Pono Pledge

The Island of Hawai‘i's Pono Pledge

I pledge to be pono (righteous) on the island of Hawai‘i. I will mindfully seek wonder, but not wander where I do not belong. I will not defy death for breathtaking photos, trespass or venture beyond safety. I will mālama (care for) land and sea, and admire wildlife only from afar. Molten lava will mesmerize me, but I will not disrupt its flow. I will not take what is not mine, 
leaving lava rocks and sand as originally found. I will heed ocean conditions, never turning my back to the Pacific. When rain falls mauka (inland), I will remain high above ground, out of rivers and streams. I will embrace the concept of being a steward of the land, revered as my loving chief.


E ‘apo i ke a‘o a ho‘ohana, a e ‘oi mau ka na‘auao.
(Those who apply their teachings increase their knowledge.)
