Kalo
I chose Kalo (taro) as the symbol for my campaign because it mirrors my heritage and values: and represents my Hawaiian roots, my ancestors, my ʻohana, sustainability, regrowth, and purity.
Kalo is a sacred plant, representing abundance, fertility, and a divine connection between the land and its people.
Integrated into Hawaiian legends and mythology, Kalo represents the birth of the Hawaiian islands and the origin of the Hawaiian people.
As we strive to sustain our culture, land and people, Kalo is the ultimate symbol for sustainability. There is no waste, all parts of the plant are used, including the roots and leaves that are cooked and eaten, and the stalk is replanted to ensure the plant will continue on to the future.
