‘Ōlelo noʻeau...Mary Kawena Pukui #2852 Ua puka a maka... Face is seen in the world. Said of a child who by his birth cements the relationship of his father’s family and his mother’s. As long as the child lives, the families recognize their kinship with each other.

The Waialua Hawaiian Civic Club was established on February 9, 1934. The 32 Founding Members of the Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā (HCCW) were long time members of the Waialua Hawaiian Civic Club (WHCC). Circumstances in 1960 supported the separation of these members from WHCC in order to better serve their own rapidly growing community of Wahiawā. Poignantly, HCCW and WHCC became Charter Clubs of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs on the same day of April 16, 1966 – Sisters in Spirit! Mahalo to our Founding Kupuna of both HCCW and WHCC who paved the way of our Aloha for our ‘āina [family and land] and our traditional comprehension. Respect: unconditional Love handed down from generation to generation “aloha nō hoʻi kākou ia lākou i nā kau a kau”

Sunday, 3.1.2k15...HCCW hosts WHCC Huaka‘i o Kūkaniloko. WHCC Pelekikena Kawika Au requested of kia‘i Tom Lenchanko that they come to visit Kūkaniloko Birthstones State Monument with HCCW. Our exchange included protocol, pi kai, ho‘okupu lei, oli, hula, makana ki‘eke pa‘akai pu‘upu‘u and site interpretation. HCCW offers a Huaka‘i o Kūkaniloko to all other Hawaiian Civic Clubs who are members of Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. Please send your request to [email protected] if your Club is interested in having a Huaka‘i to piko o Kūkaniloko....eō

ANALEMMA – from the Greek term meaning the projection of a sphere on a plane, showing the latitude and meridian of a place. A figure-eight shaped graduated scale which shows the declination of the sun and the equation of time for each day of the year. This figure “8” which some may recognize as the “Infinity” symbol, is pictured on your left near the equator. If you look closely, the center of the figure crosses at the Hawaii Islands. To create the Analemma, you will need to be in a place where the sun will shine on the ground at noon daily through all of the seasons of the year – for example, at Kūkaniloko. You would stake a rod about 3 feet tall into the ground being sure it is in a place where it will not be disturbed for the entire year. If this rod were on a sundial, it would be called a gnomon. On the first day of each month, at the same time on each of those days, you would place a small stone where the rod makes a shadow from the tip of the rod. Repeat this process each month at the same time on the same day. At the end of the 12 months, you will see that the 12 stones will create the figure “8” pattern on the ground. This will be the Analemma for that year...

Monday 3.16.2k15... A few HCCW members and guests ventured into the uplands of Halemano for the early morning hours. Permits are required so visits here are limited. The high ranking ali‘i were born here at Halemano prior to the establishment of Kūkaniloko in 1060 A.D. for the birth of Kapawa, the first Ruling Chief of O‘ahu.

3.20.2k15...On KHON Wake Up 2day Morning News a new image of an old instrument was revealed. The “Pahulele” is a varied version of the standard Ukulele. It can actually be disassembled and reassembled for travel. Morning KHON newscaster, Ron Mizutani, interviewed the designer, Reid Shigemura, owner of Ho‘okani Music Company. He demonstrated how easy it is to prepare for travel. Seth Ikaika Ragragola-Lenchanko was invited to demonstrate by playing the Pahulele for the audience. It has quite a unique sound of its own.

Kepano’s Hawaiian-English concordance English Hawaiian Online Dictionary...This online resource will assist in the translation of the occasional words used in the Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā ‘Ano‘ai Newsletter format as an introduction to our ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i. The original purpose of this newsletter was to aide in recording of the multitudes of activities of HCCW for our Historian collection. It has grown to be both educational and informative. Our readers are global. So for those readers who reside off-island and may not have access to a Hawaiian/English Dictionary, hopefully, this will help you. Enjoy your journey with us. http://www.trussel2.com/haw/eng-p.htm#pr

3.21.2k15... Vernal or Spring Equinox ka māuiili o ke kupulau. The first morning of spring was greeted with the gathering at Kūkaniloko of three groups who melded into one Spirit. Ten haumana of Hawai‘i Preparatory Academy of Waimea, Moku o Keawe (above) (left) presented their Mele Kahea with a medley of oli. Their beautiful voices echoed their hearts of Aloha. First of the next seven generations, they have much to take home as the wisdom and knowledge of kalana Kūkaniloko filled their hearts and minds this day. They learned to mai ma nei “listen so you can see”...eō

Kawika Smith of “Done Tours” rounded up our second group of Spring Equinox visitors. Kawika, is Wahiawā home-grown, and his friends are members of the restaurant food & beverage, hotel and tour industries of Hawai‘i. He was our HCCW monthly meeting guest speaker in January who came to offer the services of his company and friends on the 3rd Saturday clean-up at Kūkaniloko Birthstones State Monument. He was able to gather 22 hardworking individuals who definitely weren’t afraid to get dirty! Their assignment from Uncle Tom was the cleaning of the perimeter of the makahalau. They accomplished much before joining us for the site interpretation. All of our HCCW guests received makana ki‘eke pa‘akai pu‘upu‘u, pule mai kakou i pu pa‘akai and a reminder to help us preserve who we are. As the salt was used to preserve food, to make medicines and to ward off evil, it reminds us to help preserve who we are: our mana‘o, our ‘āina, our dance, our language, our traditional comprehension and so on. In their collective industries this is their kuleana. Clients and customers can be shown that Aloha is as simple as the smile upon your face and can be taken where ever you may go. A heartfelt mahalo to all of you for your contributions as we continue “to guard the kapu of Kukaniloko because we love them for all time...” Come again when time allows. Aloha no!

Haumana o Hālau Hula Kamamolikolehua, Kumu Hula Pohai Souza, were on hand (L) to help host haumana from Moku o Keawe. Their last visit to Kūkaniloko was on July 28, 2012.

3.22.2k15...The Hawai‘i learning program of Manoa Myron B. Thompson School of Social Work [MBTSSW] students visited Kūkaniloko. Intention was to broaden their understanding of our traditional comprehension so they could apply to their chosen field. Haumana came from O‘ahu, Moloka‘i, Maui, and Moku o Keawe. They offered a Mele Kahea and brought several ho‘okupu. We especially enjoyed the company of kūpuna who journeyed with them. We ended the day in appreciation with oli and mele with one another. Mahalo new Friends of Kūkaniloko...eō
