Values: are those things that really matter to each of us ... the ideas and beliefs we hold as special. Caring for others, for example, is a value; so is the freedom to express our opinions.
Hawaiian Translation: Nā waiwai Hawai‘i
Example
Shoes on the lanai.
Hawaiians feel that each person is only a part of the whole. Being a good member of your ‘ohana is most the most important thing. Native Hawaiian stress the interconnectedness of people and the land.
Wili says, "The importance of ‘ohana is a value that guides how I live my life: how I speak to my grandma, how I care for my brothers and sisters, how I share food with my neighbors."
