2025 Native Hawaiian Convention
We are excited to announce that the 2025 Native Hawaiian Convention will take place on the ʻāina of the Tulalip Tribes. Join us for this three-day celebration of Hawaiian cultural exchange, connection, and enrichment at the Tulalip Resort Casino. This year we are gathering on the continent in Washington State–no ka lāhui–for the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement's annual signature event!
WHAT IS IT? For over two decades, the Native Hawaiian Convention has served as one of the largest gatherings of Native Hawaiians to discuss hot topic issues, systemic solutions, and moving forward within our community. This three-day event will feature discussions and workshops on cultural perpetuation, housing, education, self-determination, and how to stay connected as a lāhui.
WHEN: October 7-9, 2025
WHERE: Tulalip Resort & Casino, 10200 Quil Ceda Blvd, Tulalip, WA 98271
REGISTRATION: Opens March 1, 2025
The Tulalip Tribes is a federally-recognized Indian tribe located on the Tulalip Reservation. The Tulalip Reservation exterior boundaries enclose a land-base of 22,000 acres, more than 50 percent of which is in federal trust status. It was created to provide a permanent home for the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skagit, Suiattle, Samish and Stillaguamish Tribes and allied bands living in the region.
