Our Mission
Our mission is to empower and enable Kanaka maoli, particularly native Hawaiian men who seek recovery restoration, and reconciliation with themselves, their ohana, and the community through our process of Ho'okanaka "a culturally-rooted and communally relevant process of personal change catalyzed by servant leadership."
Our History
The beginning before the beginning.
Intergenerational commitment to servant leadership was passed down to our founder Iopa Maunakea from his grandmother, Kupuna Katherine Kamalukukui Maunakea. See the video below.
