It takes commitment to raise #keiki close to nature. This is one of the rare moments when my phone isn’t in the car or at home. So grateful for the opportunity to give my son a chance to bond with his homeland without plastic toys and electronics. Only the pure heart beat of the valley, the tide, the flowing cold mountain water, the mud of the #loi the smell of the fire and sound of the waves, wind & birds. Oh and the red ‘alae clay, best natural beach paint... This is our home, and we stand to protect its vitality and it’s health so that future generations may be taken care of by the abundance of the #aina. #alohaaina kine stuff.... #makaainana #kamaaina #keikiokaaina #maui #kingdomofhawaii #kohawaiipaeaina #hawaii #waterislife #oceanhealth #environment #climatechange #kukui #beach #rock #art #paint #kids #parenting #leaf #identification #nature #natureskills
Pūʻali kalo i ka Wai ʻOle - Taro, for lack of water, one may become ill.
The passion exhibited by cousin Jesse Nakoʻoka at last nights meeting was beyond real.
Sober & Solid cousin jesse has been opening up ʻauwai throughout Maui Hikina (East Maui). This ʻāina & our wai is healing, it is our medicine. We all contribute to this battle in different ways, some are at the frontlines of meetings, some are knee deep in the loʻi, others are ʻauwai caretakers, some are away at Law school, & some are simply practicing their rights everyday from mauka to makai.
There is no aloha without kanaka, & there is no life without wai, as you can see, & feel.....our kanaka will die fighting, its a fight not just for Ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻĀina, but for all indigenous peoples.
