Ma ka pāpā ʻia ʻana o ka hapanui o ka huakaʻi mokulele ʻana e ka maʻi ahulau, ua haʻo nui ʻo Joby Kekapu Tom i kona home, no ka mea, kipa mau ʻo ia i kona ʻohana ma Oʻahu i hoʻokahi a i ʻole ʻelua mau manawa i kēlā me kēia makahiki, a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i lele mai i ʻaneʻi nei mai ka makahiki 2019 aku.
No laila, ʻoiai ʻo Tom e akeakamai ana i kona ʻike i ka ʻōlelo, ua komo koke ʻo ia nei i kekahi polokalamu pūnaewele ʻIke Ჹɲʻ na ke Kulanui Kaiāulu ʻo Koʻolau i hoʻomaka aku ma ʻOkakopa.
“ʻO ka Ჹɲʻ ʻokoʻa ʻana nō ia. Ua pā ka naʻau i ka hoʻopili ʻana,” wahi a Tom, he luna hōʻoia kū kānāwai no kekahi hale ʻoihana kālā ma Kapalakiko. “Inā ʻole ke COVID, inā ʻole koʻu komo ʻana i kēia polokalamu ma muli o koʻu huakaʻi mokulele ʻana no ka hana.”
, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea e hāʻawi aku i ke kēkelē laeuahi, ua kū nō ia ma ke kahua kula mai ka makahiki 2012 aku, akā ua koi ʻia ua polokalamu nei e lilo i mea pūnaewele e like me nā papa ʻē aʻe i ka nui ʻana aʻe o ka maʻi ahulau i kēlā makahiki aku nei. ʻO ia ka mea i kīpaepae i ke alahele no ke kula e hana aku ai i kēīa polokalamu pūnaewele i nā kānaka lehulehu ma waho o Ჹɲʻ nei.
Nui ka nūnēnūnē ʻana o nā luna hoʻoponopono no ke keʻena ʻIke Ჹɲʻ e hoʻopūnaewele i ka polokalamu mai ka makahiki 2017 aku, akā ua nui kā ko lākou pūʻiwa i ka nui o nā palapala noi komo mai nā kihi a pau o ʻAmelika. He polokalamu ʻIke Ჹɲʻ kā ke Kulanui o Ჹɲʻ ma Mānoa a me Brigham Young University-Ჹɲʻ, akā ʻo ko ke Kulanui ʻo Koʻolau polokalamu ʻo Ჹɲʻloa, ʻo ia ke koho mua loa no ke komo pūnaewele ʻana.
“Ua kala loa ko mākou kali ʻana e haku i polokalamu pūnaewele, akā ʻaʻole mākaukau nā kumu a me nā papa a pau no ka hana ʻana pēlā,” wahi a Kalawaiʻa Moore, ʻo ia ke alakaʻi a me ka hope polopeka no ke keʻena ʻo ʻIke Ჹɲʻ. “Ua huʻe ka wā maʻi ahulau i ko kākou mau lima.”
Ua kaukaʻi ke kulanui i nā pūnaewele ponoʻī, ka haʻi o ka waha a me nā hoʻolaha pāpaho pili kanaka e ʻimi ʻia ai nā haumāna. Ua pūʻiwa loa nā luna hoʻoponopono i ka nui o nā palapala noi komo no Pololika, ʻIlinoe, Kalolaina Hema, Nūioka Kūlanakauhale, Uka, Kekeka, Newaka, ʻOlekona a me Kaleponi — i hoʻopili ʻia me nā mokupuni ʻē aʻe ʻo ܲʻ a me Ჹɲʻ.
Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻia ʻana o Ჹɲʻloa, ua loaʻa mai nā noi he 300 wahi a kekahi palapala hoihoi pūnaewele no kekahi polokamu i haku ʻia no 20 mau moho wale nō. Ua pono kā Koʻolau hoʻohui ʻana i ʻelua mau papa hou aku, a ʻo ka ʻāpono akula nō ia i 55 mau haumāna ma ka hui mua loa.
“Ua holo nō ka pilina kanaka noho mokupuni ʻo coconut wireless,” wahi a Makamae Sniffen, ʻo ia ko ke kula hoa kūkā pūnaewele a me ka luna hoʻonohonoho. “Mai kekahi mau hoʻolaha leka uila, ua hoʻolaha ʻia aku nō ia mai laila aku.”
Ka Hoihoi Laulā
ʻO ka pūʻulu haumāna mua i hoʻomaka ma ʻOkakopa, e hemo kula ana lākou i kēia kau kupulau aʻe, a aia nā kānaka noho i Ჹɲʻ he 29 a nā kānaka noho ʻole i Ჹɲʻ he 26. ʻO ka nui makahiki ʻawelika o lākou, ʻo ia nō he 40, a he 25 ka nui makahiki ʻawelika no nā haumāna e hele kino i ke kula. Ua piha ka makahiki 80 i ka hiapo, a he 18 makahiki o ka muliloa. He mau wāhine ka hapanui, koe aku ia ʻehā kāne.
He 39 mau haumāna o ka pūʻulu lua i hoʻomaka ma Ianuali, a aia nā kānaka noho i Ჹɲʻ he 24 a nā kānaka noho ʻole i Ჹɲʻ he 15, wahi a Sniffen. A no ke kolu o ka pūʻulu e hoʻomaka ana i kēia kau hāʻule lau, ua kau inoa nā kānaka he 40.
ʻAʻole he ʻano maʻamau ka nui o kēia mau haumāna, e laʻa nā mākua i loaʻa nā ʻoihana piha-manawa iā lākou a i ʻole e hoʻi ana lākou i ka hoʻonaʻauao kulanui ʻana ma hope o ka liʻuliʻu ʻana. ʻAʻole ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻoihana a me nā noʻeau ʻoihana ka mea a lākou e ʻimi aku ai, akā ʻo ia nō ka ʻimi loa ʻana i ko lākou ʻano ponoʻī e hoʻi hou ʻia ai lākou i ka piko.
“He mau Kānaka Maoli lākou e noho ana ma waho o ko lākou kulāiwi, me ka haʻo ʻana i ke kulāiwi a me ka ʻiʻini ʻana e aʻo i ko lākou moʻomeheu,” wahi a Colette Higgins, ʻo ia kekahi dini no nā kuleana hoʻonaʻauo ma ke kulanui. “He ʻano hoʻoilina kēia, ʻo ia ka hoʻoili ʻana i ka hanauna e hiki mai ana. Nui nā kānaka e noho ana ma ʻAmelika me ka ʻole o ka ʻike i ko lākou moʻomeheu ponoʻī.”
ʻO Sarah Malia Antoncich, he kumu ʻo ia a he makuahine ʻo ia no ʻelua keiki e noho ana ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Wakinekona, a he ʻohana kona ma Maui a me Ჹɲʻ. Hoʻi mai ʻo ia i Ჹɲʻ i hoʻokahi manawa i kēlā me kēia makahiki no nā hoʻohui ʻohana. Ua hānai ʻia kona makuahine ma Oʻahu a ua hemo kula ʻo ia mai ke kula ʻo Kamehameha i ka makahiki 1968.
Ua lohe mua ʻo ia e pili ana i ko Koʻolau polokalamu ʻo Ჹɲʻloa ma o kekahi hoʻolaha ma ka ʻaoʻao Pukealo ʻo “Hawaiians in Washington.”
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Antoncich, ʻo kekahi mea hōʻume nui, ʻo ia ka hiki ʻana ke aʻo i ka ʻōlelo ma o ka pūnaewele. Ua ʻōlelo hoʻi ʻo ia e pili ana i ka hiki ʻana ke loho i nā moʻolelo mai nā kūpuna mai a e aʻo mai nā polopeka maoli mai, a he ʻokoʻa kēlā i kekahi “correspondence course” me kekahi wikiō i hoʻopaʻi ʻē ʻia a i ʻole kekahi mau ʻatiakala ma kekahi kahua pūnaewele.
“ʻAʻohe kumu alakaʻi no kēia ʻano aʻo ʻana,” wahi āna. “ʻO nā mea i hāʻawi ʻia iā mākou, ua akāka ka pahuhopu a no nā kānaka ake nui, nā kānaka koi nui, a me nā kānaka i pono i ua mau mea nei.”
“ʻO ke kū ʻana i ke kahua paʻa no koʻu hoʻomaopopo ʻana iaʻu iho a me kahi aʻu i hoʻokumu ai, na kēlā i hoʻololi i ke ʻano aʻu e ʻike mai ai iaʻu iho ma ka honua a me ke ʻano aʻu e hoʻopili paʻa ai i ka honua,” wahi āna.
He mau papa kā kēia polokalamu ʻelua makihiki, e laʻa ka ʻōlelo Ჹɲʻ, ka haku ʻana, ka moʻolelo Ჹɲʻ, ka hoʻolauna i ka politika Ჹɲʻ, ka hōʻike honua no nā mokupuni, ka moʻomeheu heʻenalu ma Polenekia, ka hoʻolauna i ka hoʻokele waʻa Ჹɲʻ a me ke mele Ჹɲʻ. Hiki i ka haʻawina ke hoʻopau ʻia i nā manawa a pau o ka lā.
Hiki i nā haumāna ke komo pūnaewele i nā hui hoʻopaʻa haʻawina a me ke kūkākūkā ʻana me kekahi hoa kūkā a i ʻole nā hālāwai kumu aʻo me ko Koʻolau mau lima hana. Ua lōkahi pū kēia i ka nui o nā haumāna ma o nā ʻano like ʻole i noʻonoʻo ʻole ʻia ma mua o ka wā maʻi ahulau.
“He pono ka ʻōlelo ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻana, he paʻakikī,” wahi a Tom, he kupa no Kāneʻoha he haumāna i puka mai ke kula ʻo Kamehameha. “Akā he mea ia e hōʻeleu aku iā mākou. Ua hoa pili nō mākou. Ua kūkulu ʻia kekahi kaiāulu nui.”
E Lole I Nā Ihona O Ka Nui Haumāna?
He hōʻailona maikaʻi ko ka polokalamu lanakila no ka ʻōnaehana Kulanui o Ჹɲʻ, he mea ia e hōʻike aku i ka hiki ʻana o kēia ʻano polokalamu ke kū laʻana no nā kulanui e maʻa hou aku i nā hihia kālā i lawe ʻia mai e ka maʻi ahulau.
ʻO ka ʻōnaehana UH — e laʻa ke kahua kula nui ʻo Mānoa a me nā kula ʻehā-makahiki ʻo UH Hilo a me UH West Oʻahu a me nā kulanui kaiāulu he ʻehiku — ua ʻike ʻia ka ihona he 1.5% ma mai ke kau hāʻulelau 2019 a i ke kau hāʻulelau 2020. Ma o nā kulanui kaiāulu, ua iho ka nui haumāna he 7.6%, a ʻo ia ka ʻoi kūnihinihi o ka ihona ma o nā kula UH.
Ma ka manawa like, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o nā papa pūnaewele ma ko UH ʻōnaehana ma ke ʻano he 340% mai nā papa he 1,420 ma ke kinohi o ka makahiki kula 2019 a i nā papa he 6,252 ma ka makahiki 2020. Ma o nā kulanui kaiāulu, ua lilo ka nui o nā papa pūnaewele mai 787 a i 2,564 ma ka wā like.
Ua keʻakeʻa ʻo Ჹɲʻloa i kekahi o nā mea ʻino a ka wā maʻi ahulau no ke Kulanui Kaiāulu ʻo Koʻolau, ʻo ia kekahi o ka mea liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻōnaehana me 2,299 haumāna e hele kula nei.
He māhele nui ko lākou o nā haumāna Kānaka Maoli, he Kanaka Maoli.
“Ma loko o ka wā maʻi ahulau, e walaʻau ana lākou i ke kāpae ʻana i ka nui o ko mākou mau polokalamu, akā naʻe ua hoʻomaka aku mākou ma kēia mau kūkākūkā ʻana me kekahi mākeke i waele ʻole ʻia,” wahi a Moore. “ʻO kā mākou polokalamu ka mea e loaʻa ai ke kālā no ko mākou kulanui ma kekahi wā ʻuʻuku. Ua hoʻololi nui kēia i ke kūkākūka ʻana.”
E ʻalo ana nō ko UH ʻōnaehana i mau pilikia ma ka wā e hiki mai ana ma muli o ka ihona o ka nui haumāna i lawe ʻia mai e ka maʻi ahulau, a loaʻa he hoʻolālā e ʻoki i 10% o ko ka ʻōnaehana moʻohelu kālā i nā mea kau kānawai o ka mokuʻāina i kēia kau.
He $8,200 ke kumu kūʻai no Ჹɲʻloa, akā ʻo Koʻolau, ʻo ia ka mea e kāki i nā kamaʻāina he $131 no ka helu ʻai papa pākahi a me $345 no ka helu ʻai papa no nā malihini, ua hoʻolaulā ke kumu kūʻai kamaʻāina no nā haumāna Kanaka Maoli e noho ana ma waho o nā mokupuni.
ʻAʻohe hoʻolālā o laila e kāpae i ka hāʻawi kēkelē laeuhai pūnaewele no ka ʻIke Ჹɲʻ, wahi a Moore. Ua hana ʻia kekahi mau kūkākūkā e pili ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kekahi polokalamu like no ke kēkelē laepua ma UH West Oʻahu.
“ʻAʻole i mahuʻi iki ʻia ka lanakila o kēia polokalamu a ua kono maila mākou i nā kumu hou he nui,” wahi a Moore. “E lawe aku ana mākou i kēia i ka mamao loa o ko mākou hiki ʻana ke hehi aku.”
