ʻĀina is no small legacy.
COMMUNITY-LED, COMMUNITY DRIVEN LAND BACK MISSION
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
What is the Molokai Heritage Trust?
The Molokai Heritage Trust is not a new idea. It is as old as the first prayer uttered to protect Molokai. The Trust’s purpose is to help our people achieve what this island has called on us to do for generations—mālama this land and its people to create ʻāina momona. We exist as we are because kūpuna both living and passed protected this ʻāina and our ways. They acted with intentionality so that we could enjoy it as they did. Today we are taking our place in this legacy of aloha ʻāina by organizing to buy back Molokai Ranch and other lands on Molokai to keep Molokaʻi, Molokaʻi forever.
