We Are Mauna Kea Aloha Aina Ku Kia'i Mauna: Hawaiian Pride Journal / Notebook / Diary Gift - 6"x9" - 120 Pages - White Lined Paper - Matte Cover

This journal was published by Hawaii Publishing in 2019, emerging during the peak of the movement to protect Mauna Kea from the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope. The title Ku Kia'i Mauna, which translates to guardians of the mountain, reflects the deep connection between the Hawaiian people and their sacred ancestral lands. The notebook was designed to serve as a practical outlet for supporters of the Aloha Aina movement to document their reflections, activism, and community experiences.

The design of the item utilizes a matte cover intended to evoke a minimalist and respectful aesthetic, focusing on the symbolic power of the slogan rather than elaborate graphic design. As a product of the late 2010s activist climate, it sits at the intersection of stationery culture and cultural documentation, providing a physical space for practitioners of aloha aina to preserve the narrative of their resistance and their devotion to the mountain.
