I ka laʻiākea o ka uluhou e māpu mai ai ke ahe lau makani, e pā ʻoluʻolu mai i ka lihilihi o nei makamaka o ka ʻāina. Me ka ua nāulu e kupu ē a ulu ē, lau ē a lālā ē, kumu ē a paʻa ē ka ululāʻau o Hakalau, a lau aʻe a mau loa.
It is with great pride that I write to you all, kuʻu ʻohana, kuʻu kamaliʻi hiwahiwa, nā makamaka o ka ʻāina, with overwhelming support for the enormous endeavors Kualiʻi dreams for this ʻāina, ka Uluhou O Hakalau. Ua pā nō koʻu naʻau i ke ola nō o kona mauli. I am touched by his words of wisdom, I am humbled by his knowledge of pono land management and conservation and I am truly inspired by his vision for a sustainable, rich future for our Hawaiʻi and generations to come.
As the eldest Lindsey kāne of our generation, Kualiʻi has lived up to his name, not just to stand as an aliʻi, but moreover to take on the responsibilities of a beloved aliʻi who will sacrifice all to provide his people with a fulfilling life, ke ola pono, to care for the land as it has cared for us, mālama i ka ʻāina, and to always look to the higher source for enlightment and support, ke ao mālamalama o ka lani keha.
May we continue to be inspired by our ancestors who have come before us, may we remain firm in our aspirations for a prosperous life, may we fulfill our responsibilities to our children to pass on the knowledge that will provide them a firm foundation, grounded in the past with visions for a better future. May we do this always with loving hearts, thoughtful minds, and enlightened spirits.
Alu ka pule i Hakalau ē, ola kākou a mau loa ē!
Kaʻala Fay
