Hula
Na Waiwai Hawai'i
(Hawaiian Values)
To the Hawaiians, everything is interconnected, Akua (God), po'e (people),
the 'aina (land), and all that comes from the 'aina. Hurting any one of these
is hurting oneself. Helping these is helping oneself. Malama (care for) these
values and you will find true happiness.
By practicing this we make our lives - and the earth - better.
The hula has been described as a "Body Prayer." These lithographs
are inspired by the Hawaiian value system and capture the essence of the meaning
of the dance.
