ʻAha Pūnana Leo
Pilina First’s partners and associates have worked with ʻAha Pūnana Leo in varying capacities over the last 20+ years, advocating alongside and in support of its leadership to advance their vision of E Ola ka ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the Hawaiian Language Shall Live. Pilina First’s fluency in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi grounded in a fundamental understanding and working knowledge of the perspective and worldview grounded in the Hawaiian language and traditional knowledge has made for a longstanding and mutually beneficial partnership.
ʻAha Pūnana Leo has always strived to ensure that the Hawaiian Language lives. Rooted in our mission to drive and inspire change to ensure a living Hawaiian language in Hawaiʻi and beyond, our organization is dedicated to the people we serve. We span across 13 different locations throughout the Hawaiian islands and have three unique programs.
