| The words to this `olelo no`eau or ancient Hawaiian proverb translates to say, profound is the nature of `Aina`ike.” It references a person who is respected for the depth of his or her knowledge. There is a play on the words, `eli`eli (profound and deep) and `Aina`ike (“Land of knowledge”). Another cultural perspective is to understand that the intellect of the Hawaiian people is deeply rooted in the antiquity of the land itself. `Aina`ike is also a wahi pana - a special and storied place that is located in the district of Kona here on Kaua`i. Today, Kaua`i's Kona district is more commonly referred to as Waimea. It is the basis of this `olelo no`eau that continues to motivate our vision and and purpose of perpetuating the essence of Hawaiian culture. The Ka`ie`ie Foundation is a native Hawaiian non-profit organization whose purpose is to perpetuate customary practices and art forms of Hawai`i through cultural education opportunities. It directly provides support for Hawaiian programs, study and research initiatives of the Kaua`i Heritage Center and Halau Palaihiwa Kaipuwai. |
