Meaai is food in Hawaiian, not only were approaching visitors asked in, but they were always invited to eat. Kuleana was known as a person’s responsibilities in the ho‘okipa process this is where the visitor explains their reason for visiting. This was proper etiquette. Lealea refers to the fun, joy, and amusement of ho‘okipa in which locals would partake in pleasant conversation with their guests.

The Hawaiian flag had its grand beginnings as the British Union Jack. Its roots are clearly visible. The Union Jack flags were given to Hawaiian chiefs by Capt. George Vancouver. Later, a visiting American pointed out that the Hawaiians should have their own design, and suggested the addition of 8 stripes to honor the eight major islands that make up the Hawaiian Nation.
