Raising Change - Defining Our Future
September 30 - October 2, 2008
Hawai'i Convention Center

The Annual Native Hawaiian Convention is the largest gathering of community members, organizations, policy makers, legislative representatives, and Federal agencies interested in Native Hawaiian community development. Each year the Convention features dynamic speakers, informative presentations, timely policy reports, public policy plenary sessions, luncheons, banquets, keynote addresses, roundtables, and workshops, that focus on issues related to cultural preservation, education, housing, economic development, land access, and self-determination.

Come celebrate our collective progress and find common ground, as we work to overcome current and future challenges as a community. Join us in September as we share knowledge and skills, discover commonalities, challenges and solutions, and celebrate our collective success!
