HAWAIIAN THINGS We ALOHA

\AuAAam

We love the hula, the sound of keiki speaking in Hawaiian, the company of good friends and taking the "Buy Loeal" concept one step further. "Go Native!" Kāko'o 'Ōihana 'Ōiwi - support Native Hawaiian owned businesses. It provides a means of self sufficiency for our people and businesses that could lead to a better quality of life, and keeps our economy in Hawai'i. Because of the people here and their indelible aloha spirit,

nowhere else ean compare to our island home. It's all about people and supporting one another with a little kindness, love and aloha. Speaking of love - there are so many Hawaiian things we love - fish and poi, music, 'Iolani Palaee, the Hawaiian Historical Society, Kamehameha Publishing, Nā Mea Hawai'i, lū'au, and so mueh more.
