Expressing support for the designation of February 2026 as "Hawaiian Language Month" or "'Olelo Hawai'i Month".

This symbolic resolution expresses congressional support for designating February 2026 as "Hawaiian Language Month" or "'Ōlelo Hawai'i Month." It urges the public to celebrate the language and commits to preserving Hawaiian language use in alignment with the Native American Languages Act. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal statement of support for ongoing revitalization efforts. It follows decades of grassroots work to restore the Hawaiian language, which saw over 20,000 speakers and expanded immersion education by 2026.
