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. © 2009 Fine Art Photography, Research and Photojournalism by Sharon Anne Mau Sharon Mau YouTube Channel Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / 21 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.

On the Whispering Sea Pa’ako Beach / Twilight Makena Maui Hawai’i “To possess good intuition, goodly power, causes work. / It causes work firstly in the watching and comprehending of negative forces and imbalances both inward and outward. / Secondly, it causes striving in the gathering up of will in order to do something about what one sees, be it for good, or balance, or to allow something to die. I will not lie to you; it is easier to throw away the light and go to sleep. For with it, we clearly see all sides of ourselves and others, both the disfigured and the divine and all conditions in between. Yet, with this light the miracles of deep beauty in the world and in humans come to consciousness. With this penetrating light one can see past the bad action to the good heart, one can espy the sweet spirit crushed beneath hatred, one can understand much instead of being perplexed only. This light can differentiate layers of personality, intention, and motives in others. / It can determine consciousness and unconsciousness in self and others. / It is the wand of knowing. / It is the mirror in which all things are sensed. / It is the deep wild nature.” / From The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation ~ Women Who Run With Wolves Featured Art 20 August 2009 / A Place To Call Home / I ke kai Hawanawana ~ Eia ku’u lei Aloha Pa’ako Beach / Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.

For those who have seen “American Beauty” and are into preserving nature and themselves, as complete human beings. Start being a better person and don’t live only for yourself. Recycle your attitude and your trash. This is for the modern hippies.

listen to music. it’s good for you. Get to know your parents, you’ll never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. / (Baz Luhrman – Sunscreen)
