ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi ma U.H.


Papa Mau from the one island in Satawal, Micronesia. Helped navigate the voyager HōKūleʻa to Tahiti in the first voyage in 1976. Taught Nainoa Thompson and help start a revival in Hawaiʻi.     

THis Article was found on a door. "Ka Nupepa Kuokoa" means, The Independent Newspaper [name of a Hawaiian-language newspaper published in Honolulu 1861–1927]. Discovered at the center for Hawaiian studies. 

The Kamakakūokalani center for Hawaiian studies. Hawaiian studies majors majority classes are here lower campus of Mānoa.
Sign and sticker representing Kamehameha schools since 1887. "Imua" moving foward. Found at the Hawaiian Learning Building.
"Ka Leo"means "the voice" The students of Hawaiʻi have a say and for them not to be a shame to express themselves. Voice your opinion and donʻt be shy to ask a question because someone might need that answer heard. Discovered upper campus near campus center. 
KŪ I KA PONO means In the righteousness stand, refers to living life the right way. Making the wrong right and discovering the truth which will set you free. Discovered at the Hawaiian Learning Building lower campus. 
I thought this was an eye catcher for everyone that likes to buy everything in the world. Their is no money that can replace the Hawaiian History. The Hawaiian culture was built without money and will always remain that way.
Mai Puhipaka means No cigerettes and I thought this was a great sign. Absolutely no smoking sign rocks and was discovered at the Hawaiian Learning Building, lower campus of Mānoa. 
Kōkua a puni means "Help to gain control of" Where students can get together an study with other students and hang out. Located the front entrance Mauka side of the Hawaiian Learning Building. 
Ka Papa Loʻi ʻO Kānewai means "The class of irrigated terrace (Taro) of strong water."Located lower campus near the Hawaiian Learning Building.
"Kōkua" means "help" On many signs here in the island. ON campus at the Hawaiian Learning Building. 

Hale Hālāwai could mean the "meeting house" or the "house of the horizon". Located east-side on campus. 

"House of Mānoa" located east gateway on campus.
Mostly all Pics were taken at Kamakakūokalani the center for Hawaiian studies. I found most ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi there. A very interesting place with culture and history, especially the Heiau (Hawaiian burial) was built around and the Ka papa loʻi (taro plantation) that holds the students of Hawaiʻi together.
