    Im From Puerto Rico, but I'm very passionate about Hawai and its people and traditions .
    I am so happy that traditions are much alive.We have our roots in Hawaiian soil. Many Puertorican left our island to get a better life in Hawaii .
    124 years ago to Maui.
    May no other country ever take away what you decide to preserve.
    Que VIVA HAWAI!!
    SU GENTE Y TRADICIONES.
