“Awe is my favorite Hawaiian word. The wake of a ship appears as a thin thread and can be detected for hundreds of miles. A lingering fragrance can be an awe. The common aspect of these examples is that an awe connects the object to its source. ʻŌlelo Âé¶¹´«Ã½ is an awe for many of us, connecting us to our home, our work, even our purpose.”

Lilinoe Andrews, curriculum specialist, University of Âé¶¹´«Ã½– West Oʻahu
