Moʻomeheu (Values) are Native Hawaiian cultural values, practices, and skills. Moʻomeheu give meaning to all other core contexts -- Mālama ʻĀina, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, and Moʻolelo; they in turn inform Moʻomeheu. The core contexts are not meant to be standalone pieces for if just one is taken out, the others are not as meaningful. Through education and application of the core contexts, we practice and grow in our understanding of Mālama ʻĀina.
