The theme of the ʻAha Aloha ʻŌlelo 2018 event is “Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka ʻĀina I Ka Pono” brings to light different perspectives of the meaning of this phrase. This phrase was first proclaimed by King Kamehameha III, Kauikeaouli in front of a large crowd on Hawaiʻi Restoration Day on July 31st, 1843. The King’s proclamation became the national motto of the Hawaiian Kingdom, beloved and endeared by its people.
