Note: Because most Web browsers are unable to display the kahako (horizontal line, or macron) used to add emphasis to a vowel in written Hawaiian, we have substituted the corresponding vowel with an umlaut (two dots, or dieresis). To view this text as it was meant to be read, you must have a Hawaiian-language font installed on your computer. You can obtain free versions of these fonts from the University of Hawaii-Hilo's Web site, http://www.olelo.hawaii.edu/eng/resources/fonts.html Some newer Web browsers, (such as Netscape 7 and Internet Explorer 6 on certain operating systems) can display kahako without a Hawaiian-language font, using a specialized coding system called Unicode.

Aloha mai käkou e nä makamaka puni heluhelu nüpepa a me nä känaka a pau i æäkoakoa ma këlä Pöæaono aku nei ma ka Hale Aliæi æo æIolani a kaæi huakaæi like akula i Mauna æAla. He 15,000 ka nui, a æo ia ihola paha ka mea i kupu ai ka manaæo no ke poæomanaæo.

A ke noæonoæo iho nei paha kekahi, he aha lä ka manaæo o ia poæomanaæo e kau aæela ma luna? E wehewehe æia ana nö i æike æoukou, a inä he manaæo küpono ia, e kükäkükä aku æoukou me nä æohana a me nä hoa aloha, a æo ka hoæokö æia o këia manaæo kahi mea e holomua ai käkou Hawaiæi. Penei kahi manaæo.

Ma Kauakükalahale o ka lä 3 o Iulai o këia makahiki nei, ua æike æia kahi moæolelo mai ka nüpepa "Ka Oiaio" e pili ana i nä hana hoæohuihui e holo ana ma æEnelani ma mua. A e paipai æia ana ka lähui Hawaiæi e komo like ma ia æano hana. Ke hana nei paha kekahi o käkou pëia i këia manawa, akä he æuæuku loa paha ko läkou heluna.

A pehea, inä he 100,000 mau Hawaiæi ke komo like ma loko o këia hana, a e hoæokumu æia he hui kumuloaæa æole (non-profit). A æo ia mau Hawaiæi he 100,000, e lülü ana i 10 kälä i këlä me këia mahina. He 10 wale nö kälä o këlä me këia kanaka. He 100,000 x $10 = $1,000,000. æO ka huina kälä e loaæa ana i këlä me këia mahina, ke uku nä känaka a pau, he hoæokahi miliona kälä ($1,000,000)! A i ka hala æana o ka makahiki, he $12,000,000 o ka waihona kälä, a æoi aku paha ma muli o ka uku kuala, he 3 paha päkeneka, a he 5 paha (5%), ma kahi ana ka uku kuala o ka $600,000. A inä he kuala hoæohui nö, e æoi aku ana.

æEä, æo kahi hana paha e hana ai, æo ia ka mälama æana i ia puæu kälä nui, a hala ka lua o ka makahiki, a pälua ana ia puæu kälä, a he 24,000,000.

A no laila, noæu iho, æo kahi mau mea e hoæolilo ai i ke kälä, æo ia ka hoæonaæauao æana i nä mamo a Häloa, ke küæai æana i ka æäina, i æole e lilo i nä kölea, a he nui loa nä mea hou aku e hiki ai ke hana æia.

A æo kahi mea e poina æole iä käkou, æo nä känaka na läkou e lü ana i ke kenikeni i këlä me këia mahina, æaæole paha e lilo hou ana kahi kenikeni iä läkou, æo ka mea nui o ka hoæohuihui æana, æo ia ka holomua o ka lähui Hawaiæi, ka hoæihoæi æia æana o ka æäina iä käkou Hawaiæi, a pëlä aku.

A i këia pule aæe, e höæike mai ana kekahi hoa i kona mau manaæo ma këia papahana.

He 100,000 mau
Kānaka Maoli

Aloha mai kākou e nā makamaka puni heluhelu nūpepa a me nā kānaka a pau i æākoakoa ma kēlā Pōæaono aku nei ma ka Hale Aliæi æo æIolani a kaæi huakaæi like akula i Mauna æAla. He 15,000 ka nui, a æo ia ihola paha ka mea i kupu ai ka manaæo no ke poæomanaæo.

A ke noæonoæo iho nei paha kekahi, he aha lā ka manaæo o ia poæomanaæo e kau aæela ma luna? E wehewehe æia ana nō i æike æoukou, a inā he manaæo kūpono ia, e kūkākūkā aku æoukou me nā æohana a me nā hoa aloha, a æo ka hoæokō æia o kēia manaæo kahi mea e holomua ai kākou Hawaiæi. Penei kahi manaæo.

Ma Kauakūkalahale o ka lā 3 o Iulai o kēia makahiki nei, ua æike æia kahi moæolelo mai ka nūpepa "Ka Oiaio" e pili ana i nā hana hoæohuihui e holo ana ma æEnelani ma mua. A e paipai æia ana ka lāhui Hawaiæi e komo like ma ia æano hana. Ke hana nei paha kekahi o kākou pēia i kēia manawa, akā he æuæuku loa paha ko lākou heluna.

A pehea, inā he 100,000 mau Hawaiæi ke komo like ma loko o kēia hana, a e hoæokumu æia he hui kumuloaæa æole (non-profit). A æo ia mau Hawaiæi he 100,000, e lūlū ana i 10 kālā i kēlā me kēia mahina. He 10 wale nō kālā o kēlā me kēia kanaka. He 100,000 x $10 = $1,000,000. æO ka huina kālā e loaæa ana i kēlā me kēia mahina, ke uku nā kānaka a pau, he hoæokahi miliona kālā ($1,000,000)! A i ka hala æana o ka makahiki, he $12,000,000 o ka waihona kālā, a æoi aku paha ma muli o ka uku kuala, he 3 paha pākeneka, a he 5 paha (5%), ma kahi ana ka uku kuala o ka $600,000. A inā he kuala hoæohui nō, e æoi aku ana.

æEā, æo kahi hana paha e hana ai, æo ia ka mālama æana i ia puæu kālā nui, a hala ka lua o ka makahiki, a pālua ana ia puæu kālā, a he 24,000,000.

æO ka nīnau paha e paæē mai ana i kēia manawa, æo ia hoæi, he aha lā ka hana ke nui mai kahi puæu kālā me kēlā?

æO ka hāæina, æaæole i maopopo. Akā, e kūkākūkā nā kānaka a pau i komo pū i loko o nei hana, a na lākou nō ia e hoæoholo. æO kahi mea nui naæe, æo ia paha ka holomua o ka Hawaiæi. A no laila, noæu iho, æo kahi mau mea e hoæolilo ai i ke kālā, æo ia ka hoæonaæauao æana i nā mamo a Hāloa, ke kūæai æana i ka æāina, i æole e lilo i nā kōlea, a he nui loa nā mea hou aku e hiki ai ke hana æia.

A æo kahi mea e poina æole iā kākou, æo nā kānaka na lākou e lū ana i ke kenikeni i kēlā me kēia mahina, æaæole paha e lilo hou ana kahi kenikeni iā lākou, æo ka mea nui o ka hoæohuihui æana, æo ia ka holomua o ka lāhui Hawaiæi, ka hoæihoæi æia æana o ka æāina iā kākou Hawaiæi, a pēlā aku.

A i kēia pule aæe, e hōæike mai ana kekahi hoa i kona mau manaæo ma kēia papahana.
