Project Shaka
Project Shaka is an American civic initiative of Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit ID8 that works to share Aloha Spirit through the shaka hand gesture. Its activities include the production of Shaka: A Story of Aloha, an educational documentary on the origin, meanings and uses of the shaka gesture, advocacy that culminated in passage of a 2024 Hawaiʻi law designating the shaka the official state gesture, and community programs such as a specialty shaka license plate and a shaka-based classroom curriculum.
