Native Hawaiian convention set to be held in Vegas
The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement is preparing to host its first out-of-state Western Regional Native Hawaiian Convention from June 19 to 22 in the city commonly known as “The Ninth Island.”
The convention’s location in Las Vegas is apt, as the area has become a magnet for Native Hawaiians and other island expats. In fact, Las Vegas has the third- highest population of Native Hawaiians among U.S. metropolitan areas, behind urban Honolulu and Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2021 American Community Survey.
