*The board of ‘Ahahui Malama i ka Lokahi by charter must include
a simple majority of members of Hawaiian ancestry. Membership in the
organization does not at all require Hawaiian ancestry.
**For those interested in Hawaiian symbology, the growth stages of a
tree go from kupu (sprouting) to mu'o (budding) to liko (tender new
leaf growth), to lau (full mature leaf), to lala (branches), to kumu
(established trunk). The mole (roots) of a tree of course give it life
and connect it to the land. Ho‘oulu is to cause to growth, and
ho‘ouluna is the source of growth. An ancient chant goes thus:
A ua mai la ua
A kupu mai la kupu
A mu'o mai la mu'o
A liko mai la liko
A lau mai la lau
A lala mai la lala
A kumu mai la kumu
A kumu pa'a hina 'ole e!
As the rain falls, raining
That causes sprouting, sprouting
That forms buds, budding
That send leaves unfurling, leafing
That forms mature leaves, leaves
That sends branches, branching
That establishes a trunk, a trunk
A firm trunk, that will not fall!
