| The Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies is named for Gladys Kamakakūokalani Ainoa Brandt, the late Native Hawaiian educator, whose reputation, integrity and passionate devotion to education, still inspires and guides Kamakakūokalani today. We offer both a Bachelor’s and Master of Art degrees in five areas of concentration encompassing the breadth of Hawaiian knowledge and experience, from politics and history, to literature, visual arts, music, natural resource management and Hawai’i’s relationship with the rest of Polynesia. | The Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies is committed to honoring the thousands of Hawaiians 100 years ago, who signed the Ku’e petitions in opposition to the American annexation of Hawai’i. Their mandate to us, their descendants, was to forever retain our national identity, and forever seek reclamation of our sovereignty. Here at Kamakakūokalani, we provide ‘Education for the Nation,’ in support of their ancestral vision. |
