The informative and wonderful educational links I have provided here in my documentary as we share our mana’o are for promoting cultural awareness of the many important issues we are facing, our events and activities and the current and ancient history of our Kanaka Maoli, the indigenous Hawaiian people of our great island nation. I am a professional photographer and a freelance photojournalist and I work tirelessly to protect my husband’s rights and as a voice of our people, as a voice for truth. Mahalo nui loa for your gifts of Aloha. My beloved husband, Jacob Mau, is Kanaka Maoli, and it is with much love and deepest respect for him and our dearest Ohana and friends, in honouring our Kupuna, our ancestors and our kamali’i, our children, and for all the wonderful people of our Hawaiian Islands and around the world, this documentary comes from my na’au and I offer it in the truest spirit of Aloha. / Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 Sharon Mau YouTube Channel Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi 23 February 2009 / Quote – “The Hawaiian Independence Flag consists of three horizontal bars, white, gold, and black (top to bottom), with the black and white each occupying one quarter of the flag, and the gold filling the central half. In the center of the gold rests a purple kahili. The white and black bars represent the balance of all things – Heaven and Earth, night and day, the positive and negative. The gold represents the entire human `Ohana (family), with precious life as pure as golden light. The purple represents the original inhabitants of the Hawaiian Archipelago, Na Kanaka Maoli, caretakers of the Spirit of Aloha. The Kahili is an ancient symbol of communication between Heaven and Earth, inspiring leadership of the `ohana. The Kahili is embraced by La`i, leaves of Ti, a sacred plant of Hawai`i with powers of spiritual protection and healing.” excerpt quote by hawaii-nation.org AKAKU Maui Community Television Moku’ula ~ The King’s Island Ahupua’a Kukaniloko – Birth Of A Nation Moku Ancient Moku A visit with Ke’eaumoku Kapu Kūkulu Kumuhana Kipahulu District of the Haleakala National Park – Moku – Living Aloha Everyday – Maui Hawai’i Free Hawai’i Broadcasting Network Native Soul – The Culture and Aloha of Maui Hawai’i ~ Ahapua’a – Land for the Good of All We’re sons and daughters of God, trying to create heaven on Earth Plant Taro & Find Your Native Roots Haleakala National Park Kipahulu Ke’eaumoku Kapu Explains Torch March: Ka`apuni E Ho`a Kukui Na Moku ‘Aina# Mauka (toward the mountains) and Makai (toward the ocean) are not just directional references; they embody our fundamental natural and cultural resources, land and ocean.

Jacob and I on the Hana Highway through the Ko’olau district to Wahinepe’e as we arrived in Ho’olava – Twin Falls Maui Hawai’i with Ohana and friends. This is one of those rare occasions when I hand my camera to someone nearby and ask them to take a couple of photos, and they actually are in focus! Hui!
