Aloha e nā hoa o AVAkonohiki!
According to Kalei Nuʻuhiwa, our Kumu Papahulilani, Makaliʻi rose on November 5th [Welehu Kulu] and so we now are celebrating Makahiki! In honor of Lonoikamakahiki we would like to post this new map of Niʻihau made by Dr. Carlos Andrade, professor emeritus of the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, at the direction of learned Niʻihau kūpuna.
Professor Andrade says:
"Regarding the Niʻihau Map - if you check the map [closely], I am only credited for being the cartographer - the map "officially" belongs to the people of Ni'ihau - Malaki Kanahele and Ilei Beniamina collaborated on identifying the names - in the text on the map Papa Kau'i Keamo'ai and another elder are credited with writing down the names in their approximate locations of the identified places on a published map (USGS) - you folks are welcome to utilize the map on your website, but it is necessary to identify the process by which the map came into being - again, read the short text pieces on the map."
Mahalo nui loa to the people of Niʻihau and to Dr. Andrade for sharing their great knowledge with all the rest of us in the Lāhui!
Lonoikamakahiki,
