We put emphasis on the kuleana (responsibility) we all have regarding studying and researching the mo'okū'auhau (genealogy) of the Kānaka Māoli (Native Hawaiian) people. Just as important as this work is, so is understanding and studying the mo'olelo (history) of Hawai'i and its people.
There are several resources available to kokua (help) further your understanding of the mo'olelo of Hawai'i. We have listed a few below that we feel best represent the story of Hawai`i and its people. We also feel that the organizations represented below, are in line with the same mission, vision and values of NHGSoc.
