The Hawaiian language revitalisation effort is the most developed of any indigenous language revitalisation in the United States. The language has a unique status as the single indigenous language of the state and a history as an administrative language spoken by all ethnic groups during the time of the independent Kingdom of Hawai'i. During the past fifteen years, Hawaiian language revitalisation has centred around establishing indigenous medium/immersion education and implementi~g the official status of the language in the State of Hawai'i. The current revitalisation has its roots in a broad cultural movement of the 1970s called the Hawaiian Renaissance and has benefited politically from the unification of various ethnic groups in Hawai'i under a 'local' consciousness that has a strong indigenous base. In spite of higher level political support, the revitalisation movement has required strong grassroots activism in its efforts to seek accommodation within the Hawai'i public school system.
