The Hui'ana Monaloha Chapter was formed in 2020. Hui'Ana is Hawaiian for "convergence" - Pittsburgh sits at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, creating the Ohio River. "Monaloha" is, at first, a nod to those three rivers (MON)ongahela, (AL)legheny, and (OH)io. Additionally, Mauna Loa is one of (5) major volcanoes of Hawaii and one of (2) long-closed tiki bars in Pittsburgh. |
