In the past, Native Hawaiians lived in a self-suff In the past, Native Hawaiians lived in a self-sufficient, organized social system based on communal land tenure. Aloha was the currency and shared abundance was the main focus. The system was incredibly sustainable and bonded community members before the overthrow. Our vision is to bring this type of system back, while also integrating a digital component to it (Exchange Ave. app) to connect like-minded individuals and indigenous communities who want to decentralize and decolonize their lifestyles. #decentralizedfinance #decolonizeyourmind #ahupuaa #sustainableeconomy #indigenousknowledge #decentralizedexchange

A BETTER WORLD: With the constant influx of news A BETTER WORLD: With the constant influx of news informing us of what’s going wrong in the world, it can be easy to lose sight of creating a better future. Sure, there are plenty of folks looking at the worst case scenarios for our future, but there are an equal amount of people looking to bring forth decentralized methods of connection & growth to create a better foundation for the future. As we walk through these global ups and downs together, don’t lose sight of who we do this for. The keiki. The ones who came after us that become the next generation of leaders, the next generation of healthcare providers, the next generation of public servants. The ones who come after us that become It is our duty as the current leading generation to create sustainable and accessible systems that will benefit our keiki, not burden them. Our parents and guardians did the best they could, through much trial and error, and now it’s time to do our best to create a more sustainable and safe world for our young ones. #forthekeiki #forthekeikis #abetterworld #forthechildren

TOURISM IN HAWAI’I: part 2 In part 1 we discus TOURISM IN HAWAI’I: part 2 In part 1 we discussed a bit of the history of the Hawai’i that we know today. Here, we explain ways on how you can be a respectful visitor, when and if the time is right. (please Kokua & postpone trips during this sensitive time) •Listen to & respect local regulations. •Learn about the (real) rich culture of Hawai’i. •Avoid Sacred areas or areas that are marked “KAPU” •Look into eco-tourism opportunities and give back to the ‘Āina during your stay. •Donate money to local Hawaiian organizations. •Do a local beach clean up. •Support locally owned businesses and restaurants. •Clean up after yourself indoors & outdoors. •Be smart about when & WHY you visit. Although many regulations are lifting, the islands cannot support the influx of people on the islands. This has been an ongoing issue for decades, but has become more problematic since the pandemic. So If can, please avoid visiting during this sensitive time, and if you have a trip booked already, please consider postponing it for a later date.
