Hawaiian History Month
INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAI‘I
September 2025 marks Hawaiʻi’s first-ever official Hawaiian History Month, to honor the legacy of Queen Liliʻuokalani and recognize the lasting contributions of Native Hawaiians. The month had been celebrated before, but this year the Legislature passed a bill which was later signed into law by the governor making it official. Advocates say this recognition is long overdue.
