Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage: A Celebration of Journeys and Connections
Heritage is more than just a rich history. It is also found in the purposeful ways we reach back to the roots that ground us. As we welcome the month of May, let's celebrate the cultures and legacies of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Whether you share an ancestry or simply share a love for the vibrant people and culture, join us as we celebrate the makers, products, and traditions that define the AAPI experience. Β AAPI Heritage Month: A Celebration of the Many Voices and Hands From tropical shores to bustling cityscapes, the AAPI community's story centers around journeys, not just across the oceans but also across generations. We celebrate AAPI Heritage Month every May to honor two milestones in our shared history: The Arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to the US. (May 7, 1843) The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, whose workers were mostly Chinese immigrants. This year's theme is 'Power in Unity: Strengthening Communities Together,' and honoring it demands more than just memory. It is an invitation to celebrate and uplift the 50+ ethnic groups and 100+ languages that make our Ohana whole. Β Honoring the Crafts that Carry the Aloha Spirit Behind every label is a story of commitment to keeping the craftsmanship alive in modern times. Supporting AAPI businesses echoes this year's theme, as you're fueling the dreams of artists and entrepreneurs who often act as the heartbeat of their community. In our gift shop, every item carries the warmth of our heritage to your hands. Bring the 'Everyday Aloha' spirit into your home with these favorites: Hawaiian Sun Drinks Macadamias & Almonds Sauces & Seasonings Tote Bags & Clutches As you pick out your favorites, remember that we deliver every order with complementary gift wrapping and a handwritten note.
