Land Acknowledgement

 On behalf of Mahilani Partners LLC and its subsidiaries, we offer this land acknowledgment, acknowledging that the ‘āina (land) on which we operate, Pu’u’eo, is part of the larger territory recognized by Indigenous Hawaiians as their ancestral grandmother, Papahānaumoku.

We recognize that her Majesty Queen Lili‘uokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom and these territories under duress and protest to the United States to avoid the bloodshed of her people, who are recognized in the Kingdom’s law and today as Kānaka Maoli. We further recognize that generations of indigenous Hawaiians and their knowledge systems shaped Hawai‘i in a sustainable way, that allows us to enjoy her gifts today. We further recognize that Hawai‘i remains an illegally occupied state of America.

For this we are grateful and as a business operating in this ‘āina, we recognize our kuleana – both our responsibilities as well as our privileges – to care for this ‘āina for the many generations yet to come.
