Kapolei-based nonprofit Hawaii Maoli recently hosted its fifth annual Ka Mana O ke Kanaka Awards, and this year’s winners are Herb Lee, Jr., Pacific American Foundation executive director and community leader; Adm. Robert Kihune, a U.S. Navy retired business leader and former Kamehameha Schools trustee; and Paulette Kahalepuna, a cultural practitioner.<\/p>\n

The award is granted to those who exemplify “the spirit of the Hawaiian.”<\/p>\n

The ceremony was held Aug. 16 at Ihilani JW Marriott at Ko Olina. In honor of their achievement, state Sen. Mike Gabbard presented each of the award recipients with a honorary certificate from the state Legislature.<\/p>\n

Established in 1997 by members of the Asso-ciation of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, Hawaii Maoli aims to promote social and economic self-sufficiency for native Hawaiian groups through educational programs, preserving Hawaiian traditions, customs, history and language, and creating economic development opportunities.<\/p>\n

It also conducts research and designs projects for the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs.<\/p>\n
