Shared with a group of Hawaiʻi filmmakers, the session centers on the teachings of Aunty Pilahi Paki and the stories that shaped his life. He reflects on being 13 years old in 1976, going on a walk with Aunty Pilahi and learning the values that would guide his way of thinking. He explore the meaning behind ALOHA: Akahai (meaning kindness to be expressed with tenderness), Lokahi (unity, to be expressed with harmony), Oluolu (agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness), Haahaa (humility, to be expressed with modesty), and Ahonui (patience, to be expressed with perseverance).\n\nUncle Pono also shares the story of the two canoes - the physical voyage of Hokulea and a second, spiritual canoe with no map; he describes ALOHA itself as the vessel for this journey. Aunty Pilahi once said to him, “I’m not going to teach you how to speak Hawaiian, Iʻm going to teach you how to think Hawaiian.” This episode offers a glimpse into what that means, grounded in her prophecy: \"“The world will turn to Hawaii as they search for world peace because Hawaii has the key… and that key is aloha.\" Mahalo nui loa for listening. \n\nEpisode Highlights\n\n02:39 The Star Compass\n\n11:39 1961 - Aunty Pilahi Pakiʻs story, the \"librarian\" of Hawaii's secrets\n\n17:53 1976 - Pono Shim's story with Aunty Pilahi at age 13\n\n30:00 Aunty Pilahi Paki's ALOHA  - Ahonui, Lokahi, Oluolu, Haahaa, Akahai\n\n40:40 Stories as laau lapaau (medicine)\n\n41:24 2018 - Navigators and Peace Seekers\n\n45:19 1976 - The Two Voyages: synchronicity with Hokulea and Nainoa Thompson\n\nFirst canoe: Physical waa - the manifestation of awakening and recovery\nSecond canoe: Spiritual waa - the walk, the talk, ha, and no instruction manual. \"ALOHA is the largest voyaging canoe in the world\"\n\n49:40 Two objectives in every story\n\n50:30 \"Weʻre not a project, we're the resource\" \n\nMore ALOHA Resources:\n\nPono Shim Videos and Presentations\nFoundation of Aloha with Education Incubator"}
