about

Reflection by Pua Case
I am the seventh generation of those who came before me and I am the first generation of those who will follow me to ensure the lineage, language, and traditions of the Kānaka Maoli continue on. The responsibility that we have to every place, everything and everyone in our genealogical lineage determines the manner in which we move forward in all that we do for Hawaiʻi. As our kūpuna(ancestors)did for us, we do the same for the next seven generations. We carry on in their footsteps. Indeed, we’re still here.

lyrics

7th Generation Nation
Written by Pua Case

Oh I come from a long line, a long line, a long time ago
Who followed the bright star, the light star, the right star this we know
You might think that I come from a race, been displaced, no land base
But I say that I come from this land
Iʻm in command, this I know

Chorus
Weʻre still here ʻcause the grandmothers holding ground
Weʻre still here ʻcause the grandfathers all around
Weʻre the 7th Generation Nation
And weʻre not going down
Weʻre the 7th Generation Nation
And weʻre not going down

[Hoʻokumu ka lani - Traditional Chant; attributed to Aima Nawahi and Albert Like]

Liberation from annexation
Reconciliation

Chorus

A ola ka lāhui o Hawaiʻi nei(Maythe life of the Hawaiian Nation live on)
A ola ka lāhui o Hawaiʻi nei(Maythe life of the Hawaiian Nation live on)
ʻO Hawaiʻi nei
ʻO Hawaiʻi nei
ʻO Hawaiʻi nei
