Instilling a “Hawaiian” sense of being
Ho‘omau is central to the Hawaiian philosophy
of unity and perseverance. According to Mary Kawena Pukui and

forward through impending adversity and to have the courage
to remain faithful in the wake of ruin. HPU’s Lynette
Cruz embodies this very Hawaiian concept. [More]
