Hawaiian cultural revival

Hawaiian cultural revival is a movement to restore and strengthen traditional Hawaiian practices, language, and identity that declined due to historical colonization and suppression. It involves community efforts to reclaim Hawaiian language (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi), hula, music, arts, spiritual practices, and customs. This revival promotes pride in Hawaiian heritage, educates younger generations, and ensures these traditions are preserved for the future. It also seeks recognition of Native Hawaiian rights and sovereignty, fostering a renewed sense of cultural resilience and identity rooted in ancestral roots.
