His legacy will persist through his works and contributions to Hawai’i — we as a people have been truly blessed to have a person like him generously share his passion and mana’o.

“Herb Kane helped the world recognize the history and culture of the Native Hawaiian people through his art. He showed ancient Hawaiians as they were: explorers, seafarers, trailblazers in land and resource management. His beautiful portraits displayed on stamps, in National Parks, and in museums continue to inspire people around the world.”
