HI'OHIA

HI'OHIA IS A HAWAII NONPROFIT CORPORATION THAT SEEKS TO RECOVER TRADITIONAL NATIVE HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE STORIES FROM HAWAII'S RICH HISTORY AND THEN PRINT AND PUBLISH THEM FOR USE IN HOMES AND IN HAWAIIAN IMMERSION SCHOOLS, AND TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO HISTORIANS AND THE WORLD AS WELL. HI'OHIA'S EFFORTS ARE ACCOMPLISHING TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES: 1. THE PRESERVATION OF CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT NATIVE HAWAIIAN STORIES AND 2. THE RECOVERY AND PERPETUATION OF THE HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE. REVENUES ARE GENERATED THROUGH PUBLIC DONATIONS AND THROUGH SALES OF THE HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE MATERIALS THAT THE COMPANY PRODUCES. THESE REVENUES ARE USED TO RESEARCH AND RECOVER ADDITIONAL NATIVE HAWAIIAN STORIES TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE PUBLICATION.
