He aha ia mea ʻo ka ʻohe kāpala? Kālai ʻia kekahi lāʻau ʻohe a loaʻa ka lau ma luna ona. Kāpala ʻia i luna o ke kapa, ka lole, a pēlā aku, a ili aku ka lau ma luna o ia mea. ʻO ka maʻamau, he moʻolelo ko ka lau i kāpala ʻia, a he hoʻoilina ʻohana paha. I ka wā kahiko, ua hana ʻia kēia ʻana hoʻonaninani ʻana e nā wāhine i loko o ka hale kua, ma hope pono o ke kuku ʻana i ke kapa. He waiwai nō ka mālama mau ʻia ʻana o kēia ʻano hana noʻeau i ola mai ai ka ʻike o ko kākou mau kūpuna. No laila, e alu mai kākou a aʻo i ka hoʻonaninani ʻana i hana maiau ʻia e ko kākou poʻe kūpuna. E ka mea heluhelu, maopopo iā ʻoe nā ʻano mea kanu like ʻole e hoʻonaninani aʻe nei i kou kula? I kēlā me kēia lā, māʻalo ʻia nō nā mea kanu o ke kula e kākou me ka ʻike ʻole ʻia paha. Akā, he mau moʻolelo a he mau kumu ko nā mea kanu a pau o ke kula nei. I ke kenekulia ʻumikumamāwalu, ua hoʻolālā ʻia ke kula ʻo Hawaiʻi ma Mānoa e kū ma ke ʻano he arboretum , ʻo ia hoʻi kahi e kanu ʻia ai nā ʻano kumulāʻau like ʻole o ka honua. Inā ua ulu kō hoi no ka ʻike ʻana i kēia mau moʻolelo, aia nō ka ʻike i ka hālāwai hoʻonaʻauao a ka NHSS i hoʻolako mai ai. Ua ʻike ko kākou mau kūpuna, he waiwai nō nā mea kanu i ka hoʻohana ʻia. Na wai lā ke kuleana ʻo ka hāpai ʻana i kēia ʻike? Na nā haumāna a me nā limahana nō o ke kula o Hawaiʻi ma Mānoa. No laila, e makaʻala kākou i ke kāhea manu a e naue aku i kēia hālāwai. E like me nā makahiki i hala, mālama ʻia nā hanana like ʻole e NHSS no nā lā nui o ka Lāhui Hawaiʻi. ʻO ka mea nui o ka mahina ʻo Nowemapa, ʻo ia nō ʻo ka Lā Kūʻokoʻa. I kēia makahiki, e mālama ʻia ana kekahi mākeke ma ke kula nui o Mānoa, kahi e hui ai nā kālepa kamaʻāina no ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea hoihoi. Ma ka lā iwakāluakūmāwalu, aia kekahi ʻaha mele ma Hemenway - na ka hui mele ʻo The Vitals e hīmeni mai; e hoʻolauleʻa pū kākou. Ma kēlā lā like nō, e mālama pū ʻia ana kekahi mau pānela i hiki iā kākou ke hoʻonui aʻe i ka ʻike no ke kūʻokoʻa a me kēia lā nui o ka Lāhui Hawaiʻi. Inā ua hala kēia mau hanana iā ʻoe, e ka mea heluhelu, e kau ka maka ma @nhssuhm ma ke Kiʻiwawe a ʻike ʻia ka hua. E lawe kākou i ke aʻo a mālama, a e ʻoi mau ka naʻauao. A e makaʻala hou kākou i ke kāhea ʻana mai o NHSS e kaheāwai kākou a hui pū nō i kēia kau aʻe. © Kailana Keen 2023 #kulanui ko mua ko hope

Kahākūkaʻalani Rios < hoʻi hope Ola ka Inoa Kahākūkaʻalani Rios 29 Kepakemapa 2025 I kēia mau lā, ʻano kakaʻikahi ka loaʻa ʻana o ka inoa Hawaiʻi, ʻo ia ka inoa mua o kekahi kanaka. Nui nā Hawaiʻi nona ka inoa haole mua, a inā he inoa Hawaiʻi kona, ʻo kona inoa waena nō ia. No ke aha? I ka hōʻea ʻana o nā haole i Hawaiʻi nei, hōʻea pū mai kekahi mau loina ʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻāʻo lakou e holoi i nā inoa Hawaiʻi a pānaʻi i ka inoa Hawaiʻi i ka inoa haole. Wahi a nā malihini, e aho ka inoa haole i ka poʻe a pau. He aha ka hopena o ka lilo ʻana o nā inoa Hawaiʻi ʻo ia ka inoa waena o nā kānaka? Inā ʻaʻole e kāhea ʻia mai kēia inoa, ʻaʻohe manawa kūpono e ʻōlelo mai ai i ka inoa Hawaiʻi, no laila, hikiwale nō ka nalowale ʻana o ke kaona a me ka mana o ka inoa. Aia i hea ka moʻolelo o nā inoa? Aia i hea nā mea kupaianaha? E nalowale ana paha. Like ka hopena o nā wahi pana o ko Hawaiʻi pae ʻāina. I kēia mau lā, kāpae nā lehulehu i nā inoa ponoʻī o kekahi mau wahi ā pānaʻi ʻia ka inoa Hawaiʻi i kekahi inoa ʻē aʻe. E like me ka inoa ʻo Puʻuloa no kahi nona ka inoa ʻo Pearl Harbor i kēia mau lā, nui nā moʻolelo e pili ana no ua wahi pana nei i nalowale ma muli o ka pōʻaiapili o ka inoa haole. ʻAʻole hoʻomanaʻo ʻia nā moʻolelo o Kaʻahupāhau a i ʻole nā manō ma laila; hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ke kaua a ʻAmelika. ʻAʻole hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ka lēʻia o Puʻuloa a me ka lako o kēia wahi pana i ka wā ma mua. Nalowale nā mea kupaianaha, nalowale nā moʻolelo Hawaiʻi. E mau ka moʻolelo weliweli o nā haole. I loko o ka puke a Kumu Noenoe K. Silva ʻo Aloha Betrayed aia kēia puanaʻī hanohano a Ngugi wa Thiongʻo: “The biggest weapon wielded… by imperialism is the cultural bomb. The effect of a cultural bomb is to annihilate a peopleʻs belief in their names, in their languages, in their environment, in their heritage of struggle, in their unity, in their capacities and ultimately in themselves.” Inā poina iā kākou ke kumu o ko kākou mau inoa, e ʻike kākou i nā hopena minamina o ka pōkā pahū moʻomeheu. I ka poina ʻana iā kākou ke kumu o ka inoa Hawaiʻi, he hoʻokahi momoku kēlā o ka pōkā pahū moʻomeheu. No nā Hawaiʻi, ʻaʻole nā inoa he mau huaʻōlelo wale nō. Aia i ka mana a me ka moʻolelo mai nā kūpuna i loko o nā inoa. Ua kapa lākou i kekahi mau inoa no ke kumu koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻole no ka leʻaleʻa a me ka nani. Ua kapa inoa lākou pēlā i mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ko kākou mole. E ʻimi kākou i nā haʻawina mai nā kūpuna i loko o nā moʻolelo. E hoʻomanaʻo kākou i ke kumu hanohano o kēia mau wahi pana, a pēlā kākou e hoʻomalu pono ai i kēia mau wahi a hiʻipoi i ka ʻāina aloha. Inā poina iā kākou nā inoa, pehea e loaʻa ai iā kākou ke ala o ka hoʻokūpaʻa ʻana no ka pono o Hawaiʻi? No laila, he waiwai hoʻi kau nā inoa Hawaiʻi. Mai hoʻohūnā i nā inoa o nā Hawaiʻi ma ke ʻano he inoa waena. E kau ka inoa Hawaiʻi ma ke alo. Hiki iā kākou ke kūʻē i ka pahuhopu a nā ʻemepela ā kūkulu hou i nā momoku i nalowale. Mai kapa i nā inoa ē o ko kākou ʻāina, nā inoa “maʻalahi”, a i ʻole nā inoa haole hou. ʻAʻole hiki iā kākou ke hoʻomanaʻo pēlā. E haʻi mai i ka inoa ponoʻī o ia wahi pana. Ma o kēia hana, e mau ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi ā e mālama kākou i ke ēwe hānau o ka ʻāina. © Kahakukaʻalani Rios 2025 ko mua ko hope
