Current Community Service Project
CNHA is partnering with the Bishop Museum to implement the Education through Cultural and Historical Organizations (ECHO) project. The ECHO mission authorizes innovative, culturally based educational programs, cultural exchanges, and internship & apprenticeship programs for Native and non-Native communities, as well as cultural institutions in Alaska, Hawai`i, Massachusetts, and Mississippi. These four regions are linked by shared historical experiences and traditions arising from profound changes to cultural and natural environments. To learn more about the ECHO project, click here.
