Volunteers Breathe New Life into Sacred Lāna‘i Site
September 2025 — Hiʻi, an ancient Native Hawaiian community high above Koele, is being revitalized through community stewardship that restores both the land and its living history.
August 2025 — Aunty Jo’s venison jerky recipe, passed down through four generations, reflects the spirit of Lānaʻi—family, tradition, and a deep connection to the land.
March 2025 – At Lāna‘i Culture & Heritage Center, there’s no better expression of our mission than through community-driven volunteer events. In 2024, our dedicated volunteers helped restore natural habitats, clean coastal areas and outplant native plants.
