O 'Mauna Kea ko kakou kuahiwi la'a-- "Mauna Kea, our sacred mountain." The 4,205-meter Mauna Kea, Hawaii's tallest volcano, is sacred in native Hawaiian religion and may not be encroached upon. Native Hawaiians believe that it is the sacred resting place of their ancestors and the gods and therefore inviolable.
「O ' Mauna Kea ko kakou kuahiwi la ' a」──「毛納基峰，我們的聖山」，這句夏威夷原住民語，說明了這座高達 4,205 公尺的夏威夷第一高峰，在他們的傳統信仰中有著不可侵犯的崇高地位。
