Kanaʻiolowalu is a project of the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission. It is a year-long campaign to reunify Native Hawaiians in the self-recognition of our unrelinquished sovereignty, by enrolling Native Hawaiians and supporters in this declaration.
Native Hawaiian Roll Commission Chair, Former Governor John Waiheʻe, speaks to the increased importance of Kanaʻiolowalu because of other unsuccessful efforts; highlighting how many of the “heros” who came before us, “signed up for” numerous lists and initiatives, in the face of impossibilities. This is now our chance to do the same.
