MOʻOKŪʻAUHAU
Origins of Alaukawai
Adapted from the chant E Ulu, "a lau ka wai" speaks of an abundance of water that flows from the 'ōhi'a, captured by its leaves, absorbed by its branches, nourishing the plants on the forest floor. As the 'ōhi'a flourishes and reproduces, water becomes further abundant and the forest thrives.
Inspired by the water which moves through the 'ōhi'a, stimulating growth, feeding streams, rivers, and kanaka, such is our work in Alaukawai, aimed at the sustenance of our Kamehameha Hawai'i kauhale and the establishment and nourishment of current and future forests.

E ulu ē, e ulu kini o ke akua
Ulu aʻe ʻo Kāne me Kanaloa
Ulu ka ʻōhiʻa, a lau ka wai, ka ʻieʻie
Ulu aʻe ke akua a noho i kona kahu
Eia ka wai lā, he wai ola
E ola iaʻu, i ke kumu
E ola i ke poʻo, ke poʻo puaʻa
E ola i ka pae, ka paepae
E ola i nā haumāna, nā haumāna a pau
ʻEliʻeli kapu, ʻeliʻeli noa.
