“Ohana” is a Hawaiian word that means “family.” It encompasses not only immediate family members but also extended family and close friends. In Hawaiian culture, the concept emphasizes the importance of unity, support, and love among all members of the family, regardless of blood relations. The idea of ohana is often highlighted in various forms of media, such as the animated film Lilo & Stitch, where the phrase “Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten” is a central theme. This reflects the deep cultural value placed on connection and togetherness in Hawaiian society.
