About the Native Hawaiian Convention:

The Native Hawaiian Convention returns to the continent, at Tulalip Resort & Casino, Tulalip, Washington

For two decades, the Native Hawaiian Convention has served as the largest gathering of Native Hawaiians to discuss issues facing our community. It’s only fitting that we take convention to the continental United States now that the amount of Native Hawaiians living there has surpassed the number residing in our ancestral homeland. This convention will serve as an opportunity to re-connect with our ‘ohana who have left the islands; share our stories, successes and struggles; and chart a course forward towards our common goals for our community.

The convention will bring Native Hawaiian practitioners, educators, entrepreneurs, healthcare and housing providers, elders, artisans, entertainers and the youth together in Tulalip, Washington, the State with the  highest Native Hawaiian population in the country.
