MISSION: The Hawaiian Islands form a pae moku, or archipelago, and each island is known as a mokupuni. These mokupuni are further divided into moku, or districts, which are then divided into ahupuaʻa. Which moku and ahupuaʻa do you currently live or, if not living in Hawaiʻi, which moku and ahupuaʻa are you in now?

Noho au ma ka mokupuni ʻo (island name) ma ka moku ʻo (moku name) ma ke ahupuaʻa ʻo (ahupuaʻa name).
