Information About

Hawaii Aloha




Hawai‘i Aloha is typically sung in both small and large, formal and informal gatherings in Hawai‘i while standing in a circle with joined hands. It is considered a vital feature at the inauguration of the Governor Of Hawai‘i , who is called Ke Kia‘aina, and the opening sessions of the Hawai‘i State House Of Representatives and Hawai‘i State Senate . Traditionally, the last verse and chorus is sung with all hands raised above heads. The act of raising hands is most especially important to advocates of the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement .
