Nā akua, nā 'aumakua, a me nā kūpuna--- ku'u kāhua nō ia.

There are many people to mahalo for their support, conversation, vision and experience.

First and foremost a huge-angous mahalo to my husband, Kaleo, and children, Makali'i, Ho'oipo and Ka'ala, for their love and support through these past 4 years... when I was off on another adventure or being dragged along to accompany me on one of our own. Mahalo for making this vision our families reality.

To my parents, Carlos and Maile, and brothers, Makali'i and Kaimalino, mahalo for how I view and relate to the world.

There are numerous friends and family that I cannot possibly name but there are a number of individuals and groups that have directly affected this project. If I've missed anyone, e kala mai.

My Committee for understanding and supporting this project.

You guys da best. Kimo Armitage (chair), Kalei Nu'uhiwa,

and Pi'ilani Ka'aloa.
