“KS is fully committed to and embraces the promise and power of the collective and this kula Hawai‘i network... We embrace this because we understand that we can do more working together than alone.”

“While Kamehameha has long viewed Hawaiian well-being as the big-picture goal, it has never before placed Hawaiian language, culture, and ‘āina experiences in such a prominent, foundational role. It is part of Goals 1, 2 and 3 of our Strategic Plan 2020, and we only have five goals.”

IWIKUAMO‘O

• Iwikuamoʻo refers to our backbones, while both iwi and moʻo refer to mountain ridges.
• A kuamoʻo can further be a path or a custom.
• Iwikuamoʻo also refers to a highly trusted kahu, steward, and counselor of a chief. Such meanings led people of the kingdom era to use iwikuamoʻo as a term of admiration for staunch poʻe aloha ʻāina who fought for our lāhui in the legislature and public sphere.
• Iwikuamoʻo is also the name for one of four primary star lines used by our contemporary navigators to make their way across the vast Moananuiākea.

​

In these senses, Iwikuamoʻo is a name whose primary meanings refer to strength, connectivity, trust, and navigating new paths.

Choosing a name for the kula Hawai‘i network

The Iwikuamoʻo star line includes Hōkūpaʻa (the north star), Hānaiakamalama (the southern cross), Nā Hiku (the big dipper), and Hōkūleʻa (the zenith star here in Hawaiʻi), and other key stars crucial for navigators. I

KANAEOKANA

• Kanaeokana refers to the nae, or net, of Kana, a powerful kupua who could grow to extraordinary size. He was a hero in various mo‘olelo, including one in which he succeeded at rescuing his mother Hina from the fortress at Hāʻupu, Moloka‘i.
• Nae were the fine-meshed nets that served as the foundations to which ʻuo, feather bundles, were attached in making ʻahuʻula that were fashioned with great expertise and dedication spanning multiple generations.
• Nae were created from the bast of the endemic olonā plant, one of the strongest natural fibers known to man.
• Nae, also refers to the distinct fine-meshed fishing net, reflective of a Hawaiian propensity to design specialized tools allowing users to excel in fulfilling a specific kuleana (as opposed to using generic tools that merely suffice).

​

In these senses, Kanaeokana is a name whose primary meanings suggest extraordinary strength, flexibility, endurance, focus, and excellence.
