Hawaii

Hawaii has no federally or state recognized tribes. According to 2020 U.S. Census data, Native Hawaiians and other Native peoples in Hawaii represent 30% of the total population of Hawaii. In order to achieve parity in political representation, we need to elect 31 Native leaders to office at all levels across the state.

This is a work in progress, as Native peoples are often left out of demographic data and research. If you are a Native elected or appointed official, please fill out this form so that we can make sure you are included in our data.
