(Welcome)

n. vast and deep

Like its literal definition in Hawaiian, the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa offers a vast array of opportunities unique as the place we are named for.

In traditional times, Manoa valley was expertly cared for and cultivated by Native Hawaiians. In return, it provided an abundance of sustenance and protection for its residents. Today, Manoa continues to furnish the resources that enable our institution to be a thriving land-, sea-, space-, and sun- grant university. In keeping with the Native Hawaiian manner of reciprocity, these blessings are passed on to you in the form of academic excellence so that you are equipped to take care of yourself, humanity, Hawai‘i, and the world.

WELCOME TO AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE LIKE NONE FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

Aloha

'Āina

Aloha ‘Aina which means, “Love of the land,” is a central idea of the Hawaiian culture. It is the belief that if you love and care for the land, it will care for you.

Enjoy and experience our islands, and remember that Aloha ‘Aina is not only a way of thinking, but a way of life.

Kaua‘i Ni‘ihau O‘ahu Moloka‘i Maui

Lana‘i Kaho‘olawe

Hawai‘i Island

THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I HAS TWO OFFICIAL LANGUAGES: Hawaiian and English

‘Olelo Hawai‘i experienced a dramatic decline in the 20th century due to an English-only policy for all schools in Hawai‘i. Today, Hawaiian is recognized as an official language and the number of those who can speak Hawaiian has grown steadily in homes and in schools.

HAWAIIAN ALPHABET There are only 13 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet:

FLAG OF HAWAI‘I The eight stripes on the Hawaiian flag represents the eight Hawaiian islands.

STATE MOTTO

"Ua mau ke ea o ka ‘āina i ka pono."

"The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."

DID YOU KNOW?

Duke Kahanamoku was a Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) and a five-time Olympic medalist in swimming. He was also the world’s best known surfer, and set the standards of modern day surfing.

Each moku was divided into ahupua‘a (wedge shaped land division extending from mountain to sea), a total of 80 on O‘ahu. The moku and ahupua‘a system were designed for the most efficient food sustainability and land management.

19

Native Hawaiians lived in Hawai‘i for over one hundred generations with various island kingdoms. In 1810, Kamehameha I united all the islands under a single Hawaiian Kingdom.

O‘ahu was divided into six moku (districts). Moku were used to govern the management of underground water resources: Ko‘olaupoko, Kona, ‘Ewa, Wai‘anae, Waialua and Ko‘olauloa.

‘Iolani Palace is the only royal palace in the U.S. and had electricity five years before the White House, and 17 years before Buckingham Palace.

There are two mountain ranges on O‘ahu: Ko‘olau and
