Description:An essential contribution to contemporary Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) scholarship, Mo'olelo: The Foundation of Hawaiian Knowledge elevates our understanding of the importance of language and narrative to cultural revitalization. Mo'olelo preserve the words, phrases, sentences, idioms, proverbs, and poetry that define Kānaka Maoli. Encompassing narratives, literature, histories, and traditions, mo'olelo are intimately entwined with cultural identity, reciprocal relationships, and the valuing of place; collectively informing and enriching all Hawaiian life. The contributors-Kanaka Maoli scholars, artists, and advocates fluent in 'Ōlelo Hawai’i (Hawaiian language) from across the Pae 'Āina o Hawai’i (Hawaiian archipelago)-describe how mo'olelo constantly inform their linguistic, literary, translation, rhetorical, and performance practices, as well as their political and cultural work. Chapters in 'Ōlelo Hawai’i alternate with chapters in English, with translanguaging appearing when needed. Kamalani Johnson honors Larry Kauanoe Kimura's commitment to the revitalization of 'Ōlelo Hawai’i. Cover artist 'Ahukini Kupihea tells the story of his own creative process and uncovers the layers of meaning behind his artwork. Through careful analysis of nineteenth-century texts, R. Keawe Lopes Jr. demonstrates the importance of mo'olelo and mele (song/poetic expression) preservation. Hiapo Perreira explores the profound relationship between mo'olelo and the resurgence of kākā'ōlelo (oratory). Kekuhi Keali’ikanaka'oleoHaililani shares a methodology and praxis for engaging with mo'olelo. Highlighting the ideology of aloha 'āina embedded in mele, Kahikina de Silva reveals themes of political resistance found in mele about food. Kaipulaumakaniolono Baker examines mele that archive key movements in Hawaii's history and employs contemporary practices to document current events. Tammy Haili'ōpua Baker delineates the political implications of drawing on mo'olelo heritage in Kanaka Maoli theatre. ku'ualoha ho’omanawanui focuses upon mo'olelo found in the politically conscious artwork of Kanaka Maoli wāhine (women) visual artists. Kamaoli Kuwada evaluates the difficulties and benefits of translation and stresses the importance of fluency. C. M. Kaliko Baker further demonstrates how fluency and comprehension of mo'olelo make it possible to retrieve essential empirical data on Hawaiian linguistic practice. Kalehua Krug takes us on his journey of learning to become a kākau mōlī (traditional tattoo artist). The essays together provide rich perspectives for Kānaka Maoli seeking to understand their pasts, to define who they are today, and to set their courses for desired and necessary futures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
