KA PAPA
The Foundation of Mana O Kahiko.
Ka Papa is where the work is set in place.
It is the ground upon which everything stands.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ke kumu ma mua o ka lālā.
The foundation is established before the branches.
Nothing moves forward without what is set here.
Before pathway, before depth, before responsibility — there must be ground.

Ka Papa is not a pathway.
It is what comes before all pathways.
Hoʻomākaukau ma mua o ka hele ʻana.
Prepare before moving forward.
