Hau’oli Aloha Po’aono 

Aloha kākahiaka e Hauʻoli lā Pōʻaono nā Kanaka. Aʻia i kā ʻolelo no ke ʻola, aʻia i kā ʻolelo no ka make. Ō kā maluhia no me ʻoe.

Good morning and Happy Saturday, People. In speech is life, in speech is death. In ancient Hawai’i, a kahuna ‘ana’ana could pray someone to death or counter another’s death prayer. The saying tells the Hawaiians that words can either be a source for healing or destroying and so we need to be careful with our words. Peace be with you.

One thought on “Hau’oli Aloha Po’aono 

  1. Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this.
    We got a grab a book from our area library but I
    think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such wonderful information being shared freely out there.
