In 1986, the Hawaii Legislature gave special attention to the word "aloha" and incorporated it into the Hawaii Revised Statutes.

That section is titled the "Aloha Spirit Law".

You can read that law as Hawaii Revised Statutes 5-7.5.

Peter Apo shares his story of how the Spirit of Aloha became law.

Unity and Harmony

Lōkahi is willing to cooperate and collaborate in all we do, knowing that while we may live on an island – we are not islands ourselves. Be open to asking and giving direction as you develop your projects.
