Knowledge about the customs, traditions, and cultural practices derives not only from formal research and investigations but also from our dealings and relationships with many people and organizations in the Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. One of the company's main objectives is stewardship of native Hawaiian and other Pacific Island cultural resources and ensuring such resources will be available for future generations. -3 -
