This year’s theme for Lā Kūʻokoʻa is E kū ana ka paia, which is a line from Kapihe’s prophesy, E Iho Ana o Luna.
Kapihe was a prophet and contemporary of Kamehameha ʻEkahi. In the aforementioned prophecy, E Iho Ana o Luna,
Kapihe foretold the challenges to our ʻāina and our country. The last line, “E kū ana ka paia” means stand as one, “The walls
shall stand.” This short four-line chant is adapted from David Malo’s Hawaiian Antiquities.The message of this four-line chant is
no matter what challenges and adversities we face, do not give up. We stand together like a wall for our Lāhui. Mai hāʻawi pio.
The Let’s persevere.
