Moku o Manokalanipō, the Kauaʻi Council of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs

Welina me ke aloha mai ka moku o Manokalanipō!

In 1968, the Hawaiian Civic Clubs on the island of Kauaʻi organized Moku o Manokalanipō, the Kauaʻi Council of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. Manokalanipō currently has jurisdiction over the Hawaiian civic clubs chartered on the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau.

The purposes of this organization are:
A.  To provide guidance to and assist in, the activities of the chartered Hawaiian Civic Clubs of Manokalanipō;
B.  To act as a liason between the Board of Directors of the AHCC and the Hawaiian civic clubs on the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau;
C.  To have and exercise all rights and powers conferred by the AHCC Board of  Directors;
D.  To advocate positions adopted by the Annual Convention, or as approved by Manokalanipō.

2023 Kauaʻi Council Update

Mahalo nui to the ʻAhahui Sīwila Hawaiʻi for providing support for our Eō Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole Project for events to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Prince Kūhiō Kalaniana’ole. One of the project activities supported the participation of Kauaʻi Council in the Prince Kuhio events (Parade, Hō’ike’ike, Ali’i Sunday, Mauna’ala) on O’ahu and to network with other members of the AOHCC and the larger community. At the parade in Kapolei we assisted the AOHCC by fulfilling an interview request with the media team during the event with Kamaka Pili. The link for the interview is available on YouTube at- https://youtu.be/beUZa3Dsw58 After the parade we assisted with sharing information about the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs at Ka Makana Aliʻi. Mahalo nui to Pelekikena Dre Kalili for designing the poster boards that provided more information about the AOHCC to the general community. Kauaʻi Council also participated in the Aliʻi Sunday program at Kawaiahaʻo Church in honor of Prince Kūhiō along with many of the other AOHCC members and Royal Societies which was followed by hoʻokupu at Maunaʻala.

Another project activity included a virtual webinar in honor of Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole that was moderated by Kauaʻi Council President and the invited speakers included Dre Kalili, Sammie Choy, and Kawelau Wright. The webinar is available online on the AOHCC FaceBook page.

Prince Kūhiō Events on Kauaʻi Kauaʻi Council also participated in the Prince Kūhiō event hosted by the Royal Order in Koloa, Kauaʻi at the Prince Kūhiō Park alongside many of the other Royal Societies. Mahalo nui to ʻAhahui Kiwila Hawaiʻi o Mōʻīkeha and Queen Deborah Kapule HCC.

We look forward to hosting the Living History of Prince Kūhiō Play on Kauaʻi in March 2024 and we invite all to come and join us.

On behalf of our Kauaʻi Council and our larger community we also send our aloha to our ʻohana on Maui and we continue to say pule for the healing of ʻāina as well as all of the ʻohana and community. #MauiStrong
