A strong connection to ʻāina powers our communities, perpetuates our culture and provides future generations with lessons they can carry forward. When we care for ʻāina, we care for one another.Our partners at the Hawaiʻi Wildfire Management Organization will lead a live webinar on May 6 at 5:30 p.m. to equip families with essential strategies to prepare for the dry summer season. From land management to evacuation plans, the webinar will help ʻohana with wildfire readiness and resilience. Visit hwmo.org/ready-set-go for more information.

Tonight’s the night for ʻAha Mele 2025! Tune in to the livestream tonight at 7 p.m. for Kamehameha Schools Maui ʻAha Mele, where mele and moʻolelo come together in a celebration of East Maui, ʻohana, and ʻāina. This year’s theme “Eō e Maui Hikina: Mai Koʻolau a Kaupō” honors the voices of each moku in East Maui through mele rooted in place, pride, and pilina. Haumāna have walked the lands, listened to their kūpuna, and are ready to raise their voices in songs that carry generations of ʻike and aloha.🔗 Livestream link in our bio! #ʻAhaMele2025 #EōEMauiHikina #IMuaKamehameha #Maui

Lei are woven expressions of aloha, each one carrying intention, emotion, and connection. From the gathering of pua and lāʻau to the thoughtful weaving of each strand, the making of lei is an act of aloha. And whether worn in celebration or given in gratitude, lei strengthen our pilina between ʻāina and each other. Aloha Lā Lei! #LāLei #MayDayIsLeiDay #IMuaKamehameha

🌿 ʻĀina is more than just land. It is our foundation. As Native Hawaiian Plant Month comes to a close, let us remember that our native plants aren’t just beautiful, they’re essential to Hawaiʻi. They nourish our ecosystems, root us to place, and help our ʻāina thrive.Mai poina, when we mālama ʻāina, the land cares for us in return. #MahinaLāʻauKamaʻāina #NativeHawaiianPlantMonth #MālamaʻĀina #ʻĀinaPauahi
