The proverb “Ola nā iwi – The bones live” refers
to respected elders who are well-cared for by their families. Ola
Nā Iwi is a registry of biographical profiles of our kūpuna. Its
purpose is to provide opportunities for families to pay tribute to their
own beloved elders and to honor these hulu kūpuna throughout the global
community.
Our kūpuna are precious and dear to us all. In keeping
with the respect and protocol that is their traditional right, we remind
our readers that images and information contained in Ola Nā Iwi
belong to the families that provide them and are not to be used without
their owners’ consent.

Ka‘iwakīloumoku is proud to showcase

This time we have featured biographies written in both English and
ma ka ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i by Kapālama high school
students Kepo‘omaikalani Vierra and Kapuaonaona Roback, but
we look forward to sharing many more of these mo‘olelo hulu
kūpuna in months to come.
