Aloha ‘āina: love the land

“Aloha ‘āina is a relationship not just with the land but really with nature itself and in particular that part of the land and sea and streams and water that actually sustains life. ‘Āi is the word that means to eat and when we say ‘āina we’re talking basically about what it is that feeds not just humans but basically everything, and everything is directly dependent and interdependent with the ‘āina.” - Jon Osorio

I encourage you to establish a relationship with the lands, waters, and people of all the places you live, work, and play.
