Kanaka Thinking: Keep Sweet Memories of your Birthplace
Lahaina, i ka malu 'ulu o Lele.
Lahaina, in the shade of the breadfruit trees of Lele. Pukui 1936
Lele, the old name for Lahaina.
No matter how your birthplace has changed, keep the sweet memories of your youth and share them with your children so that they too will share in the beauty of the place where you were born and raised. In this way, the life of the place remains alive in the minds of many generations.
I was educated during the period when speaking the Hawaiian language was discouraged, hula focused on hapa-haole songs and whatever Hawaiian crafts I learned were from gracious Hawaiian women in the summer fun program. At this late stage in my life, I am trying to learn about my culture and how the various experiences create the Hawaiian in me.
yeah breadfruit..
