.) are committed to ensuring their waʻa always points to home, and they have what they need to sustain themselves while living in Las Vegas and beyond.
