The
'Ahahui logo (designed by Sam 'Ohukani'ōhi'a Gon III and Mike
Naho'opi'i) incorporates plants and animals from the land
and the sea: on land (above) there is a nuku'i'iwi vine, a mamo (a
honeycreeper used for featherwork) and a carnivorous caterpillar. For
the sea (below) there is a monk seal ('īlio-holo-i-ka-uaua), a
hā'uke'uke (purple urchin), and a limu kala (important medicinal and
protocol seaweed). Within this lei of life is a petroglyph of a
family, representing Hawaiian
lifestyle and community. Above the figures is a triple circle, symbol
of the
three-fold mission of the 'Ahahui: stewardship, culture, and education.
The symbol is a closed oval, signifying the circle of ecological
relationships between plants and animals, and between land and sea.
Humans are embraced within this relationship, and via cultural
practices and
spiritual links (e.g., via
'aumakua) are part of the circle as well. We
stand for informed, responsible stewardship of the land and sea.
