My island is fragile and endangered! Our cultural values will disappear if we don't nurture them. I ask that you share with me the caring of the aina (land) that I have been born to, I ask for your appreciation as you come to enjoy the hospitality of my cultural practices and history. I ask that you help to ensure these gifts for my grandchildren, their great grandchildren and all people of the world for the future.
