    The cool thing about Mele Hawaii is that it can take many forms.  In this episode, we take a look at the song Hoʻa by our friends The Vitals 808 on how they promote Aloha ʻāina through their genre of music to awaken the masses.

    I ku mau mau

    One of the most commonly heard Oli you will ever hear, I ku mau mau is an oli with humble origins that spurs and ignites the people who hear it to join in and take a stand.  Join us as we remember that stand our kupuna took for Mauna Kea 1 year ago.

Cheee!!! 😱🙌🏽🌱🤙🏽

Mahalo nui for sharing the awesome ‘ike! Love how you folks reveal to us the perspectives, scientific observation and inductive studies that our kūpuna conducted and recorded through ‘oli and mele! Great mana’o and definitely something that should be shared and taught more often to the youth as well as the other kānaka that occupy these islands we call home. Like you folks said, we all have a kuleana whether you like it or not to practice this reciprocal relationship with not only other fellow kānaka, but our resources and cycles that allow us to thrive and continue living! E Ho’omau ‘ia lā!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🤙🏽
