Aloha mai kakou,
Welcome to Kainoa's Korner. I am Kainoa. Currently I am the Vice-President of the UNLV Hawai`i Club. My mission is to educate as many of my peers about the Hawaiian Culture. Whether you are a Kanaka Maoli, or just a Hawaiian at heart, join me. For this is Hawai`i.
What Does Being Hawaiian Mean?
Being Hawaiian is all about self values. It's about loving your family, loving your friends, and loving the `aina (land). Keeping with the ideas of values, here are some values our ancestors cherished.
