"Aloha 'aina, malama' aina, ahupua'a style living..."
|
|
"Aloha 'aina simply means to love and respect the land, make it yours and claim
stewardship for it.
Malama 'aina means to care for and nurture the land so it can give back all we need to
sustain life for ourselves and our future generations, and,
An ahupua'a is an ancient concept of resource use and management based on families
living in a division of land that connects the mountains to the reefs and the sea."
Puanani Rogers, Team Leader for the Ho`okipa Network

Narrative
|
|
For native Hawaiians, sustainable development is part of their
traditional lifestyle. Groups of families have traditionally lived in
areas defined by from the tops of the volcanos ridges down to the sea.
Each group maintained a lifestyle that could be supported by the area
in which they lived. This definition comes from a speech given by
Puanani Rogers, Team Leader for the
Ho`okipa Network at a conference at
Lihu`e, Kaua'i in Hawaii in October of 1996.
