Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono

""Ua mau ke ea o ka okinaāina i ka pono" is a Hawaiian phrase meaning: "The life (sovereignty) of the land is perpetuated in (by) righteousness," and is the state motto of Hawaiokinai.

The motto was adopted by the Kingdom of Hawaiokinai in 1843, and was used in an address by King Kamehameha III at ceremonies following the return of his kingdom from the British. Hawaiokinai had been ceded to Great Britain by the British captain Lord George Paulet of the H.B.M.S. "Carysfort", in response to claims of political abuses against British residents made by British Consul Richard Charlton. After Kamehameha III notified London of the captain's actions, Admiral Richard Thomas returned sovereignty back to the King.

The motto is also retained from the Hawaiian Royal Coat of Arms.
