Seeing the HOKA store signage at Ala Moana reminded me of how global languages and cultural meaning flows through everyday spaces in Hawai’i. Hoka means “to fly” in Māori, and the bird embedded in the “O” symbolizes movement, freedom, and uplift, ideas that resonate strongly in an island context. Even in a commercial setting, this small linguistic detail carries cultural significance and reflects how Indigenous languages from across the Pacific appear in our public landscape. Standing in line outside the store, I became more aware of how multilingual branding connects communities, introduces shared symbolism, and adds depth to our shopping environment.

This is a card that says “Simon sez act lolo”, “Simon sez make one Shaka”, “Simon sez wiggle yo’ okole” (hwc). Lolo is Hawaiian but written as lōlō which means crazy. Sez is says in English. Yo’ is short for your. Okole is Hawaiian but normally written as ‘Okole which means butt. Shaka is a term that is a symbol of goodbye or hello. This is symbolic-authentic. R.N.

The purpose of the sign is to spread cognizance about the nesting of the Albatrosses to tourists. The sign uses Hawaiian to convey that the Hawaiian language is still being used.

This card says “here’s one bottled water fo’ go with your birthday cake” and there is a bottle that says “local kine tap water, straight from da pipe” (hwc). The first phrase in English means here is a bottled water to go with your birthday cake. And the phrases on the bottle says local tap water, water coming from the faucet. This a humor saying that our tap water is clean so you do not need to get it from bottled water from the store. This is symbolic-authentic. R.N.
