Keynote & Cultural Performance Packages

Bring a transformative, immersive experience to your next event. By blending powerful keynote storytelling on indigenous sovereignty, aloha ʻāina (love for the land), and modern grassroots healing with conscious roots-reggae rhythms, Maka & 808 Ohana delivers more than a speech—they deliver an unforgettable cultural awakening.

We offer flexible booking options ranging from intimate, raw solo presentations to massive, high-energy headline experiences with the full 808 ʻOhana ensemble. Explore our package structures and signature speaking pillars below to find the perfect fit for your corporate summit, university campus, or global conference.
 

Signature Keynote Topics

Maka’s presentations bridge ancestral wisdom and modern activism. Each keynote can be tailored to your audience's focus and seamlessly integrated into both Solo and Full Band packages:

  • Indigenous Sovereignty & Global Diplomacy: A deep dive into self-determination, the true meaning of independence, and navigating modern systems while fiercely preserving cultural identity, heritage, and international indigenous rights.
  • Aloha ʻĀina (Love for the Land): Moving beyond sustainability as a buzzword. This presentation explores aloha ʻāina as a living framework for environmental activism, social responsibility, and restoring our reciprocal relationship with the earth.
  • Stewardship vs. Ownership: An eye-opening contrast of mindsets and systems. Maka challenges the colonial extraction model of "ownership" and introduces indigenous frameworks of "stewardship"—shifting organizations and communities from exploitation to long-term preservation.
  • Trauma Support & Grassroots Youth Healing: Empowering the next generation through culturally grounded care. This topic focuses on breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma, creating safe spaces for youth, and weaponizing art, music, and community as tools for emotional and mental liberation.

 Solo Packages (Featuring Maka)

Best for intimate settings, tight production budgets, lecture halls, and corporate DEI summits.
