About nupepa

Just another place that posts random articles from the Hawaiian Newspapers! It would be awesome if this should become a space where open discussions happen on all topics written about in those papers!! And please note that these are definitely not polished translations, but are just drafts!!! [This blog is not affiliated with any organization and receives no funding.

J. M. Kaapuwai death announcement? 1910.

It seems J. P. Kaapuwai, the composer of the previous kanikau for Eda Kalua reports on the death of J. M. Kaapuwai. The article, and much of the page upon which it appears is hardly legible.

Kanikau for Eda Kalua by J. P. Kaapuwai, 1921.

KANIKAU NO EDA KALUA.

E uwe helu mai o Kaapuwai,
He aloha ino no kuu leihulu. Continue reading

Salt harvesting at Hanapepe, 1967.

Salt harvest near end at historic Hanapepe ponds

HANAPEPE, Kauai—Autumn rains soon will signal the close of the salt-making season at Hanapepe’s historic Salt Pond area.
