IZ: UA MAU KE EA O KA AINA I KA PONO O HAWAII

[@lisaormonde9124]

This is a heartfelt song to help non islanders to help understand how sacred and precious the island is. After studying the art, history, language and dance for 17 years cant help to feel the emotion of this song. Brother IZ is a rare gem that will forever live through his music

[@markshelby2141]

Braddah IZ nailed it every time! In Everyone of His Songs! Respect the land and it will be good to you. Our land is Our life! The Hawai'ians knew it centuries ago! The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness God Bless You Braddah IZ!

I grew up in Hawai'i and although I will carry it's spirit with me everywhere I am, I will never move back there. The land belongs to the people that took care of it. With Aloha

[@KeLaSch]

Pickle Rick I wish I grew up in Hawai‘i but I only have a hawaiian name (I‘m German)... and I really really love my name and I hope I can visit Hawai‘i in future 🙈🌺 My name: Kea-Lani (like the fairmont Hotel Kea Lani)

[@deannemichele7472]

Respectfully, The King had no problems using Cook's weapons to conquer all the islands for himself. Both the Queen and King understood the valuable benefit of a better and more modern life style. The fate of a United Hawaii has always been intertwined with both Natives (figiians who conquered the islands for themselves?) and whites. Neither is above exploitation and conquest.

[@nevaehlheaven]

So it's a bad idea to move there?

[@MrLikeke]

@@nevaehlheaven Its not a bad idea to move to Hawaii. But where are you coming from (ideologically) and what do you expect out of life? Do some research to see if it's a good fit for you, more importantly, if you're a good fit for the islands. Visiting may help but remember, visiting and living are two different things. I've known some people who complain that living in Hawaii after xx amount of years they still don't get treated as local. I just laugh and laugh.

[@MrLikeke]

What a strange comment. I happen to known some Apache, Navajo, and Cherokee. I am acquainted with many more. I know that they do not beg. I know many who are doing very well in life. Then you mention the blacks. The only blacks looked down upon are the thugs and criminals. Who wouldn't look down on those? Who is it that looks down on blacks as a group? 'Trump and his fan club'. Thanks for the laugh, sport. I notice that you do not make the distinction between immigrants and illegal aliens. It is the illegals which are the problem and for many reasons. If you meant that Trump wants to keep muslims out of the U.S., then you should know that is not correct either. His immigration ban did apply to some muslim countries but not all muslim countries. It is just as the ban applied to non-muslim countries as well. See, no one group is being picked on. No groups at all are being picked on. That is, unless you consider the criminal element an equal group.

An old video from 1985 of police officers arresting Hawaiians in order to remove them from the beach, specifically Waimanalo Beach Park has resurfaced itself on Facebook and I've watched it again for the 5th time, today and I can't help but cry. One Uncle said, "Keep Hawaiian Lands in Hawaiian Hands," and I just can't help but hear my heart cracking. Oh, Bradda IZ, how times have changed. How touched O'ahu, has become. How playing in the streets, in the streams of the valley has become unsafe. I am not of Native Hawaiian Descent but being Samoan and having been born and raised on O'ahu, Hawai'i; I can't help but to know and share the pain. I am polynesian and although, I am one; I do not stand alone. I am with you, Hawai'i. I am with you Polynesia. Always. And I will find a way and I will do my best to help my people, the people of Hawai'i..the people of Polynesia. Aloha. Alofa. Ofa atu. 💕

[@richardhamilton9506]

As a pilot I appreciate seeing the wing. As a human I appreciate the misty cloud as metaphor of this day connected to an ancient past. I recognize IZ voice but I do wish I knew the chant. I weep for the beauty of Hawaii and the people. As haole I am firmly in support of returning sovereignty to the land. It is the land of my birth. I have returned after the freeways were built. What a tragedy. I will return again and soon. I only hope e huli ana na maku, amama ua noa. This is my prayer

[@sharonrwilson2727]

Amen. Now.

[@Ireland617]

Another translation, The sovereignty of the land is perpetuated through righteousness. The title of this song is Hawai'i 78. It is such a beautiful song sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. The phrase is from the Hawaiian coat of arms, the sovereign kingdom of Hawai'i.. "Oh Hawai'i" was added for the song. I'm so blessed to live here on Oahu. Long live Hawai'i. I absolutely love this song. Liked and saved to playlist.

Hawaii nei all day! Love my land with everything in me

[@ElegantAware510VapeShop]

The actual translation of 'Ua mau ke ea o ka 'aina I ka pono o Hawaii' is "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness". Fo real... Motto of all Hawaiians. Shaka bra!

[@msxielolixii839]

Had a dream on 5-5-12 that had what seemed to be a traditional chant at the beginning of this song, but I couldn't place it. The dream was about a funeral held in Hawaii with a few people; one was a man, that somehow I felt I knew, but he was in his elder stage, with a face glowing... this eventually led me to when researching in genealogy looking for my father, I actually found my older brother who had been listed as MIA there in Hawaii just about the time of the ending of the war.. I found him... he is buried there at the Punchbowl Cemetery!... the connection is the traditional chant that precedes and concludes this beautiful song (not the English words of the song, only the chant and Native language). A circle made full.. Mahalo

[@kuuipo626arthur4]

Just adding to your beautiful comment many sovereign Nations specifically Native I hate to even say American Indians of the land the dreams that they had were very important they were spoke of they were honored they were feared but more so than that it spoke to them in their unconscious state to give them a vision and to hold the vision of their past present and what may come interesting and very real thank you for sharing that was very special..🙏🏝🌈💐🌺

[@heartofmaui5331]

For sake of brevity, or unawareness of it's importance of the okina ( ' ), it is often not transferred when creating new text. 'Ua (with the okina) is a sign of perfect tense. When written without the okina ua means rain or shower. Most likely the author of above title was unaware of this. The ? in the title above should be an okina (okina meaning a cutting off). This and other glottal stops and the macron were added by missionaries to aid non-native speakers in correct pronunciation. Handy Hawaiian Dictionary by Judd, Pukui and Stokes as well as The Hawaiian Language and Hawaiian-English Dictionary by Judd are great resources for those interested in Hawaiian 'ole'lo (owe-LAY-low). Aloha mai, aloha aku. When love is shared, love is returned!

The helicopter makes it sound surreal

Amazing and note to those who love the islands that this started with a golf course… and stupid helicopters.. both destructive. The life of the land is perpetuated for righteousness sake.

🙏🏿 for hawaii I need to send you the words of a ancient leader ancestor of your people. Ua a Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono is a Hawaain Phrase spoken by khamehameha lll and adopted in 1959 as the state motto. It is most commonly translated as "the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness." An alternative translation, which appears at thomas square next to a statue of Kamehameha III, is "The sovereignty of the kingdom continues because we are righteous." Pray these words to God of ur King . Then if u can pray What we call the lords prayer. Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name ... Matthew 6 It's written believed and proven through time God's were created by the Creator of Heaven and earth. You and I people, the gods, the land need as survivors of devastation to understand what he will answer and what he waits to hear from the people when we've been spared to live. Painful, sorrow, grief and mourning is his pain for us.
