Ka Wai Ola
Hawaiʻi state-agency publication (Native Hawaiian advocacy perspective)
Ka Wai Ola is the monthly newspaper of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, a Hawaiʻi state agency, so it is institutional communication rather than independent journalism. It focuses on Native Hawaiian issues, OHA programs and board actions, culture, and language, and it presents them from a Native Hawaiian advocacy viewpoint. It rarely covers the Trump administration directly. When federal policy affects Native Hawaiians, the coverage is mostly informational, though it can lean critical on specific policy impacts. This stance is a general characterization, not based on a full review of recent issues.
Owned byPublished by the Office of Hawaiʻi Affairs (OHA), a semi-autonomous state agency governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees elected statewide by Hawaiʻi voters. (Correction: the agency is the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.)
