We are consciously aware of the changes in our community where urban development threatens the traditions of our native hawaiian culture and values. Reminding ourselves of the saying "... aina is liken to an ali'i and we are servants to aina".

With each passing generation, we realize the sensitivity in caring for the needs of our Hawaiian Citizens and those of Hawaiian Ancestry. We must be pono in our decision making process which is in direct relation to our purposes. With the perserverance of our staff and volunteers we will continue to perpetuate our native hawaiian culture and values.
