Hawaiian Convention

Here are the works of my two new favorite Hawaiian artists along w/ my dear friend, Ipo Nihipali's AWESOME and MANA-FULL painting of Waimea Valley.

Ipo Nihihapali's MANAFULL painting of Waimea Valley

The 8th Annual Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA) held their conference at the Hawai'i Convention Center. Many prominent Hawaiian leaders and workers were there along with Alaska Native and other Native American leaders to share and brainstorm ideas to advance the Hawaiian social, economic, political and cultural agenda. Representatives from the Obama administration were also there. Artists put on the Maoli Arts exhibition in a large convention room. Awesome.
