Ka Lahui Hawai'i
Hilo, Hawaii
This group is working to restore traditional governance through a constitutional convention for a state created Hawaiian Nation. Ka Lahui Hawai'i is the evolutionary product of three generations of Hawaiians who have sought to regain their Native lands and to re-establish themselves as a self-governing people. Its government structure is democratic in nature, its political process is an elective process, and its cultural process is Lokahi.
