The Co-Trustees of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument have released Mai Ka Pō Mai, a historic guidance document to help federal and state agencies further integrate Native Hawaiian culture into all areas of management.

Based on conceptual components of Hawaiian cosmology and worldview, Mai Ka Pō Mai articulates values and principles that align with Native Hawaiian culture and values, as well as the various federal and state agency mandates and missions. 

Developed through continuous and regular meetings with the Native Hawaiian community since 2010, Mai Ka Pō Mai will serve as the foundation for the update of the Monument Management Plan, which is currently underway. 

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs will be hosting a Mai Ka Pō Mai webinar on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at 12 pm HST. The public is invited to tune in via Zoom at www.oha.org/webinar or via the OHA Facebook page for insights on how Hawaiian culture is being integrated into the management of Papahānaumokuākea.
