I stayed at a hostel earlier this week which had this whiteboard in the dining area with the greeting “welcome!!” in
various #languages. I was a little tempted to ask them to change “Aloha!!” to “Welina mai!!” which would be a better translation of #welcome. “Aloha” is more of a generic greeting. But, at least most people will recognize #aloha! #OleloHawaii#LearnHawaiian#hawaiian
Beautiful protocol and ceremony. I get chicken skin when I think about her.
What an amazing story she has, and a key roll she plays in the Hawaiian "Renaissance" and resistance, starting in the 1070s. This canoe is practically sacred. #hokulea#hawaii#BayArea#aloha
