ALOLA 'AINA - LOVE FOR THE LAND

Hawaiian Mother Earth, or Papahanaumoku, represents the Earth’s nurturing and life-giving force in Hawaiian culture. She is revered as the goddess who sustains all life, embodying the deep connection between the land, sea, and sky. This sacred figure highlights the Hawaiian belief in the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. Papa’s husband is Wakea, Father Sky. Together, they gave birth to the Hawaiian Islands and the people. The lyrics reference an old saying still commonly used today, ?ke one hanau’, ?the sand of my birth’, referring to Hawai‘i as the ancestral homeland of the Hawaiian people. This sentiment is the essence of ?Aloha ?Aina. Our talented sand artist creates stunning images and stories by skillfully shaping sand.
