Expressing support for the designation of September 2025 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 resolution expresses congressional support for designating September 2025 as "Hawaiian History Month." It recognizes the history, culture, and contributions of Native Hawaiians to Hawaii, the U.S., and globally, while reaffirming the U.S. Federal trust relationship with Native Hawaiians. The bill does not create new laws or funding but encourages federal agencies, schools, and communities to observe the month through educational programs. It specifically references historical milestones like Public Law 103-150 (1993) acknowledging the 1893 overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. As a symbolic resolution, it has no legal force but aims to promote awareness of Native Hawaiian heritage.
