To me, Mālama Honua means to take care of the earth. To take care of the earth means to not destroy it and to do things that can benefit the world rather than mess it up. We can help to clean up the environment so that there is not rubbish all over the place. We can use things that are more natural so there is not more pollution from machines and factories. Overall, I think mālama honua is just to make the world a better place and not doing things that will eventually kill the land.
Some events in my life that helped shape a mālama honua mindset is in school when we learn about how the land takes care of us and we come from the land. Its the whole world that is involved so we have to take care of everything. If we as people don’t do our part in taking care of this world, it will eventually die. Also, even if everyone is separated into different countries, the whole world is still involved somehow. Everyone will be affected. If everyone takes care of everyone and everything, or at least tries to, then we can try to make the world a better place. For example, if we buy groceries from the store, many times it is from someplace else. If something happens to the place that the food comes from, we may not have access to that product anymore.
As a student in Mālama Honua, an asspiration I have is to make a difference. To learn about our world and communities we come from so that we can make it better. I hope to learn about places all over the world as well, and see how it all connects and how everyone can make a difference by working together. I want to learn about our culture, of course, and how it connects to how we as a people can make the world a better place.
Aloha ʻĀina means to love the land, and to me it means that we have to love and care for our land. Our food, resources, and many more things come from the ʻāina. If we dont aloha it, then we won’tbe able to have access to all of those things in the future. Aloha ʻāina is also like caring for our kūpuna, I think. What we learn in school, and from moʻolelo, is that we come from the ʻāina. If our generation does not take care of the land like how we are supposed to be, then the land will no longer care for us. It is a cycle and we all have our own responsibility to care for it, and keep it going.
Aloha ʻĀina relates to Mālama Honua because we it is both like caring for and loving our land and where we live. I think Mālama Honua is more diverse because that can include the ocean as well. Aloha ʻāina just tells us about the ʻāina and land, but honua is the whole earth and everything. They do relate because everything is connected. We cannot just take care of the land and not the ocean, or vice versa.
