Well-considered strategies lead to positive options and outcomes

— -J: _ Konane is a unique Hawaiian game that trains players to achieve success. In playing this traditional game, the object is I* not to "eat" as many of your opponent's 'ili'ili (pebbles) as possible. Instead the goal is to create and keep open options for you to move on the board — an array of opportunities for success. 'Ili'ili can continually move along their paths if those actions have been well-planned. This takes foresight to imagine the impact of cumulative steps in a long-term strategy and a collaborative mindset that engages each 'ili'ili in a contributing role in the process. OHA applies such traditional standards by focusing our efforts and resources on our strategic plan's priorities and results, facilitating collaboration among numerous entities in our communities, and implementing innovative approaches to achieve Native Hawaiian well-being.
