In the vibrant history of island tradition, māhƫ in Native Hawaiian and Tahitian cultures are people who embody both male and female spirit, expressing a profound cultural resilience that stretches across centuries.

Unlike the rigid binaries imposed by Western frameworks, māhĆ« were historically honored as keepers of oral histories, skilled artisans of hula, and caretakers of sacred knowledge, their unique identities celebrated in ancient stories like that of HiÊ»iaka, the beloved sister of the volcano goddess Pele, who expressed a fluid essence through her divine journey in chants and legends.

These cultural stewards were integral to Hawaiian society, often serving as bridge-builders in their communities, fostering harmony through their roles in ceremonies and storytelling. The arrival of Christian missionaries in the 1800s—including Mormon missionaries who converted over 25% of the Pacific Island people. These missionaries brought waves of suppression, seeking to erase māhĆ« traditions—but their spirit proved unbreakable, carried forward through generations by those who remembered their sacred significance.

Today, māhƫ continue to shine as symbols of adaptability, with leaders like Kumu Kehaulani Lum inspiring through their mastery of dance and storytelling, preserving Hawaiian heritage while embracing modernity.

Hawaii’s progressive stance—legalizing same-sex marriage in 2013, establishing the 2022 Hawai‘i State LGBTQ+ Commission, and ensuring protections for gender identity—reflects a broader cultural shift that māhĆ« have helped shape, echoing the aloha spirit of acceptance.

As Pacific Islander Heritage Month unfolds in May, we’re reminded to embrace unity in diversity. The māhĆ« invite us to honor every voice, weaving a future in the warmth of aloha.

Park City High School students transformed PC Hill into a vibrant symbol of resistance, wrapping the iconic 25-foot “P & C” letters in rainbow colors to protest Utah’s new ban on Pride flags in public schools (House Bill 77). This pre-dawn act of defiance, led by the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), was paired with a “Rainbow Breakfast” potluck in the parking lot, drawing about 60 students, parents, and community members.

In Utah, schools and communities often place large letters on mountainsides to symbolize local pride, school spirit, and community identity, a tradition dating back decades.

“We wanted a highly visible demonstration—something nobody could ignore,” said Edward Potts, a teacher and GSA adviser. About a dozen students and family members meticulously planned the event, hiking PC Hill four times to measure the letters and ensure they had enough weather-resistant paper. Their efforts paid off as commuters were greeted by a hillside awash in pride colors—a powerful message of inclusion.

The students’ actions come in response to Utah’s law barring Pride and other non-official flags from classrooms and government property. Undeterred, the GSA also made hundreds of rainbow pins to push the boundaries of expression while staying within legal limits. “We’re showing that our community is here and belongs,” Potts said.

The event wasn’t without risks. Potts, who faced a state investigation last year over a parent’s complaint about his curriculum, noted the fear of backlash but emphasized the overwhelming support. “Many of the most enthusiastic supporters aren’t even GSA members—they’re allies standing up for their friends,” he shared.

Virginia Solomon, president of Summit Pride Foundation, lauded the students’ courage: “These brave students give us confidence that Park City will remain a place where everyone belongs.” Summit Pride is now calling on residents and businesses to join their “Raise the Flag” campaign to keep Park City welcoming for all.

This student-driven initiative proves that love and inclusion can shine brighter than any ban.
