ALU
LIKE, a term used frequently in Hawaii during the
1800s
(as reflected in the earlier Hawaiian language newspapers
and revived for this special program) means “striving
(working) together”. We received our name from Kupuna
Mary Kawena Pukui, and our motto:
"E alu
like mai kākou, e nā`ōiwi o Hawai`i" "Let
us work together natives of Hawai`i" |
from Kupuna
Edith Kanakaole. ALU LIKE Inc. continues to support
the forward movement of Native Hawaiians in today’s
ever-changing world. ALU LIKE, Inc. has 238 employees and
