house 02/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are advocating for the designation of February 2025 as "Hawaiian Language Month" to honor and support the revitalization of `Olelo Hawai`i, the Native language of Hawaiians. Our goal is to preserve, promote, and celebrate this rich cultural heritage, encouraging everyone to engage in activities that support `Olelo Hawai`i's continued use and development.
