What is the Hawaiian symbol for mother?

There isn't a singular, specific Hawaiian symbol that represents "mother" in the same way a symbol like a heart might represent love. However, several elements in Hawaiian culture represent motherhood and its qualities:

* Hālau: While not a specific symbol, the concept of a "hālau" can represent motherhood. Hālau are traditional Hawaiian schools, often run by a kumu (teacher) who acts as a mentor and guide, nurturing students in various arts and crafts. This can be seen as reflecting the nurturing role of a mother.

* ʻŌhiʻa Lehua: This flower, often seen as the "love flower" in Hawaiian tradition, can symbolize the deep, enduring love between a mother and her child. The ʻōhiʻa tree, a symbol of strength and resilience, represents the unwavering protection and support a mother provides.

* The "Maka": This Hawaiian word for "eye" also represents the heart and soul, and it's often used to convey the deep connection between a mother and her child. The "maka" sees beyond the physical and embodies the love and understanding a mother holds for her children.

It's important to note that these symbols are often multifaceted and their meaning can vary depending on the context. They represent the values and ideals associated with motherhood within Hawaiian culture, rather than being singular, specific symbols.
