Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi- Nāʻilima Gaison

Kumu Papa Mālaaʻo ma ke Kula ʻO Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu, Niuolahiki Papa ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi: Pae Waena & Pae Hoʻomaka, Kumu ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi ma ke kaiaulu o Hilo.

Keaukaha, Waiākea Ahupuaʻa, Mokupuni O Hawaiʻi



Ua komo au i ka papa ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi ma ke kula nui o Hilo i ka makahiki 1980 a i loko o ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻia ʻana mai, ua aʻo au e pili ana i ke emi ʻana iho o nā mānaleo ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi o ia wā a me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻia ʻana o nā mānaleo e kā lākou mau kumu ke ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi lākou nā kūpuna. Ua kupu mai koʻu minamina i kā kākou ʻōlelo makuahine a me ke kāohi ʻia ʻana o koʻu mau mākua a me koʻu mau kūpuna.

 

I enrolled in a Hawaiian language class at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo in 1980 and I learned that the number of native speakers was dwindling, and that they had been punished for speaking Hawaiian with their elders.  This stirred grief within me that our language was withheld from my parents and my grandparents.

Ua lohe au e pili ana i ke kūkula ʻia ʻana o kekahi kula ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi a ua nui koʻu ʻiʻini e lilo i kumu ma ia kula nō hoʻi, ʻo ia nō ka Pūnana Leo o Hilo. No laila, ma hope iho o koʻu puka kula ʻana mai ke kula nui o Hilo, ua lilo au i kumu kōkua manawaleʻa no ʻelua mahina, a laila, ua hai ʻia au a lilo i kumu manawa piha. Ua hana au ma ka Pūnana Leo o Hilo a hiki i ka makahiki 2005, a laila, ua neʻe kula au i ke kula ʻo Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu a aʻo i ka papa mālaaʻo a hiki i kēia lā.

 

I heard about a Hawaiian language school that was being built and I really wanted to become a teacher there, at Pūnana Leo o Hilo.  So as soon as I graduated from UH-Hilo, I became a volunteer teaching assistant for two months, and then I was hired on as a full time teacher.  I worked at Pūnana Leo o Hilo until 2005, when I moved to Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu to teach Kindergarten, which I still do today.

ʻO kekahi pōmaikaʻi hoʻi, ua aʻo au ma ke kula nui o Hilo no 32 makahiki, a laila, ua pau kaʻu hana ma ka makahiki 2020 ma muli o ka maʻi ahulau. A mau nō koʻu aʻo ʻana ma Niuolahiki ma lalo o ka ʻAha Pūnana Leo, Inc. Mai ka makahiki 1990, ua hoʻomaka au i ka hana pū me nā hoa ʻōiwi ma ʻAmelika, Kanakā, a me nā hoa polenekia ma ka Pākīpika a pēia pū nā lāhui ʻē aʻe nō hoʻi a hiki i kēia lā.

 

Another blessing, I taught at UH-Hilo for 32 years, and then due to COVID in 2020, I stopped.  I continue teaching online with Niuolahiki under the auspices of ʻAha Pūnana Leo, Inc.  Starting in 1990, I began working with Native Americans, those in Canada and other Polynesians throughout the Pacific, as well as other races and also continue this work to this day.



No laila, ʻo ia ihola. Ke Akua pū, me ka hoʻomanaʻo pū ē, ʻo ka ʻōlelo ke kaʻā o ka mauli, a no ʻaneʻi ko kākou ola, a e ola mau ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.

 

That is all.  God bless, and remember, language is the fiber that binds us to our cultural identity, and it is here that we live.  Long live the Hawaiian language!

    What a wonderful world we are living in, I still doubt this spell caster how he did it!!! I am so happy to let the whole world know how this powerful spell caster saved my marriage.Everything was going down the drain as my husband could not stop cheating on me with other women. It became used to always heating on me. I tried to make him stop, but I couldn’t help the situation, the more I tried, the harder it became. At times we will fight and go apart for some months and we will come back again just because of our kids. One day a friend told me about this spell caster who helped her too, his name is Dr.oku, she said he uses white magic spells to solve spiritual problems. I decided to give it a try, I contacted him and he told me it will take just 2 to 3 days and I will see great changes in my husband. He actually cast a spell, believe me after 2 to 3 days of the spell, my husband was confessing different names of women he has slept with. He begged for forgiveness and never to try it again. From that day till now, my mind is at rest. My husband dislikes every other woman on earth except me. And am so happy to have him for myself alone.The spell caster’s contact is okutemple@gmail.com or add him on whatsapp +2348163425519

    THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING YOUR EX PARTNER BACK IS GUARANTEED WITH DR ISIKOLO. CONTACT HIM NOW

    I never knew there was a great possibility for me to have my man back to me until I met DR ISIKOLO. It was really tough on me when my boyfriend left me for another lady. I was devastated and couldn’t get myself back. His friends and family did all they could to reunite us but it proved abortive. I was alone for some months and could not see myself loving another. So i had to seek help from DR ISIKOLO who gave me the privilege to ensure my heart desires was granted. He reunited us and the love and happiness was restored. His words is his bound and he never fails when he promises anyone 48 hours of getting the result which amazed me when my own result manifested. Don’t bother seeking help elsewhere. Contact him now. His email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp: +2348133261196.

    I want to give thanks to Dr Trust for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the article I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and do not know what to do again, rather them to get in contact with Dr Trust. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. Dr Trust makes him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good, he can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well, in our love life. Contact

    I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Oku brought back my husband that separated with me for a good 3 months. Even though I have mouths all over my body, it won’t be enough to thank Doctor Oku for his help in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 months and has been in pain and agony without him. So, I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out, not until I meant Doctor Oku who I contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 48 to 72 hours as long as my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor Oku said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him… Email: okutemple@gmail.com or whatsApp him +2348163425519
