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

kukuna o ka la


No hea mai 'oe? Where are you from?

The genealogy o Kukuna o ka la: I was born on the bank of the Mississippi River to slaves. For five (5) generations back we were all slaves. Not even one free person was ever in my ohana. We were just happy to be slaves and not one of us ever thought about manumission or being free. None of my ohana ever even had the thought of running ever cross our minds. We were happy just to serve. Being owned by other people never cost us any sleep.


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

Kaua'i

    Aloha, Kukuna_o_ka_la! Mahalo for informing me of this place; different format, so I need to go "lilla-bit, at a time", till I get used to. Does this blog have "pm" ability? I am grateful for your Hawaiian history knowledge, and how you share and assist... Looking forward to learn here. Mahalo nui loa! Me, Hinahina

    I have been watching and listening to the actions taken by Keanu Sai, Mahealani Kahau, Leon Siu, Ardaiz, and Osorio and I can only thank them and you, from your tutu and mo'opuna.....oli e oli.....rejoice, rejoice, our voices and drums are more and more in number each day, the volume of our cries rises louder each day, and the harmonies become clearer, fuller and stronger every day.......Mahalo Ke Akua that we may be able to see the re-unification of our nation and our national rights reinstated with the sovereign authority and rightful jurisdiction of this Hawaiian archipelago of islands.
