Hālau Kekuaokalāʻauʻalaʻiliahi
Nā Kumu Haunani & ʻIliahi Paredes
Wailuku, Maui
"Nani Wale Maunawili”

This expression of ke aloha pau ʻole - everlasting love - by Kumu Hula and Haku Mele ʻIliahi Paredes is for his mother, Dorothy Lee Paredes, of the Kaleleiki ʻohana of Maunawili, Oʻahu. Patriarch Samuel Kekuaokalāʻauʻalailiahi Kaleleiki and his wife, Adeline, raised their ʻohana in Maunawili on their ancestral land, Kamakalepo. The ʻohana welcomed Queen Liliʻuokalani to Kamakalepo, a serene haven amidst the turmoil of late 1800s.
