About Imi Pono Projects

'Imi Pono Projects explores issues confronting justice and our national identity. Recognizing Hawai'i kingdom history, the coup by the Republic, the deception of annexation, as well as the ongoing controversy of Hawaii's Statehood, 'Imi Pono Projects aims to present cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary dialogue with the people and communities determining the future of Hawai'i.

Our mission is to promote dialogue and strategies of engagement surrounding Hawaii's broader political environment, which includes primary independent research, media content and education efforts.

While Hawaii's scholars and activists continue challenging institutional policy discriminating upon national justice issues, 'Imi Pono Projects will continue to engage the wider public of this ongoing controversy.
