Hānau ka 'āina, hānau ke ali'i, hānau ke kānaka. Our land, our natural environment, has informed local culture from ancient Hawaiian days to the present. Our natural environment affects the physical and social health not only of ourselves but of our children as well, so we have work together to mālama ʻāina, or take care of the land and its resources. Will our keiki be able to catch 'ōpae in our streams, without getting sick? Will they be able to fish at the beach with their 'ohana, learn how to feed themselves off of the land and sea? If we want these things for our children, and their children, we must start thinking about them now, and work together to make them so.
