Since their formation, The Green has been a vocal supporter of Hawaiian rights and a model of what it means to be a young, modern Hawaiian. Songs like “Never,” “That’s The Way,” and “Even Before,” among many others, have become rallying cries for Hawaiian youths. Their new single “My Hawai'i,” released December 20 (Easy Star Records), is a new anthem for the Hawaiian nation, featuring guest appearances by fellow multiple-time winners of Na Hoku Hanohano Awards Sean Na'auao, Kaumakaiwa, and Kumu Hina. The band and the label are going to be donating any proceeds from the song to The Hawai'i People’s Fund. HPF has helped to support, build capacity, and amplify the impact of grassroots social change movements in Hawai’i since 1972. 

Ikaika Antone, co-writer of the song and singer/keyboardist of The Green, says, “‘My Hawai'i’ is about the ever changing landscape of Hawai'i. These changes we feel are often not in the best interest of the land or its people. It is a song that speaks of the beauty of Hawai'i, and of the importance to protect it. ‘My Hawai'i’ is inspired by the strength and courage of our Hawaiian people, and that we as stewards of this land set the right example, so that our keiki [children] may have the tools to continue to move Hawai’i in the right direction.”

I grew up in Hawaii and my family and I left Oahu a few years ago. I miss it there everyday. Since this song came out I would ride my bike blasting this song from my speaker. I got lots of looks but I don't care, Hawaii will always be a part of me!🌺🌺

[mokuohaisaia]

I am HAWAIIAN and I will never leave this Land.

[dizzieallday]

Cant listen without a tear....its so deep so real mean chicken skin

[alonsobayo]

We need to stand for our rights! We need to stand for our people! We the people have the responsibility to protect our land! My brothers from Maui the world is watching and we will not let you alone, aloha!

[djaylyke]

[xboxking]

Coming from a Native American side of my family this type of music definitely means something. I enjoy it and the beat to it is always catchy

[Kailualvr]

My Hawaii you can never take away! This song brought tears to my eyes. This is a cry out to our people, there doesn't seem to be much we can do about the past but going forward, we need to be more protective about OUR HAWAII'S future in every possible way. We must somehow try to stop over crowding. This is just an island, not a continent. Yes we have ALOHA HERE. SO ITS HARD FOR US TO DO THIS. But our politicians need to be more involved in figuring some sort of plan to protect not only the 'aina our homelands but also our people. They need to think of something that could help prevent the increasing population or influx of people and the driving up costs for local residents to even survive here. Local families have to move away to live comfortably elsewhere usually selling their home to investors or foreigners most who aren't interested in living here, but just want to make money by capitalizing on buying up land, houses, beach front properties by offering even cash purchases that drive up the real estate market, making it unobtainable for local families to afford. Then there are the people who can afford to buy a house and move here because they can see it's a beautiful place to settle. So ironically we are switching places. Hawaii residents go to the states and mainland residents come here. I am not against people desiring to move here but somehow there has to be a way to limit or control what's happening. Our keiki cannot afford the future, sad to say. That's why I take this song as a cry out! MY HAWAII YOU CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY! It is a cry out from the younger generation, we must do something. MY HAWAII IS BEING TAKEN AWAY! Let's unite people, live this message in this song and figure how to stop this from happening, in our Hawaiian way peacefully, yet stand strong and kokua!

[Quantum_Cupid]

This is such a beautiful and powerful song! I saw a short documentary on YouTube about how the people and the nation of Hawaii only have a small amount of acreage of their land It's sad that we as human beings want to consume and possess everything and forget to love each other and appreciate the roots of the people that were there before. Jah music 🙏🏽🇲🇱🌺 Jah bless the nation of Hawaii May they someday get their land!
