The Aina:
   (The Land)

Kohanaiki is a unique and fragile place where the spirits of our ancestors live and our families, friends and children gather to enjoy the natural bounties.

Kohanaiki is the place of origin of the 1995 landmark supreme court victory addressing and recognizing the importance of native Hawaiian gathering rights, human rights and the public trust. The decision preserves and protects Kohanaiki and our irreplaceable cultural and natural resources.

Kohanaiki contains the Hawaiian word 'hanai' which means nurture, feed and sustain. A place known to the Hawaiians as a bountiful gathering place, Kohanaiki continues to raise, nurture and sustain the spirit and lives of our young.
