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

HE MAMO AU

He mamo au no Pu’uhuluhulu

I ka malu a o Mauna a Wākea

Mauna ki’eki’e noho i ke kapu

Kapukapu ke aloha a nā kia’i ʻŌ hānau ka mauna a Kea

ʻOpuʻu aʻe ka mauna a Kea (x2)

Kū kia’i mauna me ka lōkahi

Kahi hanohano a nā kūpuna

Pulama mau ‘ia e ka wahine

Poli’ahu ka wahine i kapa hau ʻO Wākea ke kāne, ʻo Papawalinuʻu ka wahine (x2)

Kīlepalepa ka hae i ka makani

E welo mau ana ku’u ha’aheo

Waipuna lau ke aloha kānaka

Eō e Maunakea ku’u ‘āina ē Hānau Hoʻohōkū, he wahine

Hānau Hāloa, he aliʻi (x2) Hānau ka mauna a Kea

He keiki Mauna a Kea (x2) He mamo au no Pu’uhuluhulu

I ka malu a o Mauna a Wākea Eō e Maunakea

I am a descendant of Pu’uhuluhulu

In the protection of Mauna a Wākea

Sacred mountain standing majestically

With the reverent love of the protectors

We must guard the mountain with unity

A honored place of our beloved ancestors

You will forever be treasured by the goddess

Oh Poli’ahu in her blanket of white snow

The Hawaiian flag flutters in the wind

Like the pride that continually waves

The affection from the people abounds

Answer Maunakea, our land to behold
