Pilialoha Haverly, an alumna from Laie who studied secondary education, explained when creating leis, “You took from the land so you’re gonna give back to the land. Traditionally you don’t throw away your lei, but you give it back to the ‘aina.”

“You have to have the right na’au when you make a lei. The right heart, the right spirit. You can’t be angry or grumpy or not want to make it. If you do, the lei is not going to turn out very well.”
