Ali'i Ai'moku Hā'Mākua Ke'ē'aimokū

HāʻMākua Keʻēʻaimokū is the First Born Son of the First District of Hamakua, whom traces his family’s heritage in the "Breath of God" back thousands of years; principally in the settlements and villages of Waipio Valley (the Valley of the Kings) all through the 7 Sacred Valleys of Hawai'i, Honoka`a, and Namoku "Haina" on the Northeast side of Hawai`i Island. After creating numerous successful businesses on the island, Ha`Makua heard the call back to the traditional ways, back to this heritage.  

The traditional Hawaiian concepts of Ho`oponopono (conflict resolution), Lokahi (unity) and Aloha (love) were instilled in Ha`Makua while a youth; as he watched his grandfather and father’s leadership in activities on the local, island-wide, national and international levels. He learned how to perpetuate Hawai`i’s traditional ahupua`a system – i.e., how to care for and sustain earth’s precious resources. He learned the ways of a konohikinui (navigator), to fish and hunt, to tend cattle, to farm kalo "taro" and la'au lapa'au "medicinal herbs", he gathered and fed people, and ultimately, learned the underlying economic principals and essential elements of life that allows the people to live a pono (righteous) life – without at lot of resources; viewing the concept of “wealth” in terms of resources with the senses of intelligence (be it: natural, intellectual, emotional, or constructed) rather than simply the possession of materialism of financial perception.


Ha`Makua is a Whisper – not just a dog or ghost whisper, the kind that you see on television, but one who read animals, plants, trees, and most of people. He helps to bring peace to one’s self, to families, and to the community at-large by teaching folks techniques based in ancient wisdom on how to live a forgiving life – to forgive themselves and others. He helps keiki "kids" get off drugs and stop abuse of women and even men, children, and alcohol by protecting people – even from themselves. He is able to hone in on what will inspire a person and easily get them on their life’s path. As Ha`Makua says, “When you have inspiration, all the rest comes to you.” He brings the real story out of people and then gets them, seemingly effortlessly, and righteously living their truth with honor and respect for themselves and others.  


Ha`Makua sees himself, in his words, as “the assistant to the janitor”; but this humbleness belies his efforts. Through his life experiences, he went through painful times and witness many of his friend and extended family on a downward path; yet, while on this road, he became a loving spiritual man; feeling “no shame” in teaching and sharing love.  His ultimate goal is na kua a kua – bringing balance – bringing us back to the time when everything from human being to inanimate rock were spiritual connected – to a time when we can all equally receive and take.
