  • Increase cancer awareness among Native Hawaiians

  • Establish research protocols that are respectful of Native Hawaiian cultural belief and customs

The ‘Imi Hale project seeks to launch culturally appropriate research activities aimed at all aspects of Native Hawaiian cancer issues.

‘Imi Hale’s logo is Halehuki (circa 1940) in Hilo, Hawai'i, which was the family home of Hawaiian composer Helen Desha Beamer.  It was a gathering place for family, friendship, and music.
