"Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono"
The life(sovereignty) of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.
What does this mean to you as an individual?
I'm thinking back and reading a lot of Hawaiian history, and having trouble seeing how modern people can relate to this. What I mean is, in the motto, is it referring to righteous behavior as following the law(such as the kapu system in the old days) or does it mean that righteousness is in caring for the aina?
