PŪKO’A HISTORY During 2001, Native Hawaiians at the Mānoa campus formed the Kūaliʻi Council, inviting all Hawaiians and Hawaiian serving programs to unite for greater advocacy for Native Hawns at UH Mānoa. In January 2002, Kūaliʻi hosted a System wide retreat and the Pūkoʻa UH System Native Hawaiian Advisory Council was formed.

12. KŪALIʻI & PŪKO’A COUNCILS Since the Kūaliʻi Council is at UH Mānoa and meets monthly, it does a lot of work in support of Pūkoʻa, both at the flagship campus and at the legislature Also, since Kūaliʻi serves 20 different Programs, as well as 28% of all Native Hawaiian students in the UH system, it has a larger budget request
