Nānākuli (Hawaiian pronunciation: [naːnaːˈkuli]) is a census-designated place (CDP) on the west coast of the island of Oʻahu, City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, United States.
[3] Nānākuli is 48 km (30 mi) away from Honolulu,[4] and is located near the southern end of the Waiʻanae mountain.
[7] The presence of DHHL (Department of Hawaiian Home Lands) has heavily influenced the Nānākuli community.
Uniquely in the state of Hawaiʻi and for the last 50 years, three Nānākuli public schools have campuses located on Hawaiian Home Lands.
In recent years, the neighborhood board acknowledged the long-standing history of the valley and DHHL by renaming Nānākuli Beach Park after Kalaniʻanaole.
