Editor, The Tribune-Herald:
This is the first time I have written a letter to the editor of any newspaper.
Just couldn’t resist Mr. Lanakila Brandt’s invitation in his letter to you about a Hula Contest, seeking a rebuttal or an augmentive comment.
Have neither to offer, but do have a comment:
How could he or anyone question the integrity of the judges made up of Masters of the Hula, such as Mrs. Lokalia Montgomery and Miss Iolani Luahine. Continue reading
By LANAKILA’ BRANDT
I am writing as chief instructor of the Lanakila’ Brandt Dancers, a participating halau hula in the recent Miss Hula Hawaii Contest and its companion Group Competition, conducted as an adjunct to the 1971 Merry Monarch Festival.

Ia oe e Ka-La e alohi nei,
Ma na welelau o ka Honua,
E hai ae oe i kou kani,
I ka malamalama oikelakela,
Nau i noii nowelo aku,
Pau na pali paa i ka ikeia,
Ike oe i ka nani a o Himela,
I ka hene wai-olu lawe malie,
He mauna i lohia i ke onaona,
Kaulana i ka nani me ke kiekie,
Kiekie o Kalani noho mai luna,
Nau i a’e na kapu o Kahiki,
Hehihehi ku ana i ka huku ale,
I ke kai halai lana malie—
Kiinaia aku na Pae Moku—
A i hoa kuilima nou e Kalani,
Ma ia mau alanui malihini,
Au i olali hookahi ai,
O ke ao o ka lama kou kokua,
A o ka Hoku no kou alakai,
Lilo ai mea ole na enemi,
Lehelehe eueu hana lokoino,
E ola o Kalani a mau loa,
A kau i ke ao malamalama.
[Let’s take good care of one another, and ourselves as well! Be kind.]
