Miloliʻi

The last fishing village of Hawai'i I eall my home: Miloli'i! As a young boy, I grew up the old style way, not knowing its tme value until I started seeing how important it was for me to carry on my family's roots, our 'āina and aloha. We onee lived in tin shacks and our summer school was only a grass hut made from kiawe and lauhala. Till this day that grass hut stands as the last physical part of remembrance of the old. One thing is for sure. The value of the old will live on through our hearts so it will be in our minds. Let's preserve the old, even if there is no physical reminder left in the new. My love and

aloha to all Hawaiians from a peaeeful plaee in time. Richard Keokeo Taylor Miloli'i Village m
