About Me
Aloha! My name is Harley Kamalei Onalani Kamaluena Kauhane Kinney.I was born on August 30, 2001. I am the daughter of Kerrie Kauhane and Henry Kinney. I have two younger siblings, Keani Kinney and Nainoa Kinney. My family is very important to me. I am from the lovely Kāneʻohe, Oahu. Ulumano is the winds of Kāneʻohe for Kaholoakeāhole and Kui-lua is the windward winds that churns up the sea. Ua-ʻĀpuakea is the name of a rain famous at Koʻolaupoko. It is said to be named for a beautiful woman, ʻĀpuakea, who was changed to rain by the goddess Hiʻiaka. The Mauna of Kāneʻohe are the Koʻolaus. Waikalua loko iʻa is the wai of Kāneʻohe.
Mālama Honua means to give back to the island to me. It means maintaining the island and care for everything that makes up the world. For example, the land, oceans, cultures, live beings and many communities. It also means to take care of the things we need daily like how the ancestors did. Our resources must be used efficiently and we have to understand that we must tend to them with great care. Simple things like picking up trash around campus or while going on walks on the beach can make a huge difference.
Some events in my life that has helped to shape a Mālama Honua mindset are visualizations of our oceans being polluted every day. It upsets me seeing our oceans being trashed. Many of our resources come from the ocean, so we should take care of it just like our ancestors did. The rising sea levels also helped to shape a Mālama Honua mindset in me. We should reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from rising up to the ozone layer which then makes the temperatures of the world change rapidly, causing the big icebergs and glaciers to melt. This whole process causes the sea levels to rise which some parts of our island is very at risk to be underwater soon if no actions are done.
Some aspirations I hold as an haumāna of papa Mālama Honua is to be able to help the land and give back to others. I hope to achieve and make a difference in today’s world.For example, I hope to help the land and hopefully influence others to do the same. This will then lead to better communities and a more positive society leading to success. I want to learn the skills of being a good Hawaiian in this class. I also want to learn about the land and its plants and how to take care of them.
Aloha ʻĀina means to love and respect the land, make it yours and claim stewardship for it. It means to take care of the land and be strong and stand up for the land to me. Simple things like maintaining a kalo patch and keeping it clean of any trash or rubbish is examples of aloha ʻāina. Another examples of aloha ʻāina could be volunteering at beach clean ups. Keeping our beaches and lands clean will lead to our oceans being clean also. I feel that everyone should take care of the land and most importantly our oceans. We have many resources that come from these places and if they are ruined we no longer can use them to provide food, etc.
Aloha ʻāina and mālama honua basically mean the same thing but mālama honua is more broad and asks to take care of the world and everything that makes up the the world rather than aloha ʻāina which means to take care of the “island.” Overall, both phrases means to take care of the land. This is why I want to learn more about the land and how to take care of the land.
