Aloha mai, This Poʻalima (Friday, the 14th of Malaki), the annual Hoʻokūkū Hīmeni O Kamehameha will be held on Oʻahu broadcast statewide in HD and streamed live worldwide on the web. This year's theme has to do with, ʻae, pololei, ka hoʻōla ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language revitalization, which you are a part of), as the haumāna of Kamehameha honor the Hawaiian language by singing the songs of 10 Hawaiian poets of our generation, from noted haku mele, Larry Lindsey "Kauanoe" Kimura and ʻAnakē ʻĪlei Beniamina to Kealiʻi Reichel. Tune in and hear the sweet sounds of the ʻōlelo in the choral style with incomparable attention to detail in using correct pronunciation (kahakō and ʻokina) and enunciation of those vowel sounds as a Hawaiian language award is at stake. View the loulou (links) below for more information: http://www.ksbe.edu/2008/song-contest/ http://kgmb9.com/main/content/view/4537/185/ Ke aloha nō,
P.S. And don't forget to mark your ʻalemanaka (calendar) for the upcoming annual Hoʻokūkū Hula ʻO Merrie Monarch (a.k.a. Mele Manaka) next month. View the loulou (link) below for more information: http://www.kitv.com/merriemonarch/2930079/detail.html Song credit:

Pō hemolele ke ʻōlino nei nā hōkū
Ka pō i hānau ai ka Hoʻōla
Loa ke ao me nā hewa nā luʻuluʻu
Ka wā i hōʻea mai a ʻolu ka ʻuhane
Hauʻoli ē nā luhi manaʻolana
Pohā nūhou ka wena o ka lā
Pelu nā kuli, hoʻolohe i nā leo ʻānela
Ka pō kamahaʻo i hānau ai ʻo Kristo
Ka pō kamahaʻo, ka pō kamahaʻo!

It is interesting to note that the Polynesian migration to Hawaiʻi was part of one of the most remarkable achievements of humanity: the discovery and settlement of the remote, widely scattered islands of the central Pacific. The migration began before the birth of Christ. While Europeans were sailing close to the coastlines of continents before developing navigational instruments that would allow them to venture onto the open ocean, voyagers from Fiji, Tonga, and Sāmoa began to settle islands in an ocean area of over 10 million square miles. The settlement took a thousand years to complete and involved finding and fixing in mind the position of islands, sometimes less than a mile in diameter on which the highest landmark was a coconut tree. By the time European explorers entered the Pacific Ocean in the 16th century almost all the habitable islands had been settled for hundreds of years.

Honolulu Advertiser
ʻŌlelo au i ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. or ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi au.
Being able to say those words could mean the difference between a Hawaiian comfortable with his or her ethnic identity and a Hawaiian with less self-esteem, as Kiaka (Ki-a-ka) Gaughen found when researching his master's degree thesis at the University of Hawaiʻi. "(Research) revealed that Hawaiians who participate in a Hawaiian-language course had a significant increase in self-esteem compared to those Hawaiian students that were not taking Hawaiian-language courses," said Gaughen, a Hawaiian. To help determine "how experiences through people's lives have created a person," Gaughen created an identity development scale specifically for Hawaiians. He took a group of Hawaiian-language students beginning their studies and later compared them to Hawaiians who had no exposure to the language. He found a connection that he feels establishes a person's language as one piece of a puzzle in their development. ###
