2019 Polynesian football players honored
As we celebrate the accomplishments of the inductees, we are quickly reminded by what guiding principles allowed them to make it thus far.

It is their families, communities and cultures that are honored along with these men. PFHOF is a way to honor the past and draw strength from it. It’s a way to say we are making our mark on history. Our culture makes us the people and players we are! Our culture and our very being are inseparable.
