The Hawai`i Council for the Humanities Grants Program is now open.
Since 1972, Hawai?i Council for the Humanities’ Grants Program has been supporting projects that strengthen our history, culture, and other humanities in Hawai‘i. Our grantees create innovative community programs and archives that allow us to dive deeply into important issues, learn more about who we are, and connect with new ideas and new perspectives. In these times, the humanities help to center us and expand our hearts and minds for the rebuilding ahead. We can’t wait to hear from you.

Weaving Voices: Stopped the Bombing 30th Anniversary Kahoolawe Aloha Aina
On October 22, 1990, President George H.W. Bush ordered the Secretary of Defense to stop bombing Kaho?olawe. Join us to remember and celebrate this 30th anniversary. In this event, first-generation oral histories will weave together with rising generation perspectives.
Together we reflect on the Aloha ??ina movement that mobilized thousands across the islands to stop the bombing of Kanaloa Kaho?olawe, sparked a renaissance of Hawaiian culture, language, arts and sciences, and continues to protect sacred Hawaiian lands.

November Art & Culture Events

Saturday, November 7, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm HST
Women and the American Story Teacher Workshop
“Women’s history is American history,” but these stories have often been left out. Special guest The New York Historical Society will showcase their exciting educational initiative, Women & the American Story.

This teacher workshop will be focusing on two time periods: 1692-1783 and 1920-1948—time spans that are critical to contextualizing the ways women’s roles have evolved American society. The former era saw the founding of the United States, while the latter includes moments, such as when “women” gained the right to vote, we survived The Great Depression and World War II, we lived under Jim Crow segregation, and we witnessed the start of the Cold War.
