It‘s also a safe place where staff feel good about helping their students to learn and prepare for a bright future. The center is run by Native Hawaiian U‘ilani Corr-Yorkman. U‘ilani wasn‘t always a business owner. She actually taught at DOE for 8 years. A Mālama Loan from OHA helped make her dream of owning her own preschool a reality. The low-interest loan allowed U‘ilani to buy fencing for the property, playground equipment, furniture, books…everything needed to open the doors of her business. U‘ilani and her staff serve the community in ‘Ele‘ele, Kaua‘i, and have become so popular that they have a waiting list. OHA is proud to support Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs in the pursuit of their business dreams. OHA‘s staff provide Native Hawaiian borrowers with personalized support and provide technical assistance to encourage the growth of Native Hawaiian businesses. Experience the OHA Loans difference.

There are two ways to show possession, k-possessive and k-less possessive, but this issue only teaches k-possessive. There are also two classes, usually called kino-O and kino-A, but this issue will focus on kino-O possessions. The possessive marker ko goes before the possessor(s), and the possession(s) follows, as in the following formula: ko + possessor(s) + possession(s) To pluralize the possessor, the definite article ke/ka (“the”) becomes na-: - - - ko ke kane wa‘a = the man’s canoe ko na kane wa‘a = the men’s canoe To pluralize the possession, use the word mau before it: Possession with pronouns There are three pronouns that combine with the possessive marker ko and change form: wau (I/me), ‘oe (you), and ia (he/she/it). These combine as the following forms: ko + wau = ko’u ko + ‘oe = kou ko + ia = kona These are the only pronouns that combine with the possessive marker ko. All other possessors remain - - the same. ko na kane mau wa‘a = the men’s canoes - E ho‘i hou mai i ke-ia mahina a‘e!

In this catalog you will find a year's worth of activities that will enrich your life. Common Ground on the Hill is a traditional, roots-based music and arts organization founded in 1994, offering quality learning experiences with master musicians, artists, dancers, writers, filmmakers and educators while exploring cultural diversity in search of a common ground among ethnic, gender, age, and racial groups. The Baltimore Sun has compared Common Ground on the Hill to the Chautauqua and Lyceum movements, precursors to this exciting program. Our world is one of immense diversity. As we explore and celebrate this diversity, we find that what we have in common with one another far outweighs our differences. Our common ground is our humanity, often best expressed by artistic traditions that have enriched human experience through the ages. We invite you to join us in searching for common ground as we assemble around the belief that we can improve ourselves and our world by searching for the common ground in one another, through our artistic traditions. In a world filled with divisive, negative news, we seek to discover, create and celebrate good news. We continue to grow! Common Ground on the Hill is a multifaceted year-round program, including two separate Traditions Weeks of summer classes, concerts and activities, held on the campus of McDaniel College, two Music and Arts festivals held at the Carroll County Farm Museum, two seven-event Monthly Concert Series held in Westminster and Baltimore, and this summer's second annual Common Ground on Seminary Ridge at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

  • Ukulele ‘Is Today’ Gisa Jähnichen
    14 The History of the ‘Ukulele ‘Is Today’ Gisa Jähnichen ‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’ Faulkner’s oft-quoted maxim1 is well suited to the history of the ‘ukulele, as this chapter is intended to illustrate. In a recent thesis defence, one of my students was asked why she was so intent in detailing historical facts while obviously aiming at a marketing study. She replied, ‘The past makes the present as it is’. How history is seen as a process that includes present and future is crucial to the understanding of cultural studies. Faulkner’s enthusiasm for and approach to history is worth being understood by musicologists who deal mainly with real-time subject matters, not only musically but also the underlying cultural processes (Fargnoli and Golay 2009). The ‘ukulele is a symbolic item in the perception of Hawai‘i as a ‘culture’. The history of this popular instrument, however, has seen many twists and turns on its way to becoming an iconic musical instrument for various cultural movements. In tracing the details, including specific approaches to what is called ‘music-ing’, this chapter highlights the importance of historical depth in ethnomusicological research. Historical depth in such research has also been encouraged by Stephen Wild, to whom I dedicate this 1 Paraphrased from a statement given orally and confirmed by LeClair in his chapter ‘The “Big Train” and Historical Fiction: Matthiesen, Vollman, Sayles, McCarthy’ (LeClair 2014). 375 A DISTINCTIVE VOICE IN ThE ANTIPODES chapter.
