H.Res. 787 is a congressional resolution expressing support for designating September 2025 as "Hawaiian History Month" to recognize Native Hawaiian history, culture, and contributions to the United States. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but rather reaffirms Congress's acknowledgment of the federal trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian community and recognizes their achievements in education, government service, military service, and cultural preservation. The resolution specifically references the 1993 apology for the unlawful overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and highlights individual Native Hawaiians who have made significant contributions across fields ranging from scholarship and music to Olympic achievement and military service. The resolution encourages federal agencies, educational institutions, and civil society to observe the month with appropriate programs and educational activities to promote awareness and reconciliation.
