The ʻohe symbolizes flexibility. When blown by the strongest winds, the ʻohe sways and bends without losing its “rigid” form. The Hawaiian value associated with the ʻohe is haʻahaʻa (humility). A flexible attitude develops within as a result of learning to give and take, and bend and sway in challenging situations. We envision a community of flexible learners who develop into humble people.
