Our Mission
Our mission is to perpetuate the ancestral spaces of Hīlea, Kaʻū, Hawaiʻi and its unique history through environmental and cultural restoration while providing educational grounding for Hilea descendants, Native Hawaiians, and the broader community.
Our Vision
Rooted in our lineage from Hīlea, we envision a future where our ancestral lands are preserved and thriving—where the cultural, environmental, and community wealth of the ahupuaʻa are restored to honor the legacy of our kūpuna, uplift ʻohana, and empower future generations of cultural stewards and educators.
