Numerous items, such as sand from the beaches and rocks from the volcanoes, are prohibited from being taken out of Hawaii. However, the culture and lessons that can be learned from the Hawaiian values and unique history are freely shared, and they are eager to do so.

Mālama

To tend, care for, preserve, protect, and keep watch over

The concept of mlama describes caring for the earth and its creatures and is easily applicable to daily life. For instance, if you devote your time to uplifting others, you will develop stronger bonds and better relationships with the people in your immediate environment.

Pa’a ka waha

Close your mouth, observe, and then take action

Meaning: to observe and learn from one’s surroundings, or “wisdom cannot pass through a mouth full of words.” The more you actively observe and listen to your surroundings, the more you will learn and be able to contribute when it is your turn to speak.

Kuleana

A sense of obligation and responsibility

It is a code of conduct for holding yourself accountable, based on the belief that if you set personal development as a life goal, you will be intrinsically motivated to pursue it.

Lōkahi

A state of equilibrium and harmony

Meaning: the concept that the mind, body, and universe are interconnected promotes group consciousness and the belief that harmony within a group or population will ensure its survival.

Aloha

What belongs to me belongs to you, unconditional love

Aloha is more than a greeting; it is a way of life. Its traditional Hawaiian meaning is much more profound and spiritual than its modern usage.

Ka lā hiki ola

Every day is a fresh start

The notion that each day is fresh inspires optimism and hope for each and every morning. It is inspiration to progress and take advantage of each new beginning.

Nānā i ke kumu

Know your truth and believe in yourself

Sometimes it is difficult to trust our own instincts, but this Hawaiian value steers clear of this uncertainty and fosters a strong sense of independence.

Alaka’i

To be a strong leader, one must lead by example.

Meaning: it is easier to guide others once you have earned their respect. The Hawaiians believe that a more emotional approach to leading and guiding fosters the individual and collective strength.

‘Ike loa

Importance of acquiring a formal education

It is imperative to never cease learning. Always actively pursue knowledge in the world around you for your own self-development.

‘Ohana

Translation: Family

Hawaiians believe that family is something you create for yourself, regardless of whether you are related by blood or spirit. On the islands, even strangers are referred to as “uncle” or “auntie.” The concept of ‘ohana is based on the belief that people are interconnected in a variety of ways, and that it is our responsibility to discover these connections.
