Land is Chief, Mankind is its servant - He Ali'i ka ʻāina ke kauā ke kanaka
This tee was created as a testament to the ultimate Aliʻi—the ʻĀina (Land). It features a high-quality, fashion-forward design and a hand-sketched artistic rendering inspired by one of the sacred stories found in the Kumulipo, the Native Hawaiian creation chant. In this origin story, the land births humanity—we emerge from beneath the earth to walk among the gods. Everything on earth was created before man, and because of this, we are called to honor all of creation as our kupuna (elders). We are the stewards of the land, tasked with caring for it in deep respect and gratitude, for it is the land that allowed us to be born and to live a life here on earth.
Wearing this shirt is a statement—a reflection of your rooted commitment to the true source of life. The land is not just soil and stone—it is a living, breathing being, our mother and our father. There was a time when Native Hawaiians were so connected to the ʻāina that it became an extension of their body, their power, and their spirit. It is through reconnecting with the land and studying the Kumulipo that we will find our way back to that sacred balance. So wear this shirt with pride. Walk with intention. Spend time in nature. Teach others who the true Aliʻi is—and honor the land as it has always honored us.
This shirt is versatile and stylish companion for all your casual appearances. With its uniquely textured, thick, microfiber-knit fabric, this t-shirt bears a premium, soft feel that remains lightweight and highly breathable – the perfect combo for a hot day or layering.
