by Kati Loke Rose

Have you ever heard of Ka Leo Hawai'i? Has the song "E na Hawai'i" ever reached your ears? Have you heard the news of Ka Makani Kahaukane or Ka Ulu Hoi? If so, then you have heard of some of the projects of the Hui Aloha *Aina Tuahine, a club at the University of Hawai'iai Manoa, the land of the Tuahine rain. This student club is interested in things related to Hawāi'i, that is to say, the language, history, culture and so on. This club was. established in 1970 by st-udents seeking knowledge about Hawai'i. The members share their knowledge by teaching eaeh other, These are some of the activities of the Hui. The Hui Aloha 'Aina Tuahine is the main sponsor -for the radio program Ka Leo Hawai'i, a program entirely in the Hawaiian language, broadcast on KCCN every Sunday of the school semester from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Larry Kauanoe Kimura, the advisor of the Hui, is the host of this program. The guests are native speakers, teachers, and other people interested in their Hawaiian language. Several years ago, some of the musicians who have helped the radio progrām made a record called Ka Leo Hawai'i (a fund-raiser for thē:Mui); "E na Hawai'i" is just one of these songs whfch igjieard on KCCN. Perhaps some of the Hawaiian language teachers will remember the periodical Ka Ulu Hoi, printed from 1972 to 1976. Hawaiian was the major language of this paper. The stories, riddles, poems and everything else was written by students bf the University of Hawai'i and other people interested in the Hawaiian language. Ka Ulu Hoi inspired the Hui to print their new newsletter, Ka Makanl Kahaukane, started this past November. The objective of Ka Makani Kahaukane is very similar to that of Ka Ulu Hoi except the news of the Hui is included in every monthly issue during thē school semester. The people who put out this newsletter are only students, and its purpose is to practice and learn Hawaiian. There are a lot bf other activities of the Hui, such as making leis, learning hula, preparing Hawaiian food, hiking, and others. The Hui enjoys going to famous places such as 'lolani Palaee and Queen Emma Summer Palaee. Sometimes the Hui visits Lunalilo Home in Maunalua. The Hui is a group of people who desire knowledgerMost of them are but that is not the most important thing for joining the Hui. They want to take care of all things related to ftawai'i.
