Aloha ʻĀina
Aloha Āina, which literally means "love of the land", is a central idea of ancient Hawaiian thought, cosmology and culture. The concept is felt by many people in Hawaii as a locus of ecological and cultural understanding.
==History==
Traditionally, the concept goes back to mythical times, and is illustrated extensively in creation chants such as the Kumulipo, which emphasize the connection between the land and the people. In everyday practice, it embodies a deep passion for the land, as is often demonstrated in songs, hula, stories and lifestyle practices such as farming, which have many celebratory and sometimes sensual elements. As a political term, it came into wide use during the late nineteenth century through the Aloha Āina Party, which transformed into the Home Rule Party of Hawaii in 1900, after the annexation of Hawaii in the last decade of the 19th century. Since that time some connotations of Hawaiian nationalism are associated with the term. Many practitioners, however, assert that Aloha Āina is not itself a political term but rather a tenet of spiritual and cultural understanding which "drives one into action" (George Helm, 1977). These actions may be political, or may simply involve prayer, lifestyle choices and love and respect for the land and sea.
