Aloha okina ina , which literally means love of the land , is a central idea of ancient Hawaiian thought, cosmology and culture. The concept is felt by many people in Hawaii Hawai okina i as a locus of ecological and cultural understanding. History Traditionally, the concept goes back to mythical times, and is illustrated extensively in creation chants such as the Kumulipo , which emphasize the connection between the land and the people. In everyday practice, it embodies a deep passion for the land, as is often demonstrated in songs, hula , stories, and regular lifestyle practices such as farming, which have many celebratory, and sometimes sensual, elements. As a political term, it came into wide use during the late nineteenth century through the Aloha Aina Party Aloha okina ina Party , which transformed into the Home Rule Party of Hawaii in 1900, after the annexation of Hawai okina i in the last decade of the 19th century. Since that time some connotations of Hawaiian nationalism have often been associated with the term. Many practitioners, however, assert that Aloha okina ina is not itself a political term but rather a tenet of spiritual and cultural understanding which drives one into action George Helm , 1977 . These actions may be political, or they may simply involve prayer, lifestyle choices, and deep love and respect for the land and sea. Hawaiian Renaissance During the Hawaiian Renaissance of the 1970s, the term again came into common use, and a strong social movement arose based upon it. Land struggles were the locus of this movement, which brought together ecological principles, ancient practices, historical interests, demilitarization peace concepts, and Hawaiian sovereignty movement Hawaiian Sovereignty claims. The pinnacle of the 1970s Aloha okina ina movement came in 1976 77, with the occupation of the island of kahoolawe Kaho okina olawe by the group PKO Protect Kahoolawe Ohana Protect Kaho okina olawe okina Ohana .
