Purpose and Objectives
To address and support the needs and concerns of the Native Hawaiian communities in the eastern most deserts of Southern California in the area of health and welfare, community advocacy, leadership development, socio-economic sustainability and to participate in activities which promote the civic life of the community. Panoa, as the organization is so lovingly referred to, is committed to uniting our members and the community-at-large in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship, mutual understanding and to preserving the cultural traditions of the Native Hawaiian people living on the continental United States and Alaska.
Kaha I Ka Panoa Kaleponi Hawaiian Civic Club 2012
by Sharon Ku'uipo Kana'e-Paulo
One of five clubs that launched the KAKAU INOA Native Hawaiian Registry project to enroll Native Hawaiians living outside of the State of Hawai'i. Conducted registrations at Aloha Expo in the city of Santa Fe Springs and also at the 34th Annual Ho'olaule'a in the city of Lawndale and just finished a successful 3rd Annual Inland Empire Ho'olaule'a in the city of Beaumont, California. Will be travelling to Napa, California next month do continue the registration process and was contacted by Native Hawaiians who are interested in forming a civic club in Coachella Valley, just east of Palm Springs, California.
