Pilina

Fostering healthy relationships

Creating relationships with intention and sincerity is essential to the health and well-being of our multi-ethnic society. Healthy relationships between Hawai‘i’s ethnic groups, our humanity with our ‘āina and families, communities, and Hawai‘i as a whole is critical to creating thriving islands.

Our Shared Kuleana

Practicing Pilina is part of our shared kuleana (responsibility) and kūlana (role) to care for Hawaiʻi and each other. Watch the video and read more below to consider what this value looks like in daily life, work, and community.

The Hawai‘i’s Soul Framework

The Hawai‘i’s Soul framework describes what it means to live with island consciousness and in a reciprocal relationship with all living things: the ‘āina, ocean, sky, the kānaka who originated from these islands, and all who call Hawai‘i home. Pilina is one of the framework’s core values and offers guidance for how this relationship is practiced. Learn more here.
