| This sophomore issue of ‘Ōiwi focuses on the difficulties faced by Native Hawaiians living in contemporary times, and how we struggle to preserve, protect, and continue our culture, reflected in the theme Kūnihi ka Mauna (Steep Stands the Mountain). Poems, short stories, essays, artwork, and translations from the 19th century Hawaiian language newspaper Ke Aloha ‘Āina. This issue includes Native Hawaiian testimonies regarding tuition waivers for students of Hawaiian ancestry at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and an oral history interview with Moloka‘i’s Billy Akutagawa. A list of “Notable Hawaiians of the 20th century” submitted by ‘Ōiwi readers focuses on some Native Hawaiians who have made a difference in the lives of Hawaiians today, and who have tirelessly worked on behalf of our Hawaiian nation.
