I. Hoʿopono Mamo – to set a pono path for our precious keiki (Aunty Vanda’s name for the CCI)
Mamo is a yellow flower that refers to a child who has passed away prematurely when the term is used in Native Hawaiian genealogy. It shares the name “mamo” with a bird that was prized for its yellow tail-feathers, used to make the feathered cloak of the ali‘i (ruling chiefs). The bird has become extinct. The mamo is symbolic of how precious the lives of our children are. Hoʿopono means to set a right path. It is important for us to be intentional to malama this name and one another; the process we’re in will determine the outcome we accomplish.
