Ua Mau Ke Ea Wall Tag | Hawaiian Saying | Wall Art

Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono. These words attributed to King Kamehameha III, are now the Hawaii State motto. The phrase translates to "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness." It calls on all of us to treat the land with love and respect. Hawaiians believe the land has its own spiritual power (mana) that must be respected. This phrase is one to live by in these times of climate change and environmental degradation. A reminder to respect and love the land. The perfect size for a desk or personal space, this little sign measures 3.75" x 5.75". Itʻs about the size of a postcard: not too big, not too small. The sign has a durable, UV ink applied to a maple plywood base. It is waterproof and mostly bulletproof, though it will probably fade if left in direct sunlight day after day for years. Made on Kauai, made to order.
