From base to top, Mauna Kea is almost 2,000 km taller than Everest but isn’t considered higher because Mauna Kea starts below sea level. #FACT

This needs to be said, and I hope I’m not overexaggerating. But, the entire state of Hawaiʻi is in cultural and political chaos right now due to the controversy surrounding Maunakea. In all my years of living here, I’ve never seen it these issues climax to the level as this has and this is affecting EVERYONE in the state. Kupuna elders are getting arrested, highways on Oʻahu are getting stopped and what’s saddening is that this is not getting enough national and global attention across media outlets. Please educate yourselves about the kanaka maoli and do some research because history is doomed to repeat itself if change isn’t made.

"He haumana 'ōlelo Hawai'i au!" Today is the last day of UHʻs first summer session. Itʻs been intense, but also super rewarding.

Iʻm about to put the finishing touches on my final for ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi - an audio-visual presentation as I introduce my ʻohana. So many feelings have bubbled up as I delve into studying another endangered language, jeopardized by colonialism and ongoing occupation as is the case by in my beloved 'nmarijima of Loo Choo / #Uchinaa / "Okinawa"....  My heart aches but also....each word we speak brings life and gives me renewed hope. It is also ever humbling and inspiring as #Shimanchu / #Uchinaanchu living in Hawai'i to be able to learn from kanaka maoli here in Hawai'i. Thanks to our AMAZING kumu, sign-language and illustrations have replaced the traditional flash cards I typically create with my other language studies... Itʻs proven to be pretty effective strategy to help me begin to "think" in the language rather than simply try to recall the English meaning. For those whoʻve been curious, hereʻs a glimpse... huaʻōlelo hou: moe example usage: ʻIke ʻo Kūkahauʻula iā Poliʻahu. Ua moe ʻo Kūkahauʻula i lalo, no ka mea, kapu ʻo Poliʻahu.
