Ma muli o ka lahana maʻi COVID, huli ka DOE i ke aʻo paʻeʻe i mea e pale ke kaiaulu mai i ka maʻi COVID-19.

Me he mea lā, ua holoi ʻia ihola ka wā o ke aupuni Hawaiʻi! Pehea lā e aʻo ai i ko kākou moʻolelo Hawaiʻi me kēia ʻole loa o ka ʻike?
ʻO kahi pane a mākou ma Awaiaulu ka papahana ʻo Māhuahua. Ua noke a ʻimi he 14 hoa unuhi i ka ʻike mai nā waihona ʻike ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi no ka ʻikepili o 16 kumuhana nui, mai ka wā mai o ke aupuni Hawaiʻi. Kapa ʻia ka huina o loko o ia mau kumuhana pākahi he ʻohina. Na Puakea Nogelmeier lāua ʻo Kauʻi Sai-Dudoit i alakaʻi i ka hui. A pau nā makahiki ʻelua o ia papahana, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka papahana Kīpapa ma kona ʻano he kahua hoʻāʻo. ʻO ka hana nui o ka papahana Kīpapa Educator Resources, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoʻopiha pono ʻana o ka ʻike e pili ana i ia mau ʻohina ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi he 16 maiā Māhuahua mai. ʻOhiʻohi ʻia ka ʻike mai nā waihona ʻike like ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi ka Hawaiʻi State Archives, ka Hale Bihopa, nā nūpepa a puke ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi a Pelekānia hoʻi.
