My Interest In Hawaiian Language

Once compare myself, I am completely different between I who just began to learn Hula and I who learn Hula deeply. For example, I did not know Hawaiian language, I did not like sewing, and I could not remember and understand the name of place, plants, and birds that came from the song. But now, I am really interested in Hawaiian language, I can sew my stuffs, and I know some place names, plants names, and bird names. This change is not only about Hula, it had an impact on my life and my values. I was not interested in protecting the nature that we connected and coexisted, but now I want to live together and respect for nature. Food that I eat and things that I wear have changed. After I came to Hawaiʻi, I always use or buy as much as possible
