Mana Wahine is an offering of aloha in honor of the divine feminine, of the Grandmothers throughout time that lived and loved so that we could manifest in this realm in this time. A dedication to the mothers, sisters, beloveds, and dear friends who guide and walk with us on our journeys - to all mana wahine who show up and speak up to protect the rights of mother earth and all of the divine Goddesses of this land. She lifts this song from the depths of her womb and heart with love and deep reverence.

This song was written by Hāwane on the frontlines of the 2015 Protect Mauna Kea stand honoring the strength and resilience of all of the protectors who stood with courage in a, “firm commitment to what is pono - to what is just and true.” The words Kū Kiaʻi Mauna, meaning, to stand strong like the mountain and embody the protection of the mountain are repeated throughout the song with the intention to encourage and inspire. This is a tribute to the strength, courage, and resilience of all people who show up, stand up, and speak up to protect the sacred.

Itʻs Everything was written by Chelsey Dickson as a gift of poetry to Hāwanes mother Pua Case. Upon hearing the words in the form of song, Hāwane felt called to honor the genealogy of the mountain and the Goddesses of snow and water in the language of her people and wove them with Chelseyʻs beautiful expression of aloha. “Mauna Kea is everything we stand for.”
