NOHOPAPA

Established in 2013, Nohopapa Hawaiʻi is a Native Hawaiian owned and operated cultural resource management firm. Nohopapa Hawaiʻi's experience, passion, commitment, and motivation to document and honor Hawaiʻi's wahi kūpuna extends over 20 years. Our platform is to increase awareness of our collective responsibility to document, preserve, and protect knowledge concerning historic properties and cultural resources. We research and gather this knowledge through integrated approaches rooted in historical land research and cultural understanding of place... The negative space creates the inverse image and layered meaning of the binding that occurs through wedges (pewa) across temporal dimensions of past, present, future. Balancing cultural integrity and modernity are central themes in the services we provide. This unique logo demonstrates how we integrate the strengths of both the traditional Hawaiian and modern Western knowledge systems to bear on the work we do.
