2012 Book of the Year: Ka Honua Ola by Dr. Pualani Kanaka‘ole Kanahele
ʻŌʻili pulelo ke ahi o Halemaʻumaʻu
The fire has returned to Halemaʻumaʻu! Ka Honua Ola has brought home two awards from the Hawaiʻi Book Publishers Association—the award for excellence in Hawaiian language, culture, and history, and the Samuel M. Kamakau Award for book of the year.
The Kamakau Award recognizes excellence in subject matter, quality of production, and innovation in digital content. With launches on two islands plus a robust website that includes video footage of oli and hula performances and author interviews, Ka Honua Ola’s presence has been felt in multiple geographic and virtual communities.
E Pele ē, huaʻina hoʻi
Ka Honua Ola has been around for a while—from a three-ring binder in the 1980s with limited distribution, to the present-day library-bound edition available to all. And when you consider the twenty-five archaic chants in the book, this culturally rich content has been around even longer, in the ancestral memory of our lāhui. The mele had just been waiting to be unwrapped, decoded, and rebirthed by the proper vessel.
ʻO Pelehonuamea, he Pualani
Ancestral memories come as a gift. Now is the time to receive Ka Honua Ola and revisit our profound connection to the living earth.
