‘Ōiwi leaders

Ka Makua

The Provider
As a makua, you are the type of leader to ‘auamo (shoulder/carry) the kuleana you have been given and kuleana you have assumed. You are generous with your time and resources to empower others and teach new skills and perspectives. Your sense of kuleana to provide often causes you to put others before yourself, even if it means working longer hours when getting your own tasks done. As a provider, you wish to make a difference in this world without any expectation of reward. You ‘auamo kuleana you have been given and kuleana you have assumed. You have a heart of pure aloha and show gestures of love through gifts and offerings to those who may need it more than you do. As a result, leaders like these establish trust and respect, creating strong relationships between those they work with!
