“Na wai ho’i ka ‘ole o ke akamai, he alahele i ma’a i ka hele ‘ia e o’u mau makua.”

“Who would not be wise on a path walked upon by my parents and ancestors?”

This year’s festival honors the wisdom carried forward through ʻike kūpuna (ancestral knowledge). As we gather, we celebrate the trails our kūpuna established and recommit ourselves to walking them with humility, purpose, and aloha—keeping our traditions alive in an ever-changing world.
