This project aims to leverage a comprehensive Mapping System for the Kiowa Tribe, facilitating informed land planning and development. By acquiring essential tools like a mapping plotter, computer, and hiring an ArcGIS Specialist, the Tribe can efficiently create, manage, and utilize accurate land ownership, enabling strategic growth, enhancing community welfare.

The project will increase knowledge of green energy initiatives in the region, provide educational opportunities for community members, and create local green job opportunities through our geothermal power plant project and solar energy installation workshops.

Tribal Conservation Toolbox Support

General Operating Support for Maui Wildfire Relief

This project will help to create food sovereignty through developing relationships with local farmers and ranchers. Leveraging the quality of fresh food available locally and to increasing the nutritional diversity to native families in the 6 counties we serve through the USDA LFPA grant program.

The project will increase the collective capacity of East Maui's Native Hawaiian communities to restore traditional ecological knowledge, centered on the pono (natural order) of our wahi kapu (sacred places) as defined in kumu kānāwai (natural laws revealed in traditional chants and stories)

The purpose of this continued support is to continue the climate/fire resiliency work we have begun on the Mesa Grande Indian Housing Authority (MGIHA) property. This work is important as it provides climate and fire mitigation for the community and tribal members.
