Ka Ulu Hoi

‘Auhea ‘oukou e nā pua i‘a i komo mai i nā loko uluwehiwehi o Hawaiʻinuiākea, kahi e pili a‘e ai i nā wai māpuna o nā kūpuna, ‘ano‘ai me ke aloha. He wahi ho‘olauna kēia i kekahi mau ‘o‘opu ‘ai lehua o Hawai‘inuiākea, ‘o ia ho‘i ka hui i kapa ‘ia ‘o ka Papa Haumāna Kauleo o Hawai‘inuiākea (Hawaiʻinuiākea Student Advisory Board). Ua ho‘okumu ‘ia nei hui me ka mana‘olana e paipai aku i ke kūkā kama‘ilio ‘ana a nā haumāna me nā alaka‘i o kēlā me kēia māpuna o Hawai‘inuiākea.

He aha lā ka pahuhopu o kēia kama‘ilio ‘ana? ‘O ka ho‘oponopono ‘ana i nā pilikia e kau ana ma luna o nā haumāna, ‘o ka ho‘olālā ‘ana i nā hanana le‘ale‘a like ‘ole, a ‘o ka ho‘olaha ‘ana i ka nūhou o Hawai‘inuiākea i nā haumāna. I mea e kō ai kēia mau pahuhopu ʻekolu, ua hoʻomāhele ‘ia nei hui i ‘ekolu mau kōmike li‘ili‘i: ke kōmike hoʻolaha, ke kōmike hoʻolālā, a me ke kōmike ʻuao.

He hui laulā ka hui mua. ‘O ke kōmike ho‘olaha ke haku i nā ‘ōlelo ho‘olaha no ka lehulehu haumāna. I mea e maopopo a‘e ai nā hana a Ka Papa Haumāna Kauleo a me Hawai‘inuiākea i nā haumāna, na kēia hui e mālama a e hoʻolaha aku i ia mau hanana ma o ka leka uila, nā pelaha, a pēlā aku.

He hui kālai ka lua o ka hui. ‘O ke kōmike ho‘olālā ke kūkulu i nā hanana no kēia makahiki kula. Na lākou e mālama i nā mea pono no kēia mau hanana. Na lākou ‘ekolu e waiho aku i nā palapala kula, e ho‘omākaukau i nā mea pono, a pēlā aku. No laila, e ka mea heluhelu, e maliu mai, a ke ʻike aku ʻoukou i nā hanana a nei kōmike e alaka‘i ana, e naue aku nō! 

He hui hāpai ka hui hope loa. ‘O ke kōmike ‘uao ke noho pū me nā alaka‘i o Hawai‘inuiākea i mea e maika‘i a‘e ai ko kākou Kula a me ke Kulanui holoʻokoʻa. Ke lana nei ka mana‘o, ʻo ka lilo ʻana o nei hui i leo ho‘okahi no nā haumāna, i mea e hāpai ʻia a‘e ai nā pilikia, nā nīnau, a me nā mana‘o kōkua o nā haumāna i mua aku o nā luna o kēlā me kēia māpuna o Hawai‘inuiākea. 

E kuʻu mea heluhelu ē, eia nō paha ʻoe ke nīnau iho nei, "‘O wai lā nā haumāna e komo ana i ka hana a kēia Papa?" Eia ka pane. I kēia makahiki kula hou, ua hoʻonoho ‘ia ‘eiwa mau haumāna ma ua Papa nei. He mau limahana mai loko mai o Ka Papa Lo‘i ʻo Kānewai a me NHSS, a he mau haumāna laepua a laeo‘o hoʻi mai Kamakakūokalani a me Kawaihuelani. Ua hoʻonoho ‘ia nō hoʻi ho‘okahi haumāna mai ASUH, i mea e ulu a‘e ai ka pilina me ke Kulanui holo‘oko‘a.

Eia nā haumāna i hoʻonoho ʻia, nā ʻoʻopu ʻai lehua hoʻi:

No Kawaihuelani, ‘o Kawaiola Kapuni, mai ‘Ulupalakua, Maui, lāua ‘o Hoakalei Watanabe, mai Waipi‘o, ‘Ewa. No Kamakakūokalani, ‘o Kapaia‘ala Earle, mai Honouliuli, ‘Ewa, ‘o Kuhi Leong, mai Waiau, ‘Ewa, a me Kūna‘e Diehl, mai Ioka, Penekelewinia. No NHSS ‘o Kalawai‘a Nunies, mai Moanalua, O‘ahu, a me Ki‘inani Rosario mai Wai‘anae, O‘ahu. No Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai, ‘o Kalena Okumura, mai Maunalua, O‘ahu. A, ʻo ka haumāna i hoʻonoho ‘ia no ASUH, ‘o kou mea kākau nei nō, ʻo ‘Ānela Akiu, mai Kalihi, O‘ahu. ‘Oiai he noho ko kēia lālā no ASUH, he haumāna ‘o ia ma lalo o Hawai‘inuiākea. ʻO mākou hoʻi ke hui pū a kālailai i nā mea pili i ka hele kula ‘ana.

No laila, e ka mea heluhelu, eia nō mākou ke hāpai aʻe nei i wahi nīnau, penei: "He aha nā manaʻo, nā pono, a me nā makemake o nā haumāna o Hawaiʻinuiākea? Ua ho‘ouna ‘ia aku nei he anamana‘o i nā haumāna a pau ma lalo o Hawai‘inuiākea, i ʻike ʻia ai ua mau manaʻo nei e ka Papa. He wahi noi kēia e hoʻopihapiha aku i ua mea nei i mea e mōakāka ai ka mana‘o o nā haumāna. E ka mea heluhelu, he mau haumāna wale nō nā lālā o kēia Papa, ʻaʻole nō he kumu a he luna paha. No laila, mai hilahila, e leka uila iā mākou ma hshksab@hawaii.edu inā he mau mana‘o kou, a i ‘ole e kama‘ilio pū me kekahi o mākou kekahi.

ʻŌlelo ʻia e nā kūpuna, I maikaʻi ke kalo i ka ʻohā. Eia hoʻi, I maikaʻi ke kulanui i ka haumāna. ‘Oiai ‘a‘ole paha kēia ʻo ka mana‘o laulā o ka lehulehu, ‘o ia nō ka ‘oia‘i‘o. ‘A‘ole hiki i kekahi kula ke holomua me ka nele ‘ana i nā haumāna ‘ole. No laila, he mea kūpono loa ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mana‘o o nā haumāna i ke kulanui i mea e holomua ai ke kulanui i nā lā e hiki mai ana. Na kākou poʻe haumāna e kū‘ē aku i nā hana ‘ino a ke kulanui o Hawai‘i ma Mānoa, a e ‘aelike pū aku i nā mea pono.

‘O ka hana a nei hui ka ho‘okumu ‘ana i ka pilina pālike ma waena o nā alaka‘i o Hawai‘inuiākea me kā lākou mau haumāna, i wahi e pane ai kekahi i kekahi a hui pū no ka hoʻopaʻa pono ʻana i ka ‘ike kūpuna. Ke lana nei ka mana‘o no ka holo pono ‘ana o Hawai‘inuiākea a me ke kulanui o Hawai‘i ma Mānoa, a na kēia hui ka ne‘e mua.
