Hawaiian Language revitalization

Hawaiian Language revitalization refers to efforts to revive and promote the use of the Hawaiian language, which had declined due to historical suppression and globalization. These initiatives include teaching Hawaiian in schools, creating media content in the language, and encouraging its use in daily life. The goal is to preserve and strengthen Hawaiian cultural identity by ensuring the language remains a living, functional part of community and education. These efforts have seen success, with more speakers and increased recognition, helping to restore a vital aspect of Hawaii’s heritage.
