'Ike Mo'olelo 'O Hawai'i Foundation

E ho'omau i ka mo'omeheu Hawai'i

To persist in the footprints (path) of our Hawaiian ancestors.

'Ike Mo'olelo 'O Hawai'i Foundation (IMOHF) is dedicated to providing opportunities to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture, values, and spirit of aloha, by promoting an understanding of our historical and cultural heritage.  Through its history, we learn about the ways of the early Hawaiians and their influence on its people, and of other cultures that influence Hawai'i, the Pacific Rim Melting Pot model of today. That sharing of such traditional Hawaiian values, such as respect, caring and responsibility is disseminated through the general community by utilizing cultural workshops, and public performances demonstrating our art form in hula, music, language and arts.  The Foundation promotes the ability for many cultures to live together, in harmony celebrating each other’s diversity.
