Beat the Pacific Northwest chill with our exclusive dark navy blue beanie featuring this year's convention theme, "Kahe Ka Wai I Hoʻokahi Pilina." Whether you're exploring Portland, gathering with fellow delegates, or heading to convention sessions, this cozy beanie is the perfect way to stay warm while representing the lāhui. Theme breakdown: “Kahe Ka Wai I Hoʻokahi Pilina” Provided by Nā Lei Makalapua, Mainland Council of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. Kahe ka wai – the water flows i ho’okahi pilina – into/within one relationship, one interconnected bond. The phrase carries a deeper, poetic meaning beyond literal translation, pointing to the idea that water is the medium through which relationships are formed, sustained, and unified. Through the flow of water, our moʻokūʻauhau, stories, and ʻike continue to travel, reminding us that distance does not diminish our connection. Instead, water weaves together our past, present, and future, strengthening the bonds of our lāhui and serving as both a physical and spiritual thread of shared identity, responsibility, and aloha.
