KA `OHANA-The Family In the Hawaiian culture the bonds of the extended family give rise the the true meaning of the spirit of aloha, a love and graciousness shown toward others. Family is very important and this importance is shown in all parts of island living. Groups of people with a common bond, like hula halaus or canoe clubs, refer to themselves as `ohana. Janet refers to her clients, friends, and paintings as her `ohana.
