Virtual Briefing 
Celebrating Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi
12pm HST


On the first day of Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language Month), the U.S. Department of the Interior released new guidance to honor and elevate Hawaiian language. Developed collaboratively and informed by ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi practitioners, instructors and advocates, the guidance emerged from virtual consultation sessions and public comment in 2023 with the Native Hawaiian community.
Please join the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders on February 21 for a celebration of Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and a virtual briefing on the guidance, hosted in collaboration with the U.S. Department of the Interior.
