The Hawaiian warrior is the essence who and what one is as a kanaka maoli.

What or who is a kanaka maoli?

A kanaka maoli is one who is born of the koko of the people who settled this place now called Hawaii.

It is one who believes the culture, lives the culture and is the culture.

It is the reflection of what our ancestors envisioned of us when they toiled this land looking forward to when we too would live as they lived.

Today, after 230 years of foreign influence and occupation our warriors are struggling to regain that which was lost.

In my view, every kanaka maoli who has moved our people forward is a warrior, and their names should always be on our lips and recorded in our personal genealogies and histories.

Whether it be in education, health, religion, human services, welfare, politics, civil rights, or employment. If we have gained it was because of them. And let us not forget the sovereignty movement; irregardless of the positions we chose to advocate, the journey will ultimately lead to unity of our people.

Mahalo for the opportunity to comment.
