“KAPU ALOHA. Since 1978, Hawaiian has been one of two official languages of the State of Hawaii. Since then, Kaleikoa Kaeo was arrested for refusing to acknowledge his presence to Judge Kobayashi in English, but the meat of this post is about how we choose to respond to these types of issues - issues that stir up the deepest rage inside of us. Often times, we allow pride, bitterness, and anger to overtake our stance on aloha. This sometimes causes us to unhinge ourselves from the truth and to say things we don't necessarily mean. Today, let us remember aloha to be a form of our intelligence and wisdom, and let us use our rage to feed our fire and desire to educate and create change. Our children are watching. ”

“Kapu Aloha: the term may be new but the concept is centuries old. Modern “koa kapu aloha,” or kapu aloha warriors, are making a stand with the true dignity of our kūpuna. The approach may be a road less travelled in our recent past but it is one our kupuna are teaching us about once again, along with many other haʻawina in the malu o Maunakea. Meet some of those who have been transforming, and have been transformed by, this Kapu Aloha movement while making sure that this sacred approach is the only one that can be had on this sacred mauna as differing sides come together to at least agree that Kapu Aloha is the only way to proceed.”

“Kapu Aloha is a multidimensional concept/practice inspired by our kupuna. It places a discipline of compassion on all to express aloha for those involved, especially those who are perceived to be polemic to our cause. A Kapu Aloha helps us intentionalizeour thoughts, words and deeds. It honors the energy and life found in aloha and helps us focus on its ultimate purpose and meaning.
Ahimsa is a multidimensional concept, inspired by the premise that all living beings have the spark of the divine spiritual energy; therefore, to hurt another being is to hurt oneself.”

YouTube Video - Lanakila - Joshua Lanakila Mangauil ( Lanakila ) - “Hawaii Rising | The Mauna Kea movement and the Kapu Aloha conduct explained.”
“A beautiful talk by Lanakila Mangauil explaining how this movement transcends all ages cultures and boundaries and why it is important now more than ever to return to the ancient Hawaiian systems and practices and leave behind the foreign system that has proven itself to be a failure at upholding the life and righteousness of the land and it's people.”
