On Earth Day 2022 at sunrise, groups across Hawaii will gather from the highest peaks of Maui’s Haleakala to the shores of Oahu’s eastern coast and at sea, as canoes venture out of Hilo Bay. They will congregate in sacred Hawaiian spaces and places, urban centers and along the coastlines. All will share a chant that will begin at 6:07 am sunrise in paradise.
This event will take place in the following locations:
- O‘ahu E Ala Ē: 5:30 – 6:30 am | Kaloko Inlet, Kaʻiwi State Park* | with Kimeona Kane
- Kaua‘i E Ala Ē: 5 – 5:30 am | Hikina A Kala Heiau by Lydgate Park | with Tommy Noyes

E Ala Ē (translated to awaken to rise) will be led by Hawaiian elders and cultural practitioners from every island. These leaders share Hawaii’s message for all to rise up and awaken to the needs of the planet. For more information including the chant, the public can go to https://www.kanuhawaii.org/e-ala-e-2023/. Participants can attend from home, school or anywhere worldwide.
“The sacred Hawaiian chant is about the sun’s reflection on water that creates a pathway of hope,” says Sage Yamashita, an 18-year old Moloka`i resident and environmental advocate who is coordinating the statewide events. “It’s a chant about renewal. Collectively and actively creating hope is the magic driving E Ala Ē.”
This event is part of Volunteer Month Hawaii in which most events held have an environmental stewardship focus including Hawaii’s largest dive clean up on April 22. Events are part of Hawaii’s involvement in the Aloha+Challenge to meet sustainability goals by 2030 is in response to the Paris Accords, which is an international treaty on climate change.
