Land Acknowledgement

As a resident of Kailua Kona, Hawai'i, I respectfully acknowledge that I live and conduct business on the ancestral lands of the Native Hawaiian people. The Kailua Kona area sits within the traditional lands of the Kanaka Maoli, who have stewarded these lands and waters for generations. I recognize the deep and enduring connection of the Kanaka Maoli to this land, its natural resources, and its rich cultural heritage. 

As I work, live, and thrive in this community, I commit to understanding, respecting, and supporting the ongoing efforts of the Native Hawaiian people to preserve their language, culture, and care for the ‘Aina. May I walk humbly, with gratitude and appreciation for this land and its original caretakers, striving for harmony and mutual respect in all our endeavors.
