Abstract
This tribute captures a conversation between contemporary Native Hawaiian leaders who were mentored and nurtured by Kekuni Blaisdell. These reminiscences touch on Kekuni’s reclaiming of the phrase Kānaka Maoli to describe the first peoples in Hawaiʻi, his persistent reminder that Hawai‘i is the “mainland” and, most significantly, his leadership in establishing strong pilina (relationships) that connect and unite the lāhui (nation, race).
