Grant Overview
Hawaii's cultural landmarks, including temples and historic structures, are facing significant challenges due to natural disasters, climate change, and human impact. Many of these sites, particularly those on the islands of Maui and Kauai, are at risk of erosion and damage. Who faces this challenge locally? Native Hawaiian cultural organizations and local governments are struggling to preserve these sites, with limited resources and capacity. For example, a recent study found that over 50% of Hawaii's cultural landmarks are at risk due to sea level rise and storm damage. How does the Hawaii's Cultural Landmarks Restoration initiative address this challenge? The initiative provides funding for preservation and restoration work, as well as capacity-building for local cultural organizations. The funding prioritizes sites that are significant to Native Hawaiian history and culture, including those related to traditional spiritual practices. Unlike neighboring Alaska, Hawaii's program focuses specifically on sites that are vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters. ## Preserving Hawaii's Cultural Heritage ## The initiative's funding will focus on preserving Hawaii's cultural landmarks, including temples and historic structures vital to Indigenous history. Collaborating with local cultural organizations, this initiative will address the risk of erasure of traditional narratives while enhancing public education about Hawaiian heritage. Key geographic areas of focus include the island of Hawaii, where historic sites related to Native Hawaiian history are located, and the island of Oahu, where cultural landmarks are significant to the state's cultural identity. ## Readiness Requirements for Hawaii's Cultural Landmarks ## The program requires applicants to demonstrate how their project will address the state's preservation priorities and readiness requirements, including the development of a preservation plan and demonstration of community support.
