A resolution expressing support for the designation of September 2025 as "Hawaiian History Month" to recognize the history, culture and contributions of Native Hawaiians and reaffirm the United States Federal trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian Community to support their well-being.

This is a non-binding Senate resolution (S. Res. 419) introduced in the 119th Congress, sponsored by Sen. Schatz (joined by Sen. Hirono). It expresses support for designating September 2025 as “Hawaiian History Month” to recognize the history, culture, and contributions of Native Hawaiians and to reaffirm the United States Federal trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian Community in support of their well-being. The resolution is largely ceremonial, urging federal agencies, educational institutions, and civil society to observe the month with programs and education, and it references past U.S. acknowledgement of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the ongoing reconciliation process. The document highlights Native Hawaiians’ historical contributions, legacy, and resilience, cites Public Law 103-150 (the 1993 apology and acknowledgment of the overthrow), and underscores the importance of language and cultural revitalization. While it frames the issue in terms of a trust responsibility and reconciliation, the resolution itself does not create new law or funding; its impact is primarily symbolic and informational, aimed at encouraging observance and public education.
