Kū Hanauna was composed as a way to commemorate the Class of 2000’s educational journey at Kamehameha Schools-‐Kapālama. The metaphor of a plant growing in the forest symbolizes our collective experiences at KS-‐Kapālama.
Our growth through education started at different points in our lives. Some classmates entered Kamehameha in Kindergarten, others at 4th grade, 7th grade, 9th grade, and a few came and left in between. Regardless of an individual’s tenure at KS-‐Kapālama, we consider all whom attended at any time to be members of KS-Kapālama Class of 2000.
Whether we realize it or not, we are a reflection of all our kumu. Each of them helped us define who we are today, and there came a point in which they let us go into the world to face our own future. We came in as individuals, we bonded as a class, and then we departed again as individuals knowing that there was no turning back. Our educational journey at KS-‐Kapālama had come to an end. KS-‐Kapālama is unique in the sense that it has a residential community that serves as a home away from home for those who come to Kapālama from the neighboring islands and beyond. While we call different communities “home”, what connects us all is that our kūpuna come from the islands of Hawai‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i, Lāna‘i, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, Ni‘ihau, and Kaho‘olawe. Together, we brought the valued traits of each island and of our kūpuna from whom we descend, and we went forth into a new era. We are grateful and appreciative of all those whom have nurtured us, and we will remain forever indebted to Ke Ali‘i Pauahi until the end of our days.
Kū Hanauna! Behold, a new generation!
I mua e nā pōki‘i a inu i ka wai‘awa‘awa, ‘a‘ohe hope e ho‘i mai ai!
Go forth young brothers and drink of the bitter waters for there is no turning back!

E hō‘a‘a i ka lama i kahua pa‘a ē Pa‘a ka ulu waokele o Kaiona ē Onaona i ka maka ke ‘ike aku ē He kūlana ha‘aheo no nā pōki‘i lā ē Ki‘ei nā maka lehua i uka ē Kupu a mohala mai nā lau lama ē Lamalama Hawai‘i, ke ‘ōlino nei ē I ka wai‘awa‘awa e ola nō ē Nou ka hiehie o nā umu lā ē Kū ka lau lama i ka malu lani ē Ani meha nā pua i ke ao ē ‘A‘ohe hope e ho‘i mai ai ē Mai Hawai‘i a Ni‘ihau ē Kū hanauna me ka ‘ike loa lā ē Loa ka helena a he Mililani ē Nani mau loa ā pala lau hala lā ē Ua ola, ua noa, ua poni nō ē |
The lama is rooted in a firm foundation The forest of Kaiona is intact Attractive to the eye of the beholder A position of pride for the young ones The lehua petals gaze upland The multitude of lama sprout and grow Hawai‘i is enlightened, shimmering Even in the bitter waters, there is life The worthiness of the trees is for you The multitude of lama remain in the protection of ancestors The flowers beckon the light of day in solitude For there is no turning back From Hawai‘i to Ni‘ihau Behold, a new generation with profound knowledge The journey has been long, yet appreciated It remains forever in beauty until the hala leaf fades It lives, it is free, it is anointed indeed |
This oli aloha may be used by the members of Kamehameha Schools –
Kapālama Class of 2000 for purposes that bring honor, pride, and aloha
to our class and to Kamehameha Schools.
I mua Kamehameha!
