Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum's Outreach Initiative

Celebrating Hawaiian Heritage Far and Wide

The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, renowned for its dedication to the preservation and celebration of Hawaiian culture and history, is proud to extend its reach beyond the shores of Hawaii. Through a series of engaging and educational events across the mainland, we aim to share the rich tapestry of Hawaiian heritage with a broader audience.

Why We Reach Out
Our outreach initiative is rooted in a deep commitment to:

Educating and Inspiring: We believe in the power of knowledge and inspiration that comes from understanding Hawaiʻi’s unique culture and history. By participating in events across the mainland, we bring a piece of Hawaiʻi to new communities, fostering a greater appreciation and understanding of our rich heritage.
Building Bridges: Our presence in mainland events helps bridge the geographical gap, connecting people from diverse backgrounds to the Hawaiian culture. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the shared values and experiences that unite us all.
Preserving and Sharing Traditions: As custodians of Hawaiian culture, we see it as our kuleana (responsibility) to share and preserve our traditions. Through interactive experiences like information tables at various events, we offer a window into the Hawaiian way of life.
