I think my ohana is finally ready. Not to shabby 7 years. Half the time I was in the hospital going throughout the same abuse and betrayal as my ancestors. Little did they know indigenous practicing granddaughters also can read proper english by proper witness of the Victorian era. What did we do? Teamwork, i took out the politics. I gave it nurturing love, a product for each ohana hui, every one gets #hookupu , everything and all things #naaumakua gets cared for. The manu people, the bird people of the crane, the hone creeper, the plover, the flying dragon, the river dragon. The land of Kū Lā Kaīwī and the cities of trees it held and old reef.

The first, Li of Mu, Ti , for the naau, and piko to all Nānā before you in its evolution from Wakea. Haloalaunuikea, Haloa the plant gave life to many after him, a man named after a plant;carrying the longest and important legacy .
