Album Notes

(from Peter Apo)
The Hawaiian word `aina is most commonly used to mean land but it has a broader, less used meaning which translates to that which feeds -- or a source of nourishment and sustenance. I intend that `aina, in the context of this collection of songs, might strike a chord as a source of nourishment and sustenance for all who support the native Hawaiian Renaissance which had its auspicious beginning in the mid 1970s.

These songs are a deliberate mix of themes that collectively speak to our stewardship responsibility for our unique quality of life. They also serve as messages of advocacy in support of native Hawaiians who continue to struggle for their dignity but also stride confidently into the future in full celebration of our culture.
