‘Āina Momona

Mission

ʻĀina Momona is a Native Hawaiian nonprofit dedicated to achieving environmental health and sustainability through restoring social justice and de-occupying Hawaiian lands.

Meaning “abundant land” in Hawaiian, ʻĀina Momona focuses on issues critical to the health and well-being of Hawaiʻi’s future. We envision an ecologically and politically sovereign Hawai‘i, where natural and cultural resources thrive under the care of a just, healthy, and sustainable population.

It is our wider aim to equip Native Hawaiian communities with the resources needed to be self-sufficient, sustainable, and resilient in the face of capitalism, colonialism, and the ongoing climate crisis.

Our team works to revitalize traditional food production practices from land to sea, while actively restoring eroded and degraded environments that are threatened by climate change. Our current goals and projects are centered on community-led traditional land restoration, erosion mitigation, and food system revitalization.
