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 Natasha Wilson. I am here to make a review about how Dr Patrick  helped me in fixing my marriage and also to those out there seeking for help and advice on how to save your broken marriage or relationship, few months ago I was having issues with my husband I noticed he has been having an affair with another young lady in his place of work I confronted him but he got angry and say to my face that it’s true, as if that was not enough he went ahead by telling me he doesn’t love me anymore that he wanted a divorce I was to devastated and confused, I pleaded with him that I don’t want a divorce but he insisted, before then I had heard about Dr Patrick while browsing on the internet how he use to help people with broken marriages and relationships, I gave it a thought and I decided to contact him, he promise to put a smile on my face again, I followed his instructions and after 3days I was so surprised to see my husband kneeling before me and apologizing for what he had said about the divorce, this is something I never expected, I thank Dr Patrick for what he has done for me, now am living happily with my husband and he has stopped seeing the other woman. Please if you are having issues like this I advise you to contact Dr Patrick he can help you as well. You can contact him on his Email drpatrickspellcaster@gmail.com or on his whatsapp number +1 662 493 2087 this is his website https://drpatrickspellcast.wixsite.com/my-site/contact

    I was introduced to a cryptocurrency trading platform smatdec. me. where I invested my entire savings, they didn’t allow me to withdraw my profits or my investment funds even after paying all sorts of ridiculous fees. I’m a disabled veteran and losing my funds to these platforms has caused me all forms of financial distress and depression. I was very lucky to have come across ethicsrefinance Security Service, which was able to help me recover my crypto after their investigation, they found out the platform was a scam site and was only after my investment funds. ethicsrefinance Security Service was able to recover all my funds. I’m truly grateful and I highly recommend their services to everyone affected by this scam. Their Contact Information is as follows: Email: ethicsrefinance@gmail.com
