“Thereʻs a lot of stuff weʻre dealing with. And I always remind people that I rather die on my feet than my knees. Because if there is not one person that will hold the torch to make sure that we guide our mo’opuna, our next generation, on the path we need to go, then we may as well lie down and give up. But I will not. I will not lie down. I will not give up. So this song is for you. Itʻs an old prayer … and it goes like this.” — Ke’eaumoku and U’ilani Kapu E ho’i ka nani i Moku’ula, lā I ka uka wale o Waine’e, lā Kaua’ula mai ko uka, lā Ka’alani mai ko ke kai, lā Huli aku ke alo i Lāna’i, lā Ma ke koā iho o Moloka’i, lā Ka malu o ka pu’u o Hā’upu, lā Kelā pu’u ’oni’oni, ’oi kelakela, lā I ka lehua o Kā’ana ke aloha, lā I ka luna wale o Kalae, lā ’O Makakeua ka makani, lā I ke kai wale o Mikimiki, lā Hā’ina ka inoa i ka la’i, lā No Mānoanoa, he inoa, lā He inoa nō Mānoanoa In 1862 P.H. Kekuaiwa, no doubt feeling the loss of the royal establishment and mana at Moku’ula (it was filled in and eventually a baseball field and parking lot took its place) composed a plaintive chant entitled E Ho’i Ka Nani i Moku’ula. “If anyone knows where Moku’ula is … In the middle of a baseball field was an island, where Keōpūolani the sacred chiefess resided, and had her children, Liholiho, Kauikeaouli, and Nāhi’ena’ena. They are now at rest at Waiola and has always been there till today. Waiola is no longer here. Waiola is burnt. It’s gone. A lot of the 90% of historic properties is no longer there.” 🎥: APECEpic @kawaihonapcs This Monday, 9/11, @naaikaneomaui will be hosting a community panel at their Ka’anapali Community Resource Hub at 6:00pm.
