Friendship in Hawaii
Every culture has its own ways to show friendship.On the islands of Hawaii,friendship is part of the “aloha spirit”.In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled¹ the islands long ago,”aloha” had a very special meaning,that is “to be with happiness”.
Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land,they are ready to love their people or community².This is the second most important sign of friendship.It is called “lokahi” in the Hawaiian language,which means³ “oneness with all people”.
To enjoy the land you should not be selfish⁴.The land was for everyone who lived on it.Today many different peoples call Hawaii their home.Indeed,Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities⁵.Each person gives kakua(help) to other people so that all feel stronger.It is believed that the islands can be a paradise⁶ when people live in peace.People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea.When problems happen,people are asked to solve them with understanding⁷.So when the people of Hawaii talk about ohana(family),they are really talking about all those who live on the islands.
Living in peace,Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship.This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another.The leis a strangeof flowers is put over a friend’s neck.Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek⁸.Visitors to the island are olso given leis.When they hear aloha,visitors begin to feel like home.Aloha also means goodbye.So visitors will hear it again when they leave.It can also mean our heart singing together.Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship.
