Mele ʻŌiwi Ē: A call to remember who we are and where we come from

Over half of Native Hawaiians now live away from Hawai‘i, yet the connection to home, culture, and identity remains unbroken. Mele ʻŌiwi Ē is a call across oceans, a reminder that wherever we stand, Hawai‘i lives within us. Premiered at the 2025 Native Hawaiian Convention, this film celebrates the strength and unity of the lāhui, from our Kumu on the shores of Hawai‘i to our people in the diaspora.
