Aloha 'oe to a great activist and a great Hawaiian, Marion Kelly. [View all]

Tonight's service at Church of the Crossroads looked like a forest, with koa trees, ohia lehua, and huge hapu'u fern forming a kipu'u.

The lovely and brilliant Marion Kelly was a steadfast progressive and will be missed very much. From Malama Makua, protesting the wars, protecting the environment, Save our Surf, nurturing the young Pacific Island graduate students for generations, and being a beacon of ku'e (resistance) for her whole life, she is loved. For her brilliant academic and field research on this aina, she is respected and cherished.

Aloha 'oe, Marion. The room was filled with people who hold you in their hearts.

That is how to inspire and move change in this world. Ku'e!
