HAWAIIAN VALUES
Aloha.
Brian’s father, Buffalo Keaulana, is a great Hawaiian who taught him many things about the world and about himself. Buffalo is a knowledgeable and skilled man who is deeply rooted in Hawaiian Culture and shows kindness towards anybody from anywhere. You will see on this page a list of Hawaiian Values that Brian has chosen. Brian can easily think of his father no matter which Hawaiian Value he picks here. He’d like us to remember to always value life and one another.
