Hawaii residents place so much stock in the aloha spirit that there is an actual law in the Hawaii Revised Statutes (section 5-7.5) that requires residents to abide by the spirit of ancient Hawaiians • Smiles abound and islanders are quick to wave hello, usually in the form of shaka, a greeting made by extending the pinkie and thumb and curling up the middle three fingers of the right hand. • The word aloha is also used extensively throughout the islands.
