E Ho‘okanaka is the training organization for Holomua Pu‘uhonua. The overarching goal of E Ho‘okanaka is to recognize, create and support community validated training programs that reconnect Native Hawaiians to traditional root culture values, practices and principles. Community research, collaboration, cooperation and participation are key activities that inform the development and validation of our work.
