Tokuda | T000487 | tokuda.house.gov | tokuda | https://tokuda.house.gov/media/press-releases?PageNum_rs=1& | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Jill N. Tokuda (HI-02), joined by Representative Ed Case (HI-01), introduced a resolution supporting the designation of September 2026 as Hawaiian History Month and reaffirming the Federal trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian Community. Senators Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono introduced a similar resolution in the Senate. “Honoring Hawaiian History Month is not just about honoring the past, but protecting what generations of Native Hawaiian leaders, historians, scholars, and artists fought so hard to preserve and perpetuate,” said Rep. Tokuda. “Today, the Trump administration is targeting the very programs and institutions that sustain Hawaiian history, culture, and education. Congress must stand firm in protecting these vital resources and upholding our trust obligations to the Native Hawaiian Community.” The “Hawaiian History Month” resolution recognizes the history, culture, and contributions of Native Hawaiians, including efforts to revitalize ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, cultural traditions, and ʻāina stewardship practices. It also highlights key federal programs that support Native Hawaiian museums, libraries, artists, cultural practitioners, and community organizations. The resolution directly points to recent Trump administration actions that threaten those programs, including proposed cuts to the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
