minded us of his legacy and the importance of striving for greatness. “Each of us benefit from Kūhīo’s foresight, perseverance, and passion. The focus of his life was his people, “Hawaiians must work in alliance with one another so that they may achieve unity and a solution to our great challenge may be found, that being the survival of our people.” Aunty Kanani Kapuniai, sang beautifully Kuʻu Home ʻO Keaukaha written by Albert Nahaleʻa. The song in translation gives thanks to Kalanianaʻole in regards to his work in creating the Hawaiian Homestead act. The lyrics also remind us that we must take care of our precious treasure and work together with aloha so that the life of the land will be perpetuated in righteousness. Papa Hāpuʻu performed a mele written by the class after a huakaʻi through the village. It honors the Aliʻi that each street has been named after. Aloha ʻĀina hui shared a Traditional Haʻa to honor Kūhīo. They brought forth the energy of Lua, an art our Aliʻi exceled in. Lei were placed on Photos that will now be in each school office on campus.

On Friday, March 31, 2017 Kanu o ka ʻĀina celebrated the legacy of Prince Jonah Kūhīo Kalanianaʻole with a school-wide event ALOHA KALANIANAʻOLE DAY. The day commenced with Piko, a ceremony honoring our citizen prince, followed by service learning projects at selected locations in the community and through out the campus. With the sound of the pū, and gathering into the new multipurpose building, Pualani Maielua began with ka Moʻokuauhau o Jonah Kūhīo Kalanianaʻole, and a beautifully writ-ten speach of our beloved aliʻi. As she spoke, she shared a representation of his life and re

As the ceremony concluded, service learning projects beagn outside..working together.. taking care of the land.In the community, students traveled to Queens North Hawaii Community Hospital, Hon-opua Farms, Mo Beta Farms, Puʻupulehu and Waimea Hawaiian Civic Club. On this day we honored “an amazing example of an aliʻi placed in a changing time, chal-lenged with foreign circumstances, yet focused on his sole obligation to his people”.

“To Kūlia i ka nuʻu is not only to strive for greatness of yourself but in doing so lifting your family, community, and people with you! E ola ʻoe e Kalanianaʻole!”

Aloha Kakou,

We hope you enjoyed your first full week back to school. We have started this quarter with many fabulous things! Conferences, Awards ceremony, and Aloha Kalanianaʻole day. It is the time of year when the pahu and the ipu beats resound. The time when hula is around every corner, when chanting is heard in the wind as all hui participate in shar-ing what they have learned throughout the year through oli, mele, and dance. It is the time of year when we get busy for hōʻike, promotions, projects and graduation.

Jonah Kūhīo Kalanianaole Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole was born on March 26, 1871 at Hōʻai, in Kūʻalu, of Kōloa, Kauaʻi. A de-scendant of the ancient chiefs Peleioholani, Kaumualiʻi, Keākealaniwahine and Kalanikauleleaiwi, Kūhiō had ancestral claim and mana from Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi island. The youngest of three boys born to Kinoiki Kekaulike II and David Kahalepouli Piʻikoi, Kūhiō’s birthright and obligation was to serve his people as their aliʻi. Like many aliʻi of his time, Kūhiō and his brothers were tasked with achieving success in education and mastering their evolving world, always from their cultural responsibilities as aliʻi and kanaka Hawaiʻi. Sent to Cirencester England for higher education at the Royal Agricultural College, he studied agriculture and business. His educational endeavors focused on preparing the young aliʻi for leadership roles and eventually the crown of the kingdom. These accomplishments did not stand alone as they were founded upon his indigenous inheritance and intelligence: mastery of his moʻokūʻauhau, kaʻau, moʻolelo, mele, oli, pule kahiko; mastery of geographic and historic dynamics of the pae ʻāina; mastery of the ancient arts of lua, and the list goes on and on. Take a moment to think of what it truly meant to be an aliʻi, furthermore what did it take to be an effective aliʻi during a time of colliding worlds and perspectives? When Kūhio’s education abroad was completed he returned back to a Hawaiʻi in turmoil, on the brink of the illegal overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani and in the midst of a power struggle between foreign mindsets and Hawaiian royalty. He was infuriated with the overthrow and pledged everything within him to support Queen Liliʻuokalani. In supportive response, Kūhiō along with Robert Wilcox and John Wise were instrumental in planning an insurrection to remove the provisional government and restore the queen. Kūhiō was found guilty of treason by the illegal provisional government and imprisoned for a year. While in prison he was vis-ited daily by Elizabeth Kahanu Kaauwai whom he married upon his release. Kūhiō and Kahanu left Hawaiʻi shortly after to travel the world as Kūhiō felt a heavy sadness that the time of the Hawaiian kingdom was coming to an end. Their travels took them to Paris, South Africa, and England. Upon his return, He immediately joined the Home Lula party, formerly known as the Aloha ʻĀina party and eventually became a member of the Republican party. Kūhiō’s epic return to politics in Hawaiʻi was the fulfilment of his royal obligation to his people. Strategically Kūhiō worked hard to under-stand the foreign government system that was being imposed upon Hawaiʻi and mastered the skills needed to effectively represent Hawaiian interests and perspectives. He successfully enacted the county district governing system which is still in use today, and he modeled it after the ancient chieftainships that traditionally grouped island via aliʻi lineages. It was through these relationships and networking that Kūhiō was able to bring to fruition his desire to establish Ka Pila Hoʻopulapula, the Hawaiian Homes Act, no ka hoʻōla, ka hoʻolaupaʻi, a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka lāhui Hawaiʻi. Kūhiō believed that if his people were able to return to their ancestral lands that his beloved nation would thrive once more. While ʻĀina Hoʻopulapula is Kūhiō’s most remembered legacy he also ignited significant organizations which actively remain today. The Royal Order of Kamehameha initially established by Lot Kapuaiwa Kamehameha V, was reorganized by Kūhiō throughout the paeʻāina. The establishment of the Hawaiian Civic Clubs followed with the intent to support the homestead act and movement, end the declining population of Native Hawaiians, enrich Hawaiian youth with education, and support Hawaiian practices and customs.

The accomplishments of this aliʻi, this kanaka Hawaiʻi are immeasurable.
