For those who are interested in our culture, this is a very good explanation, albeit lengthy. Presentation by Kaleikoa Ka'eo, also explains the Kumulipo, and the history of the Hawaiian people and our land.

Kaleikoa Kaeo comes from Ihikapalaumaewa (an ancient name for Maui) and is perhaps the most influential and inspirational Hawaiian philosopher and speaker of our time. A long time activists for many different Hawaiian issues, Kaleikoa is also an associate professor of Hawaiian Studies at the UH Maui College. Chalkier was a lecturer in Hawaiian Language at UH Manoa, a teacher at King Kekaulike Hawaiian Immersion High School as well as the culture and education program manager for the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission. Tonight he speaks on the topic of Aloha Âina 'Oia i'o.

This is the closest lecture to what our (my ohana) Kupuna taught us (not including his position re: TMT on Mauna a Wakea/Mauna Kea). He is also entertaining, and very well read. For what it's worth.
JMO.
P.S. I hesitated in posting this due to the continued, and escalating "snark" on PW these days. However, if we're going to discuss Hawaiian culture, it would behoove all of us to be educated as to what we are debating and discussing. Mahalo.
