Acknowledging Indigenous Peoples Day
14 10 2019
My haʻawina hale (homework) for papa ʻŌlelo (Hawaiian language class) was to write down my moʻokūʻauhau (genealogy) starting with my maternal grandmother. I think it is fitting that I share it on Indigenous Peoples Day. Each of us is indigenous to somewhere. I believe my ancestors were indigenous to China and the Hawaiian Islands.

I love waterfall season
15 09 2019
Morning in Makaua Valley
It rained so heavily last night I wondered if I was driving through a hurricane. This morning I woke up to two waterfalls.
One, and the second is just outside of the right edge of the photo.

Kū Kia‘i Mauna
18 07 2019Stand, protectors of Mauna Kea. Eo!
In my head and in my heart all day long is the ho‘ōho (call) of “Kū Ha‘aheo E Ku‘u Hawai‘i,” a contemporary Hawaiian anthem composed by Kumu Hinaleimoana Wong. Here is the link:
Kū ha‘aheo e ku‘u Hawai‘i
Mamaka kaua o ku‘u ‘āina
‘O ke ehu kakahiaka o nā ‘oiwi o Hawai‘i nei
No ku‘u lahui e hā‘awi pu a i ola mau
Stand tall my Hawai‘i
Band of warriors of my land
The new dawn for our people of
Hawai‘i is upon us
For my nation I give my all so
that our legacy lives on
