夏威夷大學西洛分校於1997年成立夏威夷語言中心Ka Haka ''Ula O Ke''elikolani，這個名字是為了紀念19世紀時最為知名的夏威夷語言與文化學者，Ruth Ke''elikolani Keanolani Kan''hoahoa。為了前人留下來給我們的傳統知識，該學系、老師與學生致力於將這些傳統知識推廣到整個夏威夷居民。

Established in 1997, UH Hilo''s College of Hawaiian Language, Ka Haka ''Ula O Ke''elikolani, was named in honor of Ruth Ke''elikolani Keanolani Kanahoahoa, the 19th century high chiefess known for her strong advocacy of Hawaiian language and culture.
Building upon the vast repository of traditional knowledge left by our elders before us, Ka Haka ''Ula O Ke''elikolani faculty, staff and students seek to realize its vision statement for the benefit of all of Hawai''i''s people.
