Theme, Intent were Fulfilled o'olokahi Marks New Beginning for Hawaiians By Kenny Haina, Editor Ka Wai Ola 0 OHA "It was something beyond our expectations. I've never seen anything like this. It was just over- helming. Fantastic." These were just some of the comments made by a beaming and obviously ecstatic Charles Heen, who served as chairman of an organizing commit- tee which planned the Jan. 23 Ho'olokahi Hawaiian Unity Day program at Aloha Stadium. Heen was not one bit disappointed at some of the empty seats, exuding with confidence that "There are more than 50,000 people in this Sta- dium today. We've got some 4,000 people working under the tents outside in the parking lot and thou- sands more are on this fi eld." "The theme of bringing Hawaiians and Hawai- ians-at-heart together for one day was fulfilled.

The school is committed to assisting Hawaiians and part- Hawaiians to develop the necessary professional skills to assume critical roles. Over 50 percent of the Sch901'S student body is non-Caucasian, coming from many different cul- tures and nations. This cultural diversity helps students learn and apply special skills for working with others. The School makes a special effort to attract Hawaiians into its programs. To help ensure acad- emic success for those individuals recruited, the School offers staff support in several potential areas of need-tutoring, seeking financial aid and initiating community activities related to the graduate degree program. A personal academic advisor assists students to successfully accomplish their academic objectives.

'Ao'ao Umi (page .10) Malaki (Ma rch) 1988 Through Rippling Energy of 'Wave' Awesome Potential of Hawaiian· Power Displayed By Deborah Lee Ward, Assistant Editor Ka Wai Ola 0 OHA There was something for everyone at Ho'oloka- hi, and the enthusiastic crowds made it an event to remember. The rippling energy of the almost un- stoppable "Wave" in which the entire throng par- ticipated, was an awesome indicator of the poten- tial power that a united Hawaiian community could wield in other ways. However, the happy party atmosphere did not obscure the real thrust of this special day's pro- gram- Hawaiian unity- which concluded events in the Year of the Hawaiian. Among the many people Ka Wai Ola 0 OHA talked to, there was a constant theme of appreciation for this event, and a sense of awakened pride in our Hawaiian heritage: Entertainer Marlene Sai, co-coordinator of Ka- mehameha Schools/ BishQp Estate's centennial events, called Ho'olokahi "a fremendous effort and success for air in the Year of the Hawaiian." Rolling with the "wave" is this mixture of oldtimers 'and youngsters. Wayne Chang, kumu hula, Kamehameha Schools/ Bishop Estate, said: "It could be a first in magnitude, and in terms of Hawaiians who are able to handle all aspects of putting together this event. Hopefully it is the first of many more to come. It was about ti me to show how the majority of Ha- waiian people can come together for the last event in the Year of the Hawaiian." Frank Hewett, kumu hula, musician, composer, shared his vision of Hawaii an unity: "It is good and beautiful to see so many Hawaiians in one place at one ti me, for relaxation and enjoyment. It shows how much we can accomplish if we support each other. It would be even more beautiful if one Ha- waiian in trouble had 50,000 more to back him up. When there is a cause or struggle, to just show a face that says "We back you up." To stand behind omeone who needs help- that is to be suppor- tive, no matter what, to help them out.

The group was invited to share thoughts and information regarding the future of the historic 40-acre property. As explored and mapped by long-time resident and lessee John Orr, Kahuwai represents one of the best surviving examples of a Hawaiian village-including shoreline canoe sheds, housesites, walled planting areas, heiau, and probable platform graves. O ne of the most unusual features of the prop- erty is an elevated food storage area comprised of 40 rock-lined pits. In fact, as discussed by Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Kaawaloa- this "kahu'ai" area may be the actual name source of the area. However, as remembered by Mrs. Whitney, there was also a landmark rock which sat on the black sand beach below the viilage area. A natural cup in the rock always held water, and it was this quality which was recalled in the name "kahuwai."

these pools is apparently lost-what remains in stories indicate Makalawena was once part of a spiritual cleansing and training area. As indicated in a recent "West Hawaii Today" column by the Rev. Leon Sterling, even the name "Makala"- meaning to cleanse from defilement-and "wena" to glow, conjures the deep sacred nature of this place. Traditional trails lead to, and even through some of the pools, providing additional, strong evidence of purification rites. Other pools were probably specific bathing areas- as Rev. Keanaaina ex- plained it, "like a furo" - where soaping and rinsing were performed in separate waters. Still other ponds were tenant bait areas, where 'opae'ula could be gathered by fishermen for use in Natural and man-made disturbances of the old Distinctive "signal rocks" mark the elevated the noted seas off Makalawena. church cemetery have resulted in exposed wall which runs for several miles through the Today the glow of Makalawena is dimmed by human remains.
