Hawaiian cultural preservation

Hawaiian cultural preservation involves safeguarding and promoting the traditions, language, arts, and beliefs of native Hawaiians. This includes teaching the Hawaiian language in schools, practicing traditional arts like hula and crafting, and maintaining significant sites and customs. Efforts are led by communities, organizations, and the government to ensure these cultural practices remain vital for future generations. Preservation recognizes the importance of identity, history, and connection to the land, fostering respect and pride for Hawaiian heritage while adapting traditions in contemporary contexts.
