About This Calendar Kū I Ka Mālie (Calm Resistance)
“Native Hawaiians are genealogically connected to ka pae ‘āina Hawai‘i as both the ancestral homeland and the elder sibling of Hawaiian aboriginals in traditional belief systems. This relationship is integral to Native Hawaiian identity and is distinctive from that of other groups who live and work in the Hawaiian Islands.” Source: Kana‘iaupuni and Malone, 2006.
