Our Partners & Resources
ʻAʻohe hana nui ke alu ʻia.
No task is too big when done by all.
We do not walk alone. Cultural practitioners, historians, artisans, and Christian leaders keep this work honest, checking our names, our patterns, and our claims against the sources. This page holds the people and the texts we walk with.

The references behind the First Drop story. Tap any to open.
Kinohibeginning, origin
The name Ka Baibala Hemolele gives the Book of Genesis: “I kinohi hana ke Akua i ka lani a me ka honua” (Kinohi 1:1). The drop where everything starts.
Lōkahiunity, harmony, balance
Three relationships held whole: Ke Akua, ʻāina, kānaka. The test every decision passes before it ships.
Galatia 5:25the verse that named us
“A i noho kākou ma ko ka ʻUhane, e hele hoʻi kākou ma ko ka ʻUhane.” From Ka Baibala Hemolele, 1839.
Pō → Aonight into light
The movement from pō (origin, night) into ao (day). Referenced with reverence; it resonates with, but is not, the sacred Kumulipo, which we honor at a distance and never reproduce or retell.
Block printcarved wood, pressed by hand
The Lōkahi mark is block printed from a carved wood block and pressed by hand on the upper back of every shirt, one press at a time. No two are exactly alike.
