Kauakūkalahale Index

Papa kuhikuhi kikoʻī no nā kolamu ʻo Kauakūkalahale

Kauakūkalahale is a weekly Hawaiian language newspaper column, published in Honolulu newspapers since October 27, 2002. It first appeared in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in the Sunday edition (until the last two weeks of 2008, Saturdays thereafter) until June 12, 2010, when the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin merged. It has been published in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser since June 18, 2010.

Edited by K. Laiana Wong and R. Kekeha Solis, of the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa, each column (appx. 600 words) includes a brief English synopsis. As of September 23, 2017, 778 weekly columns had appeared (not published Feb. 14, 2009, Jan. 2, 2016). Column topics are eclectic, usually related to the Hawaiian community, but including world news and sports, etc.

Over 100 authors have contributed, with over 500 of the articles divided among three, Kekeha Solis (233), Kūpopou (152), and Laiana Wong (198), (as of September 23, 2017).

All of the columns are reproduced here. They appeared online as well as in print, and almost all can also be accessed in the newspaper archives by clinking the newspaper name links (directly above the date). Some two dozen articles not available in the newspaper archives are shown here as microfilm scans of the newspaper columns, or have been transcribed from those scans, indicated by an asterisk (*) after the newpaper name. In those cases, clicking the newspaper name link will display the microfilm scan. (Star Bulletin archived pages from 9/28/2008-6/5/2010 are apparently "working copies" of the columns, and do not show the author's name, nor necessarily the correct publication date of the print edition. A few later online pages show similar errors and omissions. Authors and dates are shown correctly in the articles reproduced here.)

Laiana Wong		 Kauakūkalahale columns can be accessed in hard copy or at the Star-Advertiser website. They are also available a day later, for free, at www.trussel2.com/haw/kuk/hsa.htm, or at kauakukalahale.org. Contemporary editorials in Hawaiian need to reach Hawaiian language speakers online.

9/16/2017		 Hawahawa ka lima o ke kālepa kaʻa   (ON: 499)
Laiana Wong		 The living conditions following Harvey and Irma have been miserable, but the generosity of people has emerged. This is now being overshadowed by those who, among other questionable activities, are reselling damaged cars without proper disclosure, as required by law.
Poʻaono
9/9/2017		 Kalaʻihi ka lā, kūpilikiʻʻi ka honua   (ON: 1421)
Laiana Wong		 The world experienced some very powerful solar flares this week. Such dramatic events can have serious consequences. They can also produce beautiful skies. World leaders should be more positive in outlook.
Poʻaono
9/2/2017		 Uē ka lani, uē pū me ko ka honua
Laiana Wong		 News of the flooding from tropical storm Harvey has reached just about everyone by now. The little bit of flooding I had at my house in Kāneʻohe during the rains on Tuesday pales in comparison to the devastation in Texas and Louisiana.
Poʻaono
8/26/2017		 E kūʻēʻē ʻia ka hoʻokae ʻili, he hana ʻino
Laiana Wong		 The American Educational Research Association has released a statement condemning the recent violent events in Charlottesville, Va. A Hawaiian version of the statement appears below.
Poʻaono
8/19/2017		 Kaiakahinaliʻi: Ahu mōkākī ka puna i uka   (ON: 1243)
Laiana Wong		 Global warming has exacerbated the problem of rising sea levels. Record king tides are expected to become the norm in the near future, inundating coastal cities. And some folks still refuse to acknowledge the serious ramifications of global warming, let alone the fact that it even exists.
Poʻaono
8/12/2017		 Eia nō kahi Hawaiʻi ua kaulona ʻia
Laiana Wong		 The latest crisis facing the Trump administration seems like a game of chicken, and Hawaiʻi could be the collision point. Contrary to popular received wisdom, Hawaiʻi would be much safer if we were under our own control. Americaʻs illegitimate control of our islands has placed us in the crosshairs of North Korea.
Poʻaono
8/5/2017		 Ea aʻe i luna, a kū kiaʻi mauna
Laiana Wong		 Protectors practicing nonviolent resistance were forcibly removed from the road to the summit of Haleakalā by police. Why does the University of Hawaii support the Hōkūleʻa but is willing to desecrate our mountain?
Poʻaono
7/29/2017		 Haipule o nā kūpuna ma Kawaiahaʻo
Kolomona Nakatsuka		 Kawaiahaʻo Church held services in the Hawaiian language last Sunday in order to minister to Oʻahu’s Hawaiian language community. This will greatly support Hawaiian language restoration.
Poʻaono
7/22/2017		 Nā ipo liʻiliʻi hoʻokuʻi i ka puʻuwai
Laiana Wong, Christine Ambrosino		 A type of vegetation that grows only in Hawaiʻi, particularly on the North facing side of Moku o Loʻe, has been called Halophila hawaiiana by the scientific community, and is commonly referred to as seagrass. What can we call it in Hawaiian? Some high school science students have an idea.
Poʻaono
7/15/2017		 Mai hoʻonui wale i ka ʻino
Laiana Wong		 So much negative press has surrounded this presidency, much of which predates the election. The negative reports should be curtailed so that truly egregious acts will be recognized as such, and not seen as normal behavior. This is not an issue of accuracy. It is about avoiding apathy.
Poʻaono
7/8/2017		 Lei Kaʻapuni Honua: He ʻaha ʻawa
Laiana Kanoa-Wong		 The triumphant return of Hōkūleʻa on June 17 was celebrated with an ʻawa ceremony to honor and signify the completion of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage. Here is an account of this unique ceremony.
Poʻaono
7/1/2017		 He lāʻau ʻino a hōʻea mai i o kākou nei
Laiana Wong		 Hawaiʻi has not escaped the opioid epidemic that is devastating communities all over the world. Over the past 10 years, opioid-related deaths in Hawaiʻi have increased by 83 percent. Something needs to be done and we all need to be part of the solution.
Poʻaono
6/24/2017		 Pūhā hewa ka honu i ka lā makani
Laiana Wong		 Got a problem with the traffic at Laniākea and want to move the turtles? Let’s not blame it on them. In what way is it their fault? It is a human problem requiring a solution respectful of nature.
Poʻaono
6/17/2017		 Hōkūleʻa, ka waʻa kaʻapuni honua
Laiana Wong		 On its maiden voyage to Tahiti in 1976, Hōkūleʻa was captained by Kāwika Kapahulehua. He was a Hawaiian language speakers who in his later years taught language students at the University of Hawaii. Hōkūleʻa has just returned from a voyage around the world and will anchor off Ala Moana Park on Saturday.
Poʻaono
6/10/2017		 Mauiakama: Aloha ʻāina ʻoiaʻiʻo
Laiana Wong		 Valuable lessons are available at language immersion camps such as Mauiakama but language learning is not the most important. Caring for the land because the land takes care of us, is a basic obligation. Language only supports the process.

Poʻaono
5/20/2017		 Mahalo ka mea loaʻa o hoka auaneʻi
Laiana Wong		 I have recently begun to worry that Donald Trump might actually be impeached. That would be very, very bad. Trump offers the best chance for the resurgence of a liberal agenda. Besides, who would step in and provide the entertainment?
Poʻaono
5/13/2017		 He mea pahū ke kamepiula
Laiana Wong		 In the name of safety, the Department of Homeland Security is banning laptop computers and other small electronic items from being carried onto aircraft. Is this about safety or repression?
Poʻaono
5/6/2017		 Hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ke Alamo?
Laiana Wong		 The story of what happened at the Alamo glorifies land-grabbing slave owners while treating native peoples as if they were nonexistent.
Poʻaono
4/29/2017		 Kuʻia nā hoa makalauna o ka lewa
Kanoelani Wong		 The scandal involving the overbooked United Airlines flight and the passenger who was dragged off the plane created quite a public relations stir. It is clear that United has alternative ways of handling the situation but chose a path that would make it pay.
Poʻaono
4/22/2017		 Aia ka ‘ai ma mua o ka i’a
Laiana Wong		 As we engage in the regenesis of Hawaiian, it is important to preserve whatever we can. Because most speakers today are first-language speakers of English, English word order tends to inform the new Hawaiian. We should attend to this lest it be said that we speak English in Hawaiian.
Poʻaono
4/15/2017		 Ua Lele Kohala
Keawe Lopes		 With great love and remembrance for a dearly loved Kohala who recently left this life on Earth.
Poʻaono
4/8/2017		 Eia aʻe kahi makani ʻino ke pā mai nei
Laiana Wong		 We should all be concerned that Donald Trump has chosen to respond to violence with violence. The attack on Syria could easily escalate into something more serious, especially if Russia enters the fray.
Poʻaono
4/1/2017		 Pila pilo: ʻAʻohe heluna kālā e ʻaʻala ai
Laiana Wong		 North Carolina, reeling from lost revenues because of fallout from its “bathroom bill,” has just passed a new version. Both the proponents of the original bill and its opponents find themselves aligned in opposition to the new version.
Poʻaono
3/25/2017		 Ka mohala ʻana mai o ka ʻōlelo kanaka
Laiana Wong		 The Hawaiian language is making a comeback from the brink of death. The initial shift away from a thriving history, however, should serve to remind us of its fragile nature. Just one generation of neglect, and it could be gone.
Poʻaono
3/18/2017		 Hōlapu ke ahi, koe iho ka lehu   (ON: 1050)
Kekeha Solis		 Road rage is something probably everybody experiences, but we should find ways to curb it because the consequences may be permanent. Getting angry does not solve anything. Letʻs heed some of the words from our kūpuna.
Poʻaono
3/11/2017		 E kaukaʻi paha ka DHHL i ka DNA?
Laiana Wong		 What are the limits of DNA testing for ancestry, and can it be utilized fairly? Further investigation is needed before implementation. Invoking scientific methods should not be inconsistent. Either do it all the way or donʻt do it at all.
Poʻaono
3/4/2017		 He aha ia mea he pākeneka koko Hawaiʻi?
Laiana Wong		 Hawaiian Home Lands is a misnomer. They should really be Hawaiian lands. By buying into the blood quantum requirements, we are complicit in our own colonization. Until such time that we are able to exercise our sovereignty, we should probably honor the 1/32 quantum espoused by Kūhiō.
Poʻaono
2/25/2017		 Aia nō kahi ʻIlioki ua paʻa i waho o ke anu
Laiana Wong		 New efforts are being made to reverse the 2006 decision to revoke Pluto’s status as a planet in our solar system. It is currently labeled a “dwarf planet”. Despite this label, it is not viewed by some as a real planet. Why then call it a “planet”?
Poʻaono
2/18/2017		 Māhuahua nā kīnā i ke oʻo o ka mānaʻai
Laiana Wong		 Many men will be surprised to learn that fathering children at an advanced age can carry severe consequences for their children's health. There is an increased risk for certain afflictions that will be problematic for the child. The biggest surprise is the actual age that is considered advanced. It can be less than 40.

Poʻaono
1/28/2017		 Paipai ʻo Huli i ia hana ʻo ka hoʻomāinoino hoʻopiholo
Laiana Wong		 It is not surprising that President Donald Trump is in support of torture by way of waterboarding. Despite studies that have shown the futility of such measures, he still thinks it is an effective deterrent to terrorism. He says that it absolutely works, but how could he really know without personal experience?
Poʻaono
1/21/2017		 Eia mai kahi mūhune ʻino ke laha aʻe nei
Laiana Wong		 A new type of infectious disease is spreading throughout the world, and the available antibiotics are ineffective against it. The number of cases is growing. Eight months ago, there was only one reported case. That is not so today. What will happen in the next eight months?
Poʻaono
1/14/2017		 A he ʻuʻa keia ua hiki iho nei
Laiana Wong		 Defibrillators and pacemakers may soon come under attack by hackers. Our increased dependence on technology to support such health-related advancements leaves those of us dependent on them vulnerable to the whims of such people.
Poʻaono
1/7/2017		 E ʻai i ka paka o ka pīneki ʻoi ʻōpiopio
Laiana Wong		 Peanut allergies may eventually be a thing of the past. Research has shown that children who are fed peanut-based products at the age of 6 months develop immunities to the adverse effects traditionally associated with peanuts.

12/31/2016		 Ua ahuwale ka hau o uka
Laiana Wong		 New technology allows us to view the Earth from space. We can track the distribution of humans, changes in forestation and ice caps, and water use patterns. This could help to authenticate global warming for the few remaining non-believers.
Poʻaono
12/24/2016		 Ka māuikiʻikiʻi o ka hoʻoilo
Laiana Wong		 We just experienced the winter solstice on Wednesday. It was the shortest day of the year. Although the reasons for naming the events that coincide with the shortest or longest days of a year, or when the length of a day is equal to its corresponding night serve astronomers, the idea of corresponding seasons is odd in Hawaiʻi.
Poʻaono
12/17/2016		 He aha ka waiwai o ke mele ʻHawaiʻi Ponoʻīʻ?
ʻAnela Texeira, Kuʻupua Silva		 Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī has been the state song since 1967 but has been around longer. King David Kalākaua wrote the lyrics to the melody and it was first sung by the Kawaiahaʻo Church Choir on Nov. 16, 1874, on Kalākauaʻs birthday. What most people donʻt know is that there are originally three full verses in the song. However, at the University of Hawaiʻi games, only the first verse and a repeated chorus are sung. How important is it to know and sing the full song of Hawaiʻi?

S. Kamakakaulani Gramberg		 Lineal descendants and members of the Kaʻūpūlehu Marine Life Advisory Committee have asked us all to “try wait,” by initiating a fishing kapu, rest period, on a 3.6-mile stretch of shoreline from Kīkaua Point to Kalaemanō. Combining Hawaiian traditional and customary practices with Western science, these dedicated members have developed a detailed plan to ensure the survival and proliferation of this fishery. This 10-year moratorium, codified by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, will allow these resources to self-heal and revitalize the quantity of fish to levels of sustainability similar to those that existed prior to Western fishing methods.

10/22/2016		 Na Huli ʻo Huli i kāmau ʻino mai

Poʻaono
9/17/2016		 He wai ola paha ko ka paipu loloa?
Laiana Wong		 The protest in North Dakota against building a 1,170-mile oil pipeline is just one more example of manʻs disregard for the life of the land and for the well-being of the original peoples of the land.
Poʻaono
9/10/2016		 He aha ka hewa o ka moe awakea?

9/3/2016		 He mahalo no ka wiwo ʻole o Kaepernick
Laiana Wong		 Americans should support Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit in protest during renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner. The struggle will bring enlightenment and improvements to that nation. It is easy for Americans to turn a blind eye to America's faults by allowing outrage over attempts to effect change obscure the truth.

7/16/2016		 Wāwahi ʻia ka maluhia a kau mai ka weli
Laiana Wong		 The escalation of violent acts throughout the world has made people jumpy. This has led to some not–so-well-thought-out reponses, some of which call for a matching of the violence, and others that overly generalize the source of a problem and seek to solve it by engaging in extreme acts that can hurt innocent people.

Laiana Wong		 The new Disneyland that is about to open in Shanghai has concerns about the attractiveness of the names of the attractions, even in translation.

6/18/2016		 E ao Hawaiʻi, mai puni iā Maleka!

6/11/2016		 Paʻa ka ʻōlelo, ʻaʻohe e komo

6/4/2016		 E kū mai paha ka ʻaoʻao Kūnoa

Laiana Wong		 Research has shown that less sleep leads to increased craving for junk food and ultimately to weight gain. The shift in eating choices can occur overnight and lead to a sharp increase in calorie intake. There is an interesting correlation between decreased sleep and increased levels of THC, the same stuff found in marijuana. Trippy!

3/19/2016		 E kāhiko paha i ka lehua, ʻaʻole paha?
Laiana Wong		 With the impending Merrie Monarch hula competition, concern for the protection of ʻōhiʻa lehua trees on Hawaiʻi Island has taken center stage. Hālau depend on the blossoms to adorn their costumes as they prepare to glorify their deity, Laka. But a new type of disease has been wiping out the forests and visiting the uplands to pick lehua will only exacerbate an already dire situation.

Laiana Wong		 Taking pictures of your food and sending them to friends, whether in real life or in cyberspace, is really just a high-tech way to play with food. Researchers in California are claiming thereʻs a link between taking and sending pictures of food to others and an improvement in taste for the sender. But what does it do for the receiver? To some, however, playing with food is a violation of cultural norms.

9/10/2006		 Another example of why the phrase "military intelligence" qualifies as an oxymoron. The recent crash on the H-1 has provided a blueprint for terrorists who wish to wreak havoc here in Hawai'i. We are indeed eminently safer without a military presence.
E ao Hawaiʻi!

10/15/2006		 Under No Child Left Behind, schools are required to provide military recruiters with the contact information of high school students. Hawaiian youth struggling to meet foreign standards are most susceptible to the recruitment rhetoric.

3/19/2016		 With the impending Merrie Monarch hula competition, concern for the protection of ʻōhiʻa lehua trees on Hawaiʻi Island has taken center stage. Hālau depend on the blossoms to adorn their costumes as they prepare to glorify their deity, Laka. But a new type of disease has been wiping out the forests and visiting the uplands to pick lehua will only exacerbate an already dire situation.

12/17/2016		 Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī has been the state song since 1967 but has been around longer. King David Kalākaua wrote the lyrics to the melody and it was first sung by the Kawaiahaʻo Church Choir on Nov. 16, 1874, on Kalākauaʻs birthday. What most people donʻt know is that there are originally three full verses in the song. However, at the University of Hawaiʻi games, only the first verse and a repeated chorus are sung. How important is it to know and sing the full song of Hawaiʻi?

The Hawaiian column will be coordinated by Laiana Wong and Kekeha Solis, of the Department of Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Each column will begin with a synopsis, in English. Topics will include current events, features and profiles. To honor the Star-Bulletin for beginning the Hawaiian column, Wong has written a "name" song, which used to be customary when a newspaper was established. The song is titled "Ka Hōkū Buletina." Generally speaking, the song is announcing the new publication, "kind of like saying a new kind of flavor for readers -- the Hawaiian language, the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people," Wong said. "Let it be known that this column is coming out and the Star-Bulletin is doing it and we would like you to subscribe," he said. "It's finally here." -- Frank Bridgewater, Editor

This article focuses on certain aspects of the naming conventions of Hawaiian and their role in perpetuating Hawaiian cultural values.
