'O wai kou inoa? What's your name?

Richard

No hea mai 'oe? Where are you from?

I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, fourth generation descendant from settlers on my father's side, and fifth generation on my mothers. I spent many years in Kalihi, then in Kaneohe, and also in Waipio Valley--all on Oahu.

ʻO wai ke ahupuaʻa āu e noho nei? Where do you live?

I live on the slopes of what is now called Punchbowl. What are this mountain's other names? Of course I know of Puowaina. But I think there are others, ae?
