Weaving a space of kākoʻo
Where Innovation and collaboration meet
We are inspired by the moʻolelo of Hiʻiakaʻs victory and aim to help it live on in Hālau ʻĪnana. This is the place to cultivate mana, wisdom, and confidence in our own capabilities, as well as a place to build pilina for the lāhui.
A Community-Serving Space
If your organization or event is committed to Aloha ʻĀina and aligns with the following outcomes, we welcome you to utilize our space at no cost.
Kaiāulu
ʻĀina
ʻIke Kūpuna
Learning opportunities that empower kānaka learners to recognize and apply ʻike kūpuna, shaping their identity and strengthening their connection to ka lāhui Hawaiʻi across generations.
Hālau ʻĪnana is currently home to the Purple Maiʻa Foundation. Purple Maiʻa is a native tech non-profit with the mission to educate and empower the next generation of culturally grounded, community serving technology makers and problem solvers.

Nā Hoa Hana Program
Nā hoa hana, or “Friends in the work” is a program that cultivates the symbiotic relationship that every environment needs in order to prosper. This program is for those who need a reoccurring meeting place to hoʻōlapa or to launch their goals into reality. If accepted, you will be able to reserve the Hālau for a discounted or waived rate in exchange for collaborating with/providing a hoʻokupu (gift: can be a skill, trade, or service) to Purple Maiʻa. We understand that everyone has unique gifts and needs, please apply to get into contact to see if this is right for you.
