Expressing support for the designation of September 2025 as "Hawaiian History Month" to recognize the history, culture and contributions of Native Hawaiians and reaffirm the United States Federal trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian community to support their well-being.
Summary
H.Res. 787 is a non-binding resolution that would express congressional support for designating September 2025 as Hawaiian History Month. The resolution aims to recognize the history, culture, and contributions of Native Hawaiians to the United States. It also seeks to reaffirm the federal government's trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian community and support their well-being.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. If passed, it would serve as a symbolic statement of congressional recognition rather than creating any enforceable requirements or programs. The resolution was introduced by Representative Jill N. Tokuda (D-HI) in October 2025 and is currently under committee consideration.
