This approach aims to preserve the integrity of the Native Hawaiian people while enhancing their capacity for community resilience. Waves wash over Kamehameha Highway along the North Shore, Oʻahu.
To support the lāhui (Native Hawaiian Community) in preparing Hawaiʻinuiākea (the Hawaiian archipelago) for enhanced response and resilience in the face of adverse weather impacts such as drought, wildfires, invasive species, storm-related flooding, tidal inundation, and coastal erosion, ONHR has established the Kapapahuliau Program.
The name "Kapapahuliau" evokes the imagery of a voyaging waʻa (canoe) and its crew navigating the changing winds and currents over time (au), adjusting their sails and course as needed while remaining focused on their destination. This concept embodies a process of learning and transformation, drawing on the ingenuity of Native Hawaiian ancestors in adapting to their environment.
Through this Program, ONHR aims to empower the Native Hawaiian Community to learn from these ancestral practices, take proactive measures against threats and hazards, adapt to evolving conditions, and rapidly recover from adverse environmental events and disruptions.

NTIA reopened tribal broadband funding with two NOFOs due September 17, 2026 — $540M in the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program Round 3 and $250M in the Native Entities Grant Program. This is the money that survived the Digital Equity Act cuts. Here is who is eligible, why the program pivoted from fiber to affordability, and how to align with BEAD to score higher.
Read articleThe Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund started at $1.5 billion for open RAN. Congress rescinded $850 million, NTIA canceled Round 3, and what remains is a $53 million final round pointed at AI-native radio access networks — with a $25 million per-project ceiling, a mandatory 50 percent cost share, and rolling awards beginning this fall.
Read articleA new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.
