KALO Hawaiian Civic Club

Established in 2019, Ka ʻAha Lāhui O ʻOlekona Hawaiian Civic Club of Oregon & SW Washington, or KALO HCC, is a 501(c)3 organization that works to bring awareness to the importance of kalo (taro) and Hāloa (first Hawaiian) in remembrance of our Native Hawaiian communities back home and on the continent – thus, creating an opportunity to reindigenize and reconnect our lāhui (people) to the ʻāina (land) and moʻomēheu (cultural identity and values). 

In 2019, KALO HCC was chartered by the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, whom was founded by Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole in 1918. Also chartered by the AOHCC, Na Lei Makalapua (Mainland Council) received jurisdiction over the Hawaiian Civic Clubs recognized in the Continental U.S. and Alaska.
