The land is chief; man is its servant.

Our ‘Āina (Land)

We believe the well-being of our lāhui (Native Hawaiian people) is directly related to the health and condition of the ‘āina. We steward the ‘āina so that it continues to provide the physical, spiritual, and cultural connections that are inherent to Native Hawaiian identity. Endowment real estate lands make up 3% of total acreage (363,852). Agricultural and conservation land comprise 97% and are primarily considered sustainability assets, not included in the Endowment.
