This week's #MeleMinute features "E Mau Ka Haʻaheo o Pauahilani," composed by Ulu Nā Liko o Kaiona, the haku mele cohort from the upcoming junior class of Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha ma Kapālama. Rooted in the enduring legacy of Ke Aliʻi Pauahi, this mele honors our campuses, the winds of Kapālama, the lands she loved, and the generations of ʻŌiwi she entrusted to carry her vision forward. In partnership with Kāhuli Leo Leʻa, we challenge you to take a Mele Minute to swipe and test your mele knowledge! #MeleMinute #KamehamehaSchools #KeKulaOKamehameha #OlaPauahi

ʻAikupita. Haleakalā. Kapālama. These are more than place names. In the mele Lei Hiwahiwa o Kamehameha, we call upon the ʻāina, ua, and wai of Ke Ali’i Pauahi's life. This mele was composed by Nā Pua Maeʻole a Pauahi, the haku mele cohort from the upcoming senior class of Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha ma Kapālama. E Pauahilaninui ke aliʻi, ka wahine nona ka lei. Pauahilaninui the chiefess, the woman deserving of this lei.
