Mo‘olelo
Moʻolelo gain power with each telling and retelling. It is no mistake that our kūpuna called each version of our moʻolelo a mana. The stories below are the kinds of stories that bring mana to our lāhui. Stories about how connecting to our culture brings success. About how our keiki know the importance of community. About how bright the future is when it is built upon nohona Hawaiʻi.
