Many people regret not seeking and preserving information about their family history. This book is a collection of stories about the author's Maori Chinese whanau (family) and their extended Maori relatives. It was written for the mokopuna (grandchildren) and those yet to be born. The stories open a window to the past in ways that will help the mokopuna to know who they are and where they come from. The author describes the people, places, experiences, and events that have shaped her life and that of her siblings. The notion that "it takes a village to raise a child" is highlighted within the narratives. The stories emphasise the importance of resilience and determination when faced with adversity such as the effects of poverty and racism. The author describes the relationships, emotional and cultural experiences, and whanau aroha (love) that impacts positively or negatively on a child's sense of belonging.

Ka'u District

By: Marge and Dennis Elwell Cindy Orlando

Ka'u is the largest district in Hawai'i and the southernmost. Historically, it is important as the most likely landing area for the first Hawaiians and the location of the first settlement. It was the location of some of the last battles for control of Hawai'i island, and the decision of Ka'u's last ali'i, Keoua Ku'ahu'ula, to agree to a meeting with Kamehameha, which he believed would lead to his death, was a crucial event in the creation of a unified Hawaiian kingdom. After Western contact, the sugar industry dominated the economy of Ka'u, and ranching was also important. Although the sugar industry closed in 1996, the rural character has been maintained, and Ka'u now enjoys some of the longest stretches of undeveloped highway and coastline in the state. The appeal of the district's natural beauty owes much to the Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, and Ka'u has a unique location between the two segments of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
