A resolution designating September 2026 as "Hawaiian History Month" to recognize the history, culture, and contributions of Native Hawaiians and reaffirm the United States Federal trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian Community to support their well-being.

This Senate resolution would designate September 2026 as "Hawaiian History Month." It would honor the history, culture, and contributions of Native Hawaiians and recognize the importance of Public Law 103-150, the 1993 law about the 1893 overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai`i, along with ongoing reconciliation efforts, including consultation. It would encourage federal agencies, schools, and community groups to hold programs, ceremonies, and educational activities during the month. It would also call on federal agencies to promote programs Congress created under its political and trust relationship with the Native Hawaiian Community.
