Mahaulu book

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

I just published my second book at blurb.com. It's about my grandmother's father's side of the family. Called "Mahaulu:To Grow Peace". I'm planning on making more books on different sides of my family and then combine them all in a "deluxe" version. The books are made to order so their kind of pricey.…

Unfolding Maps of Sacred and Historical Sites in Hawaii nei

Here's a "glimpse" of some historical maps of Kohala, Big Island, Hawaii. As you view these maps, just think about how many more areas are on our islands and we are all not aware of this. Think also of areas that are not listed and are kept secret by our na kupuna until their passing it on to another generation. To stop an area of development you must be listed on all the county and state permit filing list to be made aware of what is being done in your backyard to limit outsiders from… Continue

Aloha nō kākou,

Two books from Kanaka ʻŌiwi scholars are advertised in the Fall 2008 Duke University catalog on the same page!

"In 1921 the U.S. Congress officially defined ʻnative Hawaiians' as those people 'with at least one-half blood quantum of individuals inhabiting the Hawaiian… Continue

Kauai Eclectic

"As you may recall, he was quoted in Sunday’s newspaper as saying:

“I’m not a developer, I’m just a regular guy in a very unfortunate, uncomfortable situation,” he said. “I’ve done everything I can to make this sensitive and respectful, and I don’t know what else can be changed.”

It seems that over the past eight years, Brescia and/or his wife,… Continue

Good-bye presence

Today I went to the first day of the International Auto/Biography Association conference: Life Writing & Translations. One of the first people I saw and had the pleasure of talking to this morning was Jon Osorio.

I said, yes, but I'll be back in Sept. and Nov. for retreats in Hilo. Oh, he replied, but you'll be… Continue

Finding Roots in a song

I'm thrilled and anxious to receive my CD from Smithsonian Folkways...I've long wanted to get this and decided a few days ago to just jump in and purchase this already...I'm sure those who speak 'olelo hawaii with more fluency or study 'oli would appreciate this more - but my appreciation is with a different kind of ear - literally to listen to and hear the voice of my kuku kane - my great-great grandfather Kala Waiwaiole (b. 1860 - 1926).

in my genealogy research i found three… Continue
