Malama Waipio will Educate You!
EMBRACE the MANA of MALAMA WAIPIO
“The Valley of the Kings” and the many other sacred values, which needs to be managed and maintained. ʻAina Ka po‘e, the people, of the Land themselves are embraced by the Mana of Waipi’o and over the generations of being embraced, we have become kin to the spirit of this valley. Out of this sense of kinship and well-being grows the Aloha (love) and a sense of Malama Kupuna ‘Aina, caring for our Ancestral Land, protecting the integrity of Waipi‘o Valley by perpetuating the ability to flow and flourish, and continue to touch the lives of so many more to come. This is the true Spirit of our Kupuna in Waipio Valley”.
