Aloha. Welcome to the 2019 Native Hawaiian Survey*

The Native Hawaiian Survey is interested in understanding Hawaiian identity and community concerns from Hawaiians in their own words. Our goal was to survey 1000 Hawaiians across all the islands of Hawai‘i by the end of 2019. The survey is now closed. Mahalo for your assistance to this important study.

All knowledge is not learned in just one school.
One can learn from many sources.
*Acknowledgement of the Survey Name.
After receiving community feedback, we acknowledge that the term “Native Hawaiian” may not represent all individuals of Hawaiian descent. For some, this term is inaccurate, controversial, and political. As a result, we have minimized the use of this term in the survey itself. We encourage the community to take the survey and express your thoughts on this term. Mahalo for the feedback and contributing to the study.
