Helu Kanaka

Helu Kanaka is a team consisting of Leinani Roylo, Koloikeao Anthony and Connor Kalāhiki, Native Hawaiian youth hailing from the island of Oʻahu. They all firmly believe in the necessity of civic engagement as a means of actualizing social justice.

What advice would you give to youth who are looking to be active in their communities?

“A Native Hawaiian proverb reads: “E nānā i ke kumu” or look to the source. Youth should seek out resources that will help connect them with efforts of which they want to become a part.“
