== Native Hawaiian Community in Nānakuli == [[File:Kalanihookaha Community Learning Center on the Waianae coast of Oahu, Hawaii.jpg|thumb|The Kalanihookaha Community Learning Center in Nānākuli is part of Kamehameha Schools.]] Nānākuli is home to one of the oldest [[Hawaiian home land|Hawaiian Home Land Divisions]] established through the [[Native Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921]], promoted by Prince [[Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole]].<ref name="ReferenceA">A BROKEN TRUST, The Hawaiian Homelands Program, Hawaii Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights</ref> The presence of [[Department of hawaiian home lands|DHHL]] (Department of Hawaiian Home Lands) has heavily influenced the Nānākuli community. Uniquely in the state of [[Hawaii|Hawaiʻi]] and for the last 50 years, three Nānākuli public schools have campuses located on Hawaiian Home Lands. These are [[Nanakuli High and Intermediate School|Nānākuli High and Intermediate]], Nānā I Ka Pono, and Nānākuli Elementary.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Within the last two decades, [[Native Hawaiians|Native Hawaiian]] based learning has been offered for students of the valley; at Nānākuli Elementary, kids can join a [[Hawaiian language]] immersion program (Kula Kai O Puni). Aside from the [[Hawaii State Department of Education|Department Of Education]], there also exists "Ka Waihona O Ka Naʻauao Hawaiian Public Charter School". In recent years, the neighborhood board acknowledged the long-standing history of the valley and DHHL by renaming Nānākuli Beach Park after Kalaniʻanaole.<ref>NA MAKAMAKA O NANAKULI, Ronald Gallimore and Alan Howard, Bishop Museum, December 1991</ref> Some other Native Hawaiian organizations that have reached out to this community are the [[Liliʻuokalani Trust]] (Formerly known as the [[Liliʻuokalani|Queen Liʻliʻuokalani]] Children's Center, The Office Of Hawaiian Affairs, and [[Kamehameha Schools]]). Only 3,970 reported residents identify with having some sort of Hawaiian ancestry out of the approximate population of 12,000. In April 2021, Kamehameha Schools opened the Kalanihookaha Community Learning Center in Nānākuli.<ref>{{cite web |date=April 28, 2021 |title=Kamehameha Schools Celebrates Opening of Kalanihookaha Community Learning Center |url=https://mauinow.com/2021/04/28/kamehameha-schools-celebrates-opening-of-kalanihookaha-community-learning-center/ |access-date=January 10, 2023 |website=Maui Now}}</ref>
