All ʻŌlelo of the Week

“I chose the word “hoʻomau” because it captures the essence of what learning ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) means to me. As this righteous native language has been subject to forceful eradication, it is so important that we as students, working together as a form of mutual native and non-native solidarity, work together to make sure that ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi can continue to persevere and carry on for the next generation.”

—Eimi Tagore-Erwin, Hawaiian 201 student, Hawaiʻi Community College
