Part of Hawaiian culture, ohana means family (in an extended sense of the term, including blood-related, adoptive or intentional). The concept emphasizes that families are bound together and members must cooperate and remember one another. The term is similar in meaning and usage to the New Zealand Māori term ''whānau'', and its cognate in Māori is kōhanga, meaning "nest". In Hawaiian, the word ohana begins with an ʻokina, indicating a glottal stop. The root word ohā refers to the root or corm of the ''kalo'', or taro plant (the staple "staff of life" in Hawaii), which Kanaka Maoli consider to be their cosmological ancestor. In contemporary Hawaiian economic and regulatory practice, an "ohana unit" is a part of a house or a separate structure on the same lot that may contain a relative but which may not be rented to the general public.〔() 〕〔() 〕〔() 〕 Ohana is a key theme in Disney's 2002 film, ''Lilo & Stitch'', and throughout its accompanying franchise. ==See also== *Aloha *Ubuntu - a South African concept 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ohana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
