Anahulu Hoʻonui 2/17 – 2/26/2026

Aloha kākou, 

Hauʻoli makahiki hou i kēia nūia o ka lio ahi! I kēia anahulu hoʻonui kākou e heluhelu aʻe ana na paukū hope loa i ka ʻatikala ʻo “Kahi I Loaa Mai Ai Ka Inoa Kapunahou” i loko o Ka Nūpepa Kūʻokoa i ka makahiki 1915:

“I loko o keia manawa, i huli hoi mai ai o Kakaakea, ke kaukaualii, a i kona wa i ike ai i ka hanaino ia o kana mau keiki, ua pepehi aku la oia ia Hawea a make, a pepehi iho la no iaia iho. 

Ma hope mai, ua hoi hou aku no o Kauawaahila a me Kauakiowao no Kaala, me ko laua noho ana ma laila no kekahi manawa, a laila i kekahi manawa ma Konahuanui a me ke Awawa o Manoa. I ka hoea ana mai nae o na haole, ua haalele iho la na mahoe i ko laua wahi, a hoi loa aku la e noho ma Manoa. 

I kekahi manawa e kaalo ae ana no laua ma ko laua wahi kahiko ma na puupohaku, he manawa pokole wale no nae, ma kahi e kokoke la i Waipuna o Kapunahou.” 

Waiwai nō kēia moʻolelo no ke kuanaʻike hohonu o kēia ʻāina. ʻO Kapunahou ka inoa kaulana o kahi kokoke i ko kākou kulanui, a no laila na kākou e hoʻomanaʻo mai i ko ka ʻāina inoa maoli.

English Description: 

Happy new year in this year of the fire horse! This week (anahulu hoʻonui) we will be reading the final paragraphs of the article “Kahi I Loaa Mai Ai Ka Inoa Kapunahou” from the newspaper Kūʻokoa, published in 1915. This moʻolelo is incredibly valuable for realizing the depth of knowledge and perspectives of this place. Kapunahou is a famous name for the place close to our campus, and therefore we must be the ones to remember the names of this place.
