SOME THINGS ONLY LIVE ON IN THE STOR IES OF OUR

GRANDPARENTS. Centuries-old knowledge is replaced with new skills

and technologies; masters struggle to find apprentices; once-common

activities are slowly abandoned. Change happens without warning,

and all we are left with are recollections from our ancestors that we

can imagine but fear we will never experience for ourselves. And

yet sometimes all it takes is the right person at the right moment to

envision a different reality and dare to bring it to life.

Eia Hawaii, he i moku, he kanaka He kanaka Hawaii

Here is Hawaii, an island, a man Hawaii is a man, indeed

2

such was the case for hookele waa, traditional non-instrument canoe navigation. It had not been seen or done in generations. All that remained were the stories of great seafarers like Pao, Mkeha, Laamaikahiki, and Kahai. Men who knew how to read the skies and seas. Men who could pull up islands from the depths of the ocean. Men whose travels connected the people of the Pacific as one family.

But these men were long gone, as were their canoes and their wisdom. Or were they? Little did we know that the right conditions for waa consciousness to reawaken were on the horizon. What we lacked was a teacher, when Micronesian master navigator Pius Mau Piailug appeared to fill the void.

Mau not only trained the next generation of Polynesian navigators in the technical aspects of wayfinding; he taught much deeper lessons about identity and purpose. He reminded us that we are part of a shared Pacific heritage and have a responsibility to each other to help strengthen and move our cultures forward into the future. He showed us that the ocean does not separate our islands, but instead brings us

closer together. And he understood the delicate nature of transmitting knowledge. A single break in the chain, and all could be lost once more. Therein lies the importance of students who one day become the teachers; of people like Nainoa Thompson who are now mentoring a new wave of passionate young apprentices and challenging everyone to create their own spaces to think waato care for our resources and the people we call family.

As our waa and crews embark on a journey to spread the message of Mlama Honua, they represent an island nation and a peoplehe moku, he kanakathat is much larger than Hawaii or Polynesia alone. They represent our collective identity as the people of Oceania.

Tonight, our students join together in song to honor some of the most celebrated voyagers and canoes of the last millennium, including those of today. And while Hklea prepares to leave the Pacific for the first time, her companion vessel, Hikianalia, will soon be returning home to inspire a new generation of Hawaiian leaders to step forward. Leaders who will give voice to our contemporary experiences and breathe life into the next set of stories all but forgotten.

He reminded us that we are part of a shared Pacific heritage and have a responsibility to each other to help strengthen and move our cultures forward into the future.

In mid-twentieth century Hawaii,

OU R IDEN T I T Y AS NAT I V E H AWA II A NS is rooted in our

Polynesian heritage. Upon waa kauluadouble-hulled voyaging canoes

our ancestors transported people, landscapes, ideas and aspirations as

they traversed the largest body of water on earth at will. Their ancestral

intelligence and ingenuity was reborn and embodied in the Hklea

a 20th century replica of a traditional voyaging canoe that successfully

sailed to Tahiti and back in 1976quieting the critics, and uniting our

people. Today, Hklea has sailed more than 150,000 nautical miles, a

distance greater than seven times around the earth, reconnecting us to

Kahiki our Polynesian homeland, and inspiring people of all ages and

cultures around the world.

N Pea o Hklea The sails are filled with wind as seabirds guide Hklea straight to shore.

E Mau Master Pwo navigator, Pius Mau Piailugfather of traditional Pacific navigationis revered for his wayfinding legacy that is celebrated around the world.

Ngti Ruawhia The Sixth Tribe of Te Tai Tokerau is a unique distinction bestowed by Mori elders on the Hklea and its extended Hawaiian voyaging family when it first arrived in Waitangi, Aotearoa in 1985. Meaning tribe of Arcturus/Hklea the Ngti Ruawhia tradition is a kuleana that has been cared for and maintained by Kamehameha Schools for the past 30 years.

Aloha Tahiti This farewell to the Tahitian homeland depicts the ancestral voyage that resulted in the discovery of Hawaii: Forgot me not, Matavai as I journey northward by night, by day. It is also a metaphor for the series of lifes departures and landfalls that connect us to heritage and create legacy. As Hklea prepares to travel around the globe to promote sustainability and care for the worlds oceans, it will continue to be anchored to its Hawaiian identity and lift up our ancestral wisdom and worldview as Hawaiis gifts to the world.

Miss Laura Brown, Director of Music at Kamehameha 1926-1947, stated that "the objectives of the song contest are to build up the repertoire of the best in Hawaiian music for the cultural heritage of any student who attends Kamehameha; to develop leadership, cooperation and good class spirit; and to give students the use of their singing voices and to give them pleasure in singing as a means of expression.

The first song contest for male students was held at the School for Boys in 1921. A cup named for George Alanson Andrus, a former director of music at Kamehameha School for Boys whose life inspired the idea of an annual song contest, was offered as an incentive in the competition.

1922 marked the first year that both the Kamehameha boys and girls held song contests. Mrs. E. G. Scoville, a visitor to the Islands from Watertown, Connecticut, was so impressed with the singing of the Kamehameha girls that she donated the New England Mothers Cup for the School for Girls competition.

In 1967, an additional trophy was offered by the Trustees in honor of Charles Edward King, an 1891 graduate of the School for Boys. The trophy is awarded to the class winning the combined class competition.

The Louise Aoe McGregor Award, named for a member of the first graduating class of the School for Girls in 1897, was first presented in 1972. It recognizes the student Director who

has made the most significant contribution to the class in organizational ability, leadership, assistance to others, and persistence.

The Richard Lyman, Jr. lelo Makuahine (Mother Language) Award recognizes excellence in the use of the Hawaiian language within a song. Mr. Lyman, a Kamehameha Schools trustee from 1959 to 1988, was keenly interested in the preservation of Hawaiian language and culture.

The Helen Desha Beamer Award recognizes the best musical performance. Donated by the Kamehameha Alumni Association, the award honors the substantial contributions of Helen Desha Beamer to the lexicon of Hawaiian music. Helen Desha Beamer was a 1900 graduate of the Kamehameha School for Girls.

In the early years, the girls song contest was held in front of the Assembly Hall, and the boys had their contest in front of Bishop Hall. When the School for Girls campus on Kaplama Heights was completed in 1931, separate contests for boys and girls were held in the auditorium. In 1952, the first combined contest of the School for Girls and School for Boys Senior Division took place in Kekhaupio, the newly constructed fieldhouse. The song contest moved to the Neal Blaisdell Center in 1964 and has been attended by capacity crowds there since then. A highlight of the evening is the Hike, a show to entertain and inform the audience while the judges score sheets are tallied. The Hike is an exhibition of the beauty of Hawaiian mele and hula.

The Song Contest is unique to Kamehamehaa tradition that has involved all students in musical competition for ninety-four years.
