Mālama Honua means taking care of our self and the lands that we live on, we need to make sure we treat the ʻaina with respect and maintain it and destroy or overuse it before it is destroyed forever. It also means finding different ways to take care of the lands and island. We need to protect what our ancestors have left for us and show them that they made a good choice with what they left us.
Some events have been going to the loʻi patches. I have gone there over 10 times and I enjoy going every time because I get to get dirty and do a lot of work to help out the land. I have gone for kumauna, Hawaiian, baseball, and lot of times just for fun in order to give back to the land and also my ancestors for all the work they did for all of us. I have also cleaned my yard when it is dirty or getting messy. I also help my grandparents with their yard by watering it and cutting the grass. I have also done beach cleanups for classes in order to keep trash out of the ocean and keep Hawaii clean. I have found bottles and bags of trash left on the beach that I have to pick up to none of the sea life creatures are hurt or killed by it.
My hopes for this class is to learn things about the land that I have never heard of before and learn new ways to help the ʻaina out so that I can give back to my ancestors. I want to be able to learn and focus on new things in science that I have also never learned before. I want to also go out as a class together and fix up the land so that we can all see that it is good to give back to the land that has given us more than we have given it. I also want to be able to make something in a project that will help out the land or something that helps replenish it.
Aloha ʻaina means give love to the land, not just the one that you live on but all that you have gone onto. Giving back and cleaning it up, and not leaving your trash laying around. Aloha ʻaina doesn’t only mean to love the land but to also malama it and take care of it. You need to not make a mess on it or ruin the grounds. Trash is one thing but ruining the ands and destroying it is not aloha ‘aina. You need to take care of and clean up the land that you use and have been given.
Mālama Honua and Aloha ‘aina are both related because they both talk about taking care of the land and giving back to it. They both mean that you have to clean up after yourself and find ways that you can keep the land clean and healthy.
