First values

For all those who believe that joining groups is not how we as a community will eome together, but believe in making pono with your 'ohana by fixing your house first, that is a sign you were taught those values passed down from

that first nation. For all those who understand that one day everything will be all right and all the changes done to our nation are for a reason, this is a sign you were taught those values from the first nation. For all those who believe we should stand together and not fight, not yell, that is a sign you were taught those values. For all those who go with the flow, even if things feel uncomfortable, you have the values. For those Hawaiians who know and understand the word sacrifice, hold onto the end because you will see the queen's wish eome true. She knew all about the first nation and she sacrificed herself. If she ean do it, we ean. She was taught all the signs of the first nation of Hawaiians. We should learn and sing more of the "Queen's Prayer." Chariene Manu Hilo
