ʻIolana [ee-oh-lah-nah] is a Hawaiian word meaning “the soaring hawk". It specifically references the hawk that majestically floats above the islands of Hawaiʻi. Rather than fighting the powerful trade winds, this hawk gracefully soars using the strong force of the surrounding wind to propel itself even higher. ʻIolana represents the strength and resiliency we have within us; it symbolizes the grit, the tenacity and the heart that empowers us to soar to ever-growing heights regardless of our context or circumstances.
