For the first time in a long while, the voices of the World’s
Indigenous Peoples are rising, and being heard. If we are
able to listen with our ‘whole selves’ we begin to feel the
resonance, and the truth of this movement. It is a cry to
each of us to come back to our true nature, to remember
what feeds us, nurtures us, bathes us. We are being asked
to remember our Mother, on whose soil we live out our
days. How could anything else have greater priority?
Standing Rock brings us face to face with the Indigenous
World View — something the western mind has termed
“primitive”. Aboriginal People close to their traditions, hold
wisdom more powerful than our greatest inventions.
Knowing themselves as Nature, they have access to the
infinite, unified field. Their message to all, is that we, too,
can live this way. We can, if only for a moment, drop our
learned definitions and feel the motions of the river, the
solid mana (energy) of the land, and the movement of
the wind in our bodies. In the experience of Creation,
we are able to meet Life, and from this recognition, act
in alignment with Life. If we can begin to shift our origin
point back to the inherent Life in all things, we too will
reverberate in the realm of the Sacred.
Remembering our essence, in this paradigm, is not a
mental exercise, it is a revelation of awareness that fills
every cell and propels us into action. We are being called
upon to meet the social, environmental and personal Psychic Channel Medium
‘crises’ of this age with the power of Spirit moving through
our thoughts, words and actions. This does not mean
preaching about what is right and wrong. In this paradigm,
it means reaching out beyond our belief systems, with Liah Howard
that which connects, regenerates and heals. For Western practicing since 1988
culture, this is a new Paradigm. For Native People, it is the
Wisdom of the Ancients. It is time for us to relinquish our
western mind perception, and become humbled in the
presence of our Aboriginal brothers and sisters. Their voice
is the voice of the Heart. It is the sound of Humanity’s true
recognition, and it is the song that will sing us Home.

Perhaps this is just a utopian idea that we may never see, but we cannot

ability to renew herself. Everyone I interviewed, both young and old, felt
that it is not too late to turn things around. They each cited examples of
alternative energy sources and innovative ideas for sustainability. We have
to remember that each of us truly does make a difference in our world. For

“ Raising animals for food is the single greatest human-caused source of destruction to our
environment. it is the largest source of greenhouse gases, land use and degradation; the
number one source of water pollution and rainforest deforestation. it’s also a major contributor
to air pollution, ocean dead zones, habitat loss, and species extinction. And when we include
all the resources that go into raising animals for food—the land, fertilizers, pesticides and
by Melani Ellis insecticides, fossil fuels and freshwater—animal agribusiness is shockingly inefficient and a

a little piece of PARADISE
Leilani Farm Sanctuary on the island of Maui is a little
piece of paradise vibrant with joy. Here, nearly 300 rescued
animals have found their home, after being saved from
lives of suffering. The contentment these animals feel is
written all over their faces, and it’s a place that will make
a soft-hearted human shed tears, in gratitude that their
precious lives have been saved, in appreciation for people
like Laurelee Blanchard, the founder of the sanctuary, and for
the contribution of the volunteers and donors who keep this
place running so smoothly.
The stunningly gorgeous 8-acre refuge is home to a variety
of animals who have been rescued from neglect or abuse, or
were orphaned, including many farm animals: cats, chickens,
a cow, deer, dogs, donkeys, ducks, geese, goats, guinea
pigs, pigs, rabbits, sheep, turkeys, and tortoises, who all live
peacefully together as one family.
The sanctuary offers humane education to the community,
largely by offering donation-based bi-weekly farm tours.
“Our goal is to awaken the compassion in every visitor.

one doesn’t expect farm animals to act, people are inspired to
take the next step toward a cruelty-free lifestyle by adopting

tasty vegan food with a
focus on local sustainability
by Living Aloha Staff
Malia Smith opened Ai Love Nalo last
August with two goals: to serve up local,
organic, healthy, and tasty meals, while
supporting local farmers who practice
sustainable farming methods.
Smith grew up on her grandmother’s farm in Nanakuli, “her
farm was sustainable way before anyone even knew what
sustainability was. It was just a natural part of simple, island
living”, says Smith.
Chefs Michael Whalen and Katie Dobkin were determined
to develop meals that could be enjoyed by meat-eaters, as
well as vegans and vegetarians. Take the “Oh Wow LauLau”
plate, which wraps slow-cooked local vegetables in luau
leaves, and is served with tofu poke. Whalen developed the
dish using his aunt’s traditional recipe. Their tofu is coated vegan hills hawaii.

The restaurant utilizes zero-waste practices, providing
compostable to-go containers for a 50-cent fee, plus
compostable napkins, utensils, cups and straws, and uses
ecologically friendly cleaning materials.
They are showing that they can create business models
that emulate natural systems where there is no such thing
as waste. It’s all part of Smith’s vision to cultivate a warm,
welcoming community-oriented space that feeds both the
body and soul.

by Carlos Garcia Maha’ulepu Valley.
Their latest challenge has been responding to the proposed large industrial scale dairy, operated by Hawaii Dairy Farms (HDF), that
wants to bring 2,000 dairy cows to a 557 acre parcel less than a mile from the coastline. The white sand beaches and coral reefs of
Maha’ulepu are currently free of any development. The proposal to operate a large industrial dairy, where 2,000 cows will be grazed
on just 18-24 acres per day (83 cows per acre), will result in at least 200,000 lbs. of untreated wet manure being left daily on the clay
soils found on the farm site, just 6/10th of a mile upslope from the beautiful Maha`ulepu Beach and Southshore coastline. HDF’s plan
is to “mob” graze the cows in fenced paddocks without any shelter in temperatures that range from 68-104 degrees Fahrenheit.
Friends of Maha’ulepu have worked diligently with both
government officials and the proposed industrial dairy (HDF),
presenting specific facts that support the serious environmental
Reiki
disaster and dramatic quality of life changes likely if the
proposed industrial dairy is allowed to operate in Maha’ulepu
Valley. Friends of Maha’ulepu is committed to taking all steps Reiki
necessary to assure that HDF does not operate their proposed
industrial dairy at Maha’ulepu. HDF should find a site that
does not threaten rich native Hawaiian cultural practices and
archeological sites; a fragile environmental ecosystem that is
home to endangered and threatened plant and animal life, not
to mention the clear threat to the Southshore community’s
health and well being from the volume of toxic waste which will
be deposited onto pastures less than 800 feet from the County
Wells that provide the drinking water for all of Po’ipu and most
of Koloa.
HDF’s proposal is based in part on a New Zealand model they
claim to emulate, but that model has been found responsible
for a nationwide pollution problem there.

Living Aloha Magazine’s plan is to spread Aloha to the world. We are adding the

building our distribution. After distributing there we confirmed that it was the right
choice. Living healthy and compassionately is a big thing for Pacific Northwesterners.
OREGOn—Portland
Portland has a vegetarian pedigree that stretches back to the late 1800’s when members of the Seventh-
day Adventist Church, who adhere to strict health and dietary rules, began to settle here. Portland already
had four vegetarian eating establishments by the start of the 20th century and has a long history of
supporting alternative lifestyles.
In 2007, four vegan business owners created what is unofficially called the Vegan Mini Strip Mall. With
similar ethics they all took over a small building in Portland.
