Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā
    celebrates 63 years... 
     “to guard the kapu of Kūkaniloko because we love them for all time…”    

 Donate to Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawa - Kukaniloko

​Aloha nō... The Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā celebrates 63 years in 2023! We respectfully acknowledge those kanaka mauli who have maintained and cared for Kūkaniloko Birth Site for the past 98 years - nearly a century. Wahiawā families, early in 1925, worked alongside the Daughters of Hawai`i to mālama Kūkaniloko.  On February 19, 1934, Waialua Hawaiian Civic Club was organized - 89 years ago.  On June 15, 1935, Wahiawā Hawaiian Civic Club was organized - 88 years ago.  Waialua-Wahiawā Hawaiian Civic Club (W-WHCC) functioned as one for 25 years.  Together, our sister communities cared for and protected all ancestral places within our Moku o Waialua.  The privilege of care for wahi kapu o Kūkaniloko was later officially passed on to W-WHCC by the Daughters of Hawai`i in 1950.  At the first Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs April 18, 1959 Convention, both clubs registered as one for the first, and the last time. Reorganization, established the Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā on November 10, 1960  to specifically maintain Kūkaniloko Birth Site, share her moʻolelo, and to preserve all things Hawaiian – seen and unseen.  Mahalo nūnui to our kūpuna mā... Our perpetual maintenance and care of Kapuahuawa Kūkaniloko continues...   Me kealoha pumehana a pauloa.... 

 ...the past is always present, therefore, ALOHA is forever...and FOREVER is the old way of our ancients. 


                                                 
                              Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiaw
ā 

We, the people of Hawaiian Ancestry, do have certain moral, social, civic, and educational responsibilities within our communities which we must uphold, as a club and as an individual; we must promote goodwill and understanding among our own people without prejudice and discrimination; and we work for the good of all.
