Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi- Kaʻiokiaʻi Tolentino-Smith

 

Kaʻiokiaʻi Tolentino-Smith

Kumu Papa 1

Ke Kula Kaiapuni o Hāna

Wākiu, Hāna, Maui


“Na wai hoʻi ka ʻole o ke akamai, he alahele i maʻa i ka hele ʻia e oʻu mau mākua.” -Liholiho

“Who would not be wise on a path walked upon by my ancestors?” -Liholiho


He poʻe akamai nā kūpuna a pēlā pū nā pua o Hāna. Hānai ʻia ke kama no ʻaneʻi ma ke ʻano he Hawaiʻi. Mākaukau ke keiki Hāna ma nā ʻike kuʻuna like ʻole: ʻo ke aloha ʻohana ʻoe, ʻo ka holoholo ma uka ʻoe, ʻo ka holoholo ma kai ʻoe, ʻo ka hula ʻoe, a pēlā wale aku. Eia naʻe, no nā hanauna ua nele mākou i ka ʻōlelo o ka ʻāina, ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. ʻO ia ke kumu aʻu e ʻauamo ai i kēia kuleana nui ʻo ke kumu kula kaiapuni, i ʻike ʻole nā pua o Hāna i ka nele a ola ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi i kēia hanauna a me nā hanauna e hiki mai ana. E ola mau ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.

Our ancestors were a smart people, like them so are our children of Hāna. A child from here is raised Hawaiian. The Hāna child is agile in different Hawaiian practices, whether it be loving their family,  hunting, fishing, hula, among many other things. However, for generations we were deprived of the language of the land, Hawaiian language. That is the reason I take on this big responsibility of a Hawaiian immersion teacher, so our children will never know deprivation and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi lives in this generation and the generations to come. Long live the Hawaiian language!

    My name is Melissa, All thanks go to Dr. Murugu for saving my marriage from toning apart. I feel so grateful and only have good words about a powerful spell caster named Dr. Murugu who helped me bring back my husband. We had been apart for 2 years, at first I was thinking if I was doing the right thing by contacting a spell caster, but I so much love my husband and won’t give him up for anything in this world. I decided to contact Dr. Murugu through his mail address I found several testifiers’ messages online, and I told him about my situation, he laughed and told me my husband will be back to me in the next 48 hours. I felt it wasn’t going to happen at first until my husband called me and was so eager to have me back more than anything on earth.

    Now we are together and he can’t do without me and both of us are happy. I feel so happy sharing this testimony because there was no negative act attached to his work. His work was smooth and fast. Thanks to Dr. Murugu for bringing back happiness to my life. I swear with my life that Dr. Murugu is a man to trust and take your problems to. You can contact him on his e-mail,dr.makinidrmurugu@gmail.com if you truly want your love back.
