By Elama Kanahele, Kimo Armitage and Keao Nesmith
The important oral tradition which passes historical information to the succeeding generation of Hawaii is documented and preserved in Aloha Niihau, a compilation of oral histories of three women from Niihau. Written in both the Niihau dialect of the Hawaiian language and in English, Aloha Niihau weaves together the stories of Emalia Licayan, Virginia Nizo, and Elama Kanahele. Offering a slice-of-life that is seldome seen, this piece also serves as a textbook that is intended to encourage Hawaiian children to seek literature as a creative outlet, as well as to celebrate the lifestyle of Niihau natives.
