This month, the IAM proudly commemorates Hawaiian History Month, an annual celebration that spotlights Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, Queen Lili’uokalani, and the invaluable cultural heritage of the Hawaiian people.
IAM members have come forward to share their perspectives on the importance of this celebration, reflecting a collective understanding and appreciation for Hawaiian history and culture.
IAM Union’s dedication to this significant month stems from a profound respect and admiration for the Hawaiian community’s historical and ongoing contributions to the union’s diverse tapestry.
“Celebrating Hawaiian History Month isn’t just about acknowledging the past; it’s about weaving the rich cultural narratives of the Hawaiian people into our union’s future,” stated IAM Human Rights Director Nicole Fears.
This year’s celebration focused on Queen Liliʻuokalani, a figure of immense historical importance and a symbol of resilience and leadership in the face of adversity.
“By learning and celebrating the rich heritage of the Hawaiian people, we strengthen the bonds of solidarity within our union and with communities everywhere,” said Fears.
