Our stories

Kaheāwai Media collaborates with kiaʻi — those leading aloha ʻāina and collective liberation movements across Hawaiʻi — to create journalism rooted in relationships, place, and action.

We believe journalism should center pilina with ʻāina and community, not clicks and conflict.

how

We’re designing Kaheāwai Media to be accountable to ʻāina and community first, not investors.

Our community-guided storytelling projects equip people to take action and change systems.

Our work is collectively stewarded by kiaʻi who uplift aloha ʻāina and collective liberation.
