More about us

As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the incredible support that has helped us preserve and share Lāna‘i’s rich history and culture. From ʻāina-based education for students to stewardship days, cultural workshops, and archive projects, everything we do is rooted in aloha for our island and its people. Mahalo for being part of our journey! Here’s to continuing our mission together in the new year. ✨

Most folks have heard of Shipwreck beach, but did you know the traditional name of this beach is actually Kaiolohia? Help us honor these Lānaʻi wahi pana by calling Kaiolohia by its proper name and learning the rich history of this place.

If you have found value in the ʻike we share around Lānaʻi culture and history, follow us for more and consider supporting our non-profit through an end-of-year, tax-deductible donation.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Lānaʻi Culture & Heritage Center 🎄✨

As we celebrate this season of joy and gratitude, we want to thank you for being part of our journey and supporting our mission. Your kindness and dedication make all the difference in helping us serve the Lānaʻi community and protect what we cherish most. Here’s to a season filled with love, laughter, and aloha!

Happy Sakada Day!

The first Filipinos to arrive on Lānaʻi came in 1923 via other Hawai’i plantations as workers. In 1946, the last major immigration of Filipinos during this time came to Hawai‘i on the S.S. Maunawili . This is generally what they call the Sakada, and a number of Filipino families on Lāna‘i descend from this period. On Lānaʻi, the Sakadas contributed not only to the island’s economy but also to its vibrant cultural diversity, blending their traditions with those of other immigrant groups.

Did you know about the 201-day plantation strike? During the 1951 strike, our Lānaʻi community worked together to support one another, including through fishing, gardening, and hunting. By the end of the strike, workers won the right to purchase their homes and better wages.

Lānaʻi people who came before us laid the foundation for our community. Let us strive to learn from their strength, resilience, and commitment to Lānaʻi.

During the pineapple plantation era, Japanese families made the courageous journey to Lānaʻi, bringing their traditions, hard work, and resilience to shape the island’s history. Their legacy lives on in the stories, culture, and community they helped build.

Watch more oral history videos of Japanese and Filipino elders, and Hawaiian kūpuna share what it was like growing up and moving to Lānaʻi on our YouTube channel. If you want to kōkua in helping us preserve these stories and the legacy of Lānaʻi, consider donating to support the work we do. All links in bio!

In October, our Lānaʻi CHC team hosted an interactive booth at a STEAM Night conducted by LHES Foundation for keiki.

Students engaged in hands-on learning, including observing different types of limu under magnifying glasses and microscopes. They also collaborated to illustrate a healthy, diverse reef ecosystem. Experiences like this help equip students with valuable skills, empowering them to become the next generation of leaders and ʻāina stewards.

Please consider making an end of year donation to support our keiki educational programs! Link in bio!

Waiaʻōpae is a loko iʻa on our eastern shores that once served as a sustainable source of food for many Hawaiians who resided on Lānaʻi. It is our hope that restoring the loko i‘a and the uplands above it is more than preserving history—it’s about supporting native biodiversity, fostering food security, and passing on lessons of balance and sustainability to future generations.

Join us this Saturday as we aloha ʻāina, conducting shoreline stewardship, marine debris cleanup, and removing kiawe around the camp area at Waiaʻōpae. Sign up via the link in bio!
