A Hawaiian proverb: Nana I Ke Kumu / Look to the Source “The saying ‘Nana I Ke Kumu’ was used often by our ancestors as a means of educating the youth to seek answers from the elderly people around them that had the answers to many of their questions. It also meant that one must study nature itself with all its wisdom that is portrayed in the forest and streams, the ocean with all its life and the air that keeps it alive.” – Charles Kauluwehi Maxwell Sr. “Uncle Charlie"
