Hawaii
Community meetings, gatherings, classes and celebrations, and the organizations behind them, all in one place so you can find your community.
Hawaii is counted differently from the other states. The U.S. Census counts Native Hawaiians in their own category, separate from American Indians and Alaska Natives, so this page shows both. The Native Hawaiian count comes from the State of Hawaii's 2020 Census report. The Native American count and its rank use the same method as every state page. There are no federally or state-recognized Native Hawaiian tribes; state agencies, trusts and community organizations serve Native Hawaiians instead.
