| The words to this `ölelo no`eau or ancient Hawaiian proverb translates to say, "Profound is the nature of `Äina`ike.” It references a person who is respected for the depth of his or her knowledge. There is a play on words, `eli`eli (profound and deep) and `Äina`ike (“Land of knowledge”). Another cultural perspective is to understand that the intellect of the Hawaiian people is deeply rooted in the antiquity of the land itself. `Äina`ike is also a wahi pana - a special and storied place that is located in the district of Kona here on Kaua`i. Today, Kona is more commonly referred to as the Waimea district. It is the basis of this `ölelo no`eau that motivates our vision that perpetuating the essence of Hawaiian culture is to integrate it back into the lifestyle of the native peoples of these islands. The Ka`ie`ie Foundation is a native Hawaiian non-profit organization whose purpose is to perpetuate customary practices and art forms of Hawai`i through cultural education opportunities. It directly provides support for Hawaiian programs, study and research initiatives of the Kaua`i Heritage Center and Hälau Palaihiwa Kaipuwai.
