Kamehemeha parade

Aloha e ka 'ohana o Ka Wai Ola o OHA. Yesterday was the "unofficial" lā hānau of Ka Mō'ī Kamehameha 'Ekahi, keikikāne a Kekui'apoiwa a me Keoua. I am a mo'opuna the Kamehameha 'ohana, so I enjoyed the photos in the Honolulu Advertiser See LETTERS on page 3

LETTERS from page 2 of the HFD's fire fighters draping ho'okupu lei on our great ancestor. I also enjoyed Hālau Hula 01ana's nahenahe hula in front of the old government building. I also enjoyed the 85th King Kamehameha Floral Parade whieh I had to watch on television because of a hewa I had done and am now paying for as a pa'ahao. 1 was very hau'oli to see my mom's good friend, Mrs. Keahi Allen, and Kumu Keali'i Reichel as the MCs. They both did a terrific job honoring our first, real mō'ī. The floats were beautiful, and the pā'ū units were a site to see. Keep up the good work for us Hawaiians, nā kānaka maoli. Mahalo nui loa kākou. Aloha ke Akua. Keith Ke'eaumoku Mews Hālawa
