Pono is a Hawaiian word commonly rendered as “righteousness“. For instance, the Hawaii state motto: Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono or “The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness”.[1]

  1. nvs. Goodness, uprightness, morality, moral qualities, correct or proper procedure, excellence, well-being, prosperity, welfare, benefit, behalf, equity, sake, true condition or nature, duty; moral, fitting, proper, righteous, right, upright, just, virtuous, fair, beneficial, successful, in perfect order, accurate, correct, eased, relieved; should, ought, must, necessary.
  2. vs. Completely, properly, rightly, well, exactly, carefully, satisfactorily, much (an intensifier).
  3. n. Property, resources, assets, fortune, belongings, equipment, household goods, furniture, gear of any kind, possessions, accessories, necessities.
  4. n. Use, purpose, plan.
  5. n. Hope.

The word has strong cultural and spiritual connotations of “a state of harmony or balance”, and is the aim of the Ho’oponopono practice. Pono is often used as in affirmative prayers, especially within Kanaka Maoli healing arts and the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement.
