AboutMalia Expertise Aloha,
I can answer I would say about 99 % of all questions relating to Hawai`i.
Experience I work for tour agencies as a tour guide so have a wonderful island experience especially from the view of travelers and newcomers to the islands. I am also a high school language teacher.
Question Hello Malia!! Would you mind translating for me the inscription on the commemorative quarter for Hawaii? It says: Ua mao Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono. THANKS very much.
Answer Aloha,
Here I am :-)
It means: the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness
and it is our state slogan/motto
it means that in order to have a good land=country=population=respect=friends
you need to be pono which means a good person, a person who does the right thing in life, be nice and kind to others, respect yourself, your family, neighbors and friends and be good to the land, the country, because we live on such a small island and need to take care of it
Malia
