This picture was taken in Down to Earth in Kapolei (retail domain). A sign lists Hawaiian values and their meaning to the Down to Earth corporation. It is displayed in the deli/beverage section of the grocery store. Not many tourists go grocery shopping in Kapolei, so it must be for local people to see. The implied message is that Down to Earth’s business model is supported by Hawaiian values. (SM) Multilingual Hawaiʻi

This is a card that says “Minahs brah”, “Shaka, brah”, “laydahs, brah”, and “What, brah” (hwc). This is a card that is using humor. Because brah does not mean bra it is short for braddah which means “brother” in English. Minahs is minor; to locals it also means “it is not a big deal”. Laydahs is later. This is symbolic-authentic.

This photo was taken at the Down to Earth grocery store in Kapolei. It says the state motto and it’s common English translation, which both have many interpretations. Many interpret the phrase as advocating for sovereignty. The domain is retail, so the company may be trying to brand themself as a positive contribution to Hawaii. SM Multilingual Hawaiʻi
