Project KULEANA was created by three Native Hawaiian men who share the perspective that KULEANA is what makes music Hawaiian. A KULEANA to the 'āina (land) and our strong ancestral connection to it. Project KULEANA aspires to increase the innate value of Hawaiian music and the performance of it to inspire people to reflect on one's own KULEANA. Project KULEANA seeks to encourage people to re-discover, re-connect and re-instill what Hawaiian music and performers of Hawaiian music represent.

Watching our keiki sing in Hawaiian gives me great joy. Moreover, watching them sing at my grandpa Edward Bailey's house, Hale Ho'ike'ike, is so heartwarming. I loved this entire video.

We are learning the words and accompanying ukulele chords. It is a testament to the Hawaiian peoples that they have taken such a bleak and outrageous wrong and created a wonderful song from it. They have my upmost respect.
My grandfather grew up grow up in Honolulu over 100 years ago and my father was also a Pearl Harbor Survivor, and I have to say watching this brings me to tears thinking of my kupuna
