Rangers are an integral part of keeping the parks history traditions going |
The Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park aims to preserve Native Hawaiian culture by revitalizing Hawaiian traditions and hiring interpretive rangers.{{Cite web |title=Cultural Resource Preservation - Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (U.S. National Park Service) |url=https://www.nps.gov/havo/learn/historyculture/cultural-preservation.htm |access-date=2026-04-13 |website=www.nps.gov |language=en}} Rangers are an integral part of keeping the parks history traditions going by both learning and then sharing ceremonial processes, history and language, and how to make traditional Hawaiian items. The Kako'i is a tool used for chopping down trees and hulling out the trunks to make canoes. Ki'i is commonly known as wooden tiki statues. Poi is cooked taro root that is eaten. Lei Lāʻī are adornments made of ti leaves often worn in hula performances. Ipu heke'ole are gourd drums also used in hula performances.{{Cite web |title=ʻIke Hana Noʻeau "Experience the Skillful Work" - Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (U.S. National Park Service) |url=https://www.nps.gov/havo/learn/historyculture/ike-hana-noeau-film.htm |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=www.nps.gov |language=en}} |

Because they believe that nature is sacred, they live by "Pono," which is the way of life in not taking what does not belong to you, such as lava rocks.{{Cite web |date=2018-05-18 |title=Hawaiʻi’s Pono Pledge |url=https://ponopledge.com/ |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=Island of Hawai‘i |language=en-US}} When Kīlauea erupts, the Kanaka Maoli believe that this is a demonstration of the sacredness and that the Earth is being reborn.{{Cite web |title=Eruption Viewing Caldera - Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (U.S. National Park Service) |url=https://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/eruption-viewing.htm |access-date=2026-04-21 |website=www.nps.gov |language=en}} |
