Designates February 2025 as “Hawaiian Language Month” (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi Month) and encourages people and organizations across the United States to celebrate, preserve, protect, and promote the Hawaiian language through appropriate activities and programs. The resolution affirms support for language revitalization efforts and connects that support to broader U.S. policy on Native languages.
The measure is a non‑binding, symbolic statement that recounts the historical suppression of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, highlights grassroots revitalization efforts beginning in the 1960s, and references recent federal attention to Native language preservation. It does not authorize spending or impose requirements on state or local governments.
