Outstanding Service Award

The Manikiki Nation has established the Outstanding Service Award in recognition of those outgoing big braves that have exhibited outstanding service to their tribe and the nation.

The nominees have outstandingly fulfilled the purpose of the Indian Guide Program which is to foster the understanding and companionship of father and son. The nominees exemplify the Pledge which is: "We, Father and Son, through friendly service to each other, to our family, to our tribe, to our community, seek a world pleasing to the eye of the Great Spirit."

Each year, the Manikiki Nation presents an Outstanding Service award to one or more outgoing Big Braves. A Nation member nominates eligible Big Braves. The Nation Council selects the recipients of the awards. The Outstanding Service Award is presented at the Annual Banquet.
