[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674897, member: 19522"] There is a great, joyful tremendous cultural renaissance in Hawaii amongst the younger generations of Kanaka Maoli, who have studied the language and learned the traditions of old. These young folk are hard at work cultivating, teaching, and perpetuating the old ways. They have picked up the torch, lit the way for those to come, and brought pride and hope for future generations. They believe wholeheartedly, that those generations before them, set a solid foundation that deserves recognition and a place of honor. I believe there will always be someone, who will look to the past, see the value in the old ways and help to continue tradition. My children's people were an oral culture, and great care was given to remembering family history and genealogy, in the form of reciting chants, dancing hula and story telling. I do believe that those who have come before us, have a great impact on us, as well as those yet to come. We may not have recognized it when we were younger, but I think there are those who have taken it upon themselves to be the "torch bearers." In this SuZir, you are the torch bearer, the candle lighter, and I believe through your efforts and example, there will be someone who will see the significance and value of this honor. Keep on keeping on dear, God bless you for your steadfast commitment, and your watch care. In this fast paced quickly evolving world, it is wonderful to know that folks are still making great effort to carry the ways of old, and pass them forward. Mahalo nui for sharing (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
