Ramiro Leon of Riverside, California likes to visit Hawaii a couple times a year, but he hadn’t really learned much about Native Hawaiian culture until a trip with Hoʻomau Oʻahu Tours, a Native Hawaiian-owned company whose mission is to “cultivate, educate, and perpetuate our history and culture to all who inhabit and visit these islands.”

What does Hoʻomau mean?

The Hawaiian word "hoʻomau" means "to continue, persist, persevere or perpetuate. It signifies a spirit of persistence, resilience, and determination to continue moving forward despite challenges.
