Aloha mai kākou,
As I enter my second year as Pelekikena, it gives me great pleasure and honor to serve as a leader for the Nā Wāhine O Kamehameha, Heiau O Māmalahoa, Helu ‘Elua. We, nā wāhine, of this society, graciously embrace the oath taken of Lōkahi, Kūpa’a and Aloha, while also supporting our Royal Order of Kamehameha I.
We will continue to perpetuate and strengthen our traditions and culture as we move forward (I Mua). We will strive and to continue to be the light of the Hawaiian people through benevolent work and good moral standing.
I believe we are here not by mistake, but by the calling of our kūpuna, or ancestors. There is always a reason for the unknown to be known. If you are interested or perhaps need further information, please do not hesitate to reach out. He ʻiʻini nui koʻu e kōkua aku.
May our heavenly father who loves us unconditionally, and by His grace
and mercy, we give Him all the glory and praise, in His precious name,
Iesu Kristo.
Me ke aloha pumehana e ke Akua,
