Yes.
Mahalo. So we go back
Okay. Do whatever you want to do.
I don’t want to luhi you.
Only too bad, the fog came in.
Yes, no can see, I think we go turn around.
Okay.
I wonder, is there anyone else that you remember that lived up here that I should try to
talk to
[thinking] I can’t think of any one.
I know it’s been a while too.
Yes.
Wow, uhiwai.
Uhiwai.
Just settle in. [sheep call out] Is that a sound that you remember
[chuckling]
You know Hisa them the other day, were saying that used to have pili grass all out by
Pu‘u Ke‘eke‘e side.
Yes.
I guess the ladies, the families, used to go gather then send to Lä‘ie
Yes.
Amazing!
That pili grass, if you know how to weave ‘em, no mater how much rain, it won’t go
through.
Yes… I guess the only old buildings here now, is really the house you folks used to live
in
That’s all.
And then…
By the stables.
Yes, the stables. So the stable, then there’s one building on the side of the stable, you
know that other building
Yes, that used to be the shop.
The shop. This gate too good, this side it opens automatically.
Oh, I see.
If it works, otherwise you no go home [gate opens]. So, when you were young going
around like that, the küpuna didn’t really talk too much about mo‘olelo, this tradition or
how come this name is given like that
No.
You folks were too busy.
