Its an honor for me to be here with all of you this morning. It comes from my blood, where I was born and how I was raised, as well as from recent lessons learned as a community networker. I took a quick look at some of the global networking on sustainable development that's out there. We say that is aloha 'aina, malama' aina , ahupua'a style living, self-reliance. In this way, I feel that I am practicing my sovereignty.
Cleanliness is healthy and invokes righteous thoughts.
Our ancestors have taught us this and this is how we choose to live. A government that blatantly destroyed and desecrated our lands and our cultural kapu's. It's time to make right the wrongs. It's time to restore the Ahupua'a. Educators, like yourselves, can help in a significant way.
