BACKGROUND<\/p>\n

Ola i ka h\u0101
\n<\/i>The \u00a0first line is a reflection of the legend of the origin of the kalo<\/i>, the child of W\u0101kea and Ho\u02bboh\u014dk\u016bkalani who soon after birth expired.\u00a0 This child was buried near their home and from his body grew forth the kalo<\/i> plant. A second son was born to W\u0101kea and Ho\u02bboh\u014dk\u016bkalani and he became the father of the human race. Like his elder brother, he was also named H\u0101loa with the epithet nakalaukapalili added to his name. The first birth of t he first H\u0101loa established the tradition of the senior line in the Hawaiian tradition, and the birth of the second H\u0101loa established the tradition of the junior line subservient to the senior line, humankind as custodians to the gods who manifest in nature \/environm\u00b7ent. The word h\u0101<\/i> used in the first line is a reflection of the names H\u0101loa and H\u0101loanakalaukapalili.<\/p>\n

Ola i ka wai
\n<\/i>The\u00b7 second line is a reflection of the god, K\u0101ne, the god creation. K\u0101ne has many forms, which include the water, the sunlight, and the rainbow. K\u0101ne is the giver of life and not the taker of life, therefore no human sacrifices were offered to him. He is at the zenith in the pantheon of gods\u00a0 and the other gods are said \u00a0to be lesser manifestations of him. K\u0101ne worship incorporated shrines with sacred upright stones where prayers and offerings were left.<\/p>\n

In order for the kalo<\/i> to grow tall and strong it needs both water and sunlight, both manifestations as mentioned earlier of the god, K\u0101ne. An ancient proverb states, \u201cP\u016b\u02bbali\u02bbali kalo I ka wai \u02bbole,\u201d<\/i> without water the kalo<\/i> grows misshapen or crooked. K\u0101ne in the form of water not only provides sustenance for good healthy growth of the kalo<\/i> but also provides sustenance \u2013 the same for mankind.<\/p>\n

The work \u201cwai,\u201d<\/i> in the second line, is a reflection to the god, K\u0101neikawaiola \u2013 the god of the living or healing waters.<\/p>\n

Ola i ka\u02bb\u012b
\n<\/i>The third line is a reflection of the Kumulipo chant that was used as a prayer for the dedication of the chief Lonoikamakahiki to the gods soon after his birth. It is at that time that the honors of Kapu, Wela, Hoano and Moe were conferred to him by his father, Keawekekahiali\u02bbiokamoku, King of Hawai\u02bbi. After the ceremony his name was changed to Ka-\u02bb\u012a-\u02bbi-mamao. The third line also reflects the name of \u02bb\u012ao, the tradition of one supreme deity connected to the workship of the \u02bbio<\/i> (hawk) and the pueo<\/i> (owl).<\/p>\n

H\u0101wai\u02bb\u012b, H\u0101wai\u02bb\u012b, H\u0101wai\u02bb\u012b
\n<\/i>The fourth line connects the three components, the h\u0101<\/i>, the wai<\/i> and the \u02bb\u012b <\/i>in the name H\u0101wai\u02bb\u012b, the breath or the air that we breathe, the water that we drink and god\/goddess most superior. Air and water sustains the life created through the god. As explained to me by Aunty Emma deFries in our study of the supreme one god \u012ao, the island names that end with (\u02bbi) such as H\u0101wai\u02bbi, Mau\u02bbi, Moloka\u02bbi, L\u0101na\u02bbi and Kaua\u02bbi became so in our ancient past due to the ruling chiefs who collectively worshipped the supreme god, \u02bbIo. In my study with Aunty Emma, \u02bbIo was referred to as \u02bb\u012a-o-na-lani-nui-a-mamao (the Supreme most god of the great heavens and beyond.) Aunty Emma asked me to always keep this tradition close to me.<\/p>\n

W\u0101kea ka lani
\nPapa ka h\u014dnua
\nNo ka luna ko luna
\nNo kalalo ko lalo
\n\u02bbO ka pono no ia e<\/i><\/p>\n

The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth lines reflect the \u201cnatural order\u201d of our gods, environment and people. To everything there is a natural or proper order. There is a beginning and an end, a top and a bottom, a male god and a female counterpart. There is harmony, balance and unity. The gods are at the top of the triad followed by the environment and then humankind. The same order is reflected in the social structure as established in the kapu<\/i> system, ali\u02bbi<\/i>, kahuna<\/i>, maka\u02bb\u0101inaa\u0101<\/i> and kauw\u0101<\/i> along with terms and roles within the \u02bbohana<\/i> such as k\u016bpuna<\/i>, m\u0101kua<\/i>, \u02bb\u014dpio<\/i>, keiki<\/i> and kamaiki<\/i>. From the top to the bottom, all is in its proper place. This is truly our pono<\/i>. Not as translated as the word, \u201crighteousness,\u201d but the natural order as allotted like mana<\/i> by the god\/goddess.<\/p>\n

The tenth line reflects the life, health and healing, which we attribute to our gods. The kalo<\/i> and the human race were born from W\u0101kea and Ho\u02bboh\u014dk\u016bkalani. The life force is in the manifestations of the god K\u0101ne, the sun, the air and the rainbow. All of this is perpetuated by the pono<\/i>, the natural order, the balance and the unity.<\/p>\n
