These include the speaking and pronunciation for each day of the Hawaiian moon phase, called “Ke Ala o ka Mahina” (The path of the moon).These are ancient Hawaiian wisdom related to the values of Hawaiians in relation to the life, the land, and the ecosystem of Hawaiian and the ancient Hawaiian people. These were passed down from generation to generation to remind people of the value of proper stewardship and caring for the environment around us. Land is an ancestor to Hawaiians and therefore must be cared for, loved, and valued. Hawaiians were always mindful of the earth and worked the land based on the wisdom that the kupuna (ancestors) passed down. One example is to only take and eat what was necessary to survive, and to leave the rest in order for the land and sea to repopulate so that there would be sustenance and food for the future generations to survive and thrive.You can get the PDF downloads on my Teachers Pay Teachers Site – TPT keyword Tracie Keolalani which you can use to teach or to practice so as to remember what you have learned.Pic Credits:1.Opening pic from moon_chuttersnap2.Moon pics from iStock – Elen11
