He hoʻoilina mai nā kūpuna mai
ʻOiai he makawalu nō nā waihona no nā palapala aupuni a me nā palapala kākau lima ʻia, ʻo kekahi pahuhopu nui a KNUOH, ʻo ia ka waele ʻana i ke ala e loaʻa piha ai ka waihona nūpepa ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi o nā kenekulia ʻelua i hala aku nei.
Ma waena o ka makahiki 1834 me 1948, he 125,000 ka nui ʻaoʻao nūpepa ʻŌlelo Kanaka i paʻi ʻia ma loko o nā nūpepa he hoʻokahi hāneli, a ua like ia nui ʻaoʻao i nā ʻaoʻao he miliona a ʻoi o nā ʻaoʻao kikokiko wale ʻia.
He ʻuʻuku naʻe o ia laupaʻi nūpepa kai hōʻike ʻia aʻela ma nā puke a me nā nūpepa o kēia au e holo nei.
He waiwai lua ʻole ka ʻike ma loko o ua waihona palapala nei i waiho nalo no nā anahulu makahiki he ʻumi a ʻoi, a nā ka poʻe noiʻi a nowelo wale nō i huʻe i ua waiwai lā ma ka lolelole mālie ʻana i ia puʻu ʻaoʻao palalauhala.
Na ka ʻenehana hou naʻe e huaʻi hele mai i ua mau ʻaoʻao lā a ʻo ka noiʻi hou akula nō ia o ka hanauna hou o kēia au a me nā hanauna o kēia mua lilo loa aku. Na kēia ʻike kupuna e hoʻomāhuahua i kā mākou ʻike ma nā wahi he nui, e hoʻolako mai ana iā kākou i kahi mole ʻike pili i nā mea kaiāulu, nā mea moʻomeheu, a me nā moʻolelo nō hoʻi, ʻaʻole i kana mai ka nui.
ʻOiai ālai ʻole ʻia kēia waihona palapala, he ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi wale nō ka hapanui ʻokoʻa. I loko nō o ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e hoʻōla hou i ka ʻōlelo ma nā makahiki kanahā i hala aku nei, me ka ili ʻana o kahi ʻike ʻōlelo ma waena o nā kānaka he iwakālua kaukani, he ʻelima wale nō pakeneka kēlā nui o nā Kānaka Maoli a he ʻelua pakeneka kā hoʻi o nā kānaka a pau e noho ma Hawaiʻi nei.
He paʻakikī kā hoʻi ka ʻōlelo no loko mai o nā nūpepa kahiko no nā kānaka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi a pau, a pēlā nō nā kānaka mākaukau loa ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. No laila, he ʻuʻuku wale nō nā kānaka i hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomaopopo me ke akāka i ka ʻike ma loko o kēia waihona palapala kahiko, a he ʻuʻuku a ʻemi aʻe ka poʻe nona ka ʻiʻini a me ka manawa keu e hoʻokō ai i ia hana.
He ʻelua a ʻekolu wale nō pakeneka no loko mai o ua waihona lā kai nāna ʻia e ka poʻe noiʻi o nēia au, a ʻo ke koena hoʻi, he kamaʻāina ʻole i ka hapanui ʻokoʻa o nā kānaka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, a he nānā ʻole loa ʻia e ka lehulehu, ʻo ka poʻe noiʻi a me nā mea akeakamai kekahi ma kēia kula nui nei.

He ʻehā nā hana i hoʻopāpau ʻia e ko KNUOH:
