No Mauna a Wākea is a collaboration between friends Jonah K. Solatorio, Holeka Inaba, Pat and Scarlet Eskildsen, who came together for one common cause
to honor, support and create awareness for Mauna Kea located on Hawai'i Island.
Beyond Mauna Kea's significance to our culture and people in the current day, it serves as a beacon of unification for the people of Hawai'i. Mauna Kea is a catalyst for greater awareness and caring for our sacred places across our pae ʻāina. No matter how much or how little you have committed to the movement of aloha ʻāina, we each have a kuleana and a way to kōkua causes like this. This mele serves as a makana to our kanaka both near and far who care for our honua. ~Holeka Inaba
