| ``Eli`eli kūlana o `Āina`ike The words to this `ōlelo no`eau or ancient Hawaiian proverb translates to say: Profound is the nature of `Āina`ike. It references a person who is respected for his or her knowledge. There is a play on the words, `eli`eli (profound and deep) and `Āina`ike (land of knowledge). `Āina`ike is a wahi pana – a traditional and storied place that was widely known of in ancient times. Located in the moku of Kona, it is more commonly referred to and known as the Waimea district that is located on the west end of Kaua`i Island. It is the basis of this `ōlelo no`eau that motivates our vision to perpetuate the essence of Hawaiian knowledge and cultural practices. The Ka`ie`ie Foundation fulfills its mission through the work of Hālau Palaihiwa O Kaipuwai and the Kaua`i Heritage Center...by teaching, sharing and promoting the traditional values and wisdom of our Hawaiian ancestors. Join us in our quest to continue to bring special cultural education opportunities and experiences to Kaua`i’s community! Take a stroll through our web site to learn more... |
