Oh reading companions of the ala ʻūlili, here we are following in our ancestral footsteps along the trail of our famous aliʻi nui of Hāmākua, ʻUmialīloa. Let us go forth together, and perhaps we shall come to know the righteous deeds of ʻUmi during the time of his youth, which solidified the foundation of ʻUmi's reign as mōʻī. This moʻolelo is of great value to us, the beloved lāhui, as a means of learning the works that make firm the foundation of a pono government. Therefore, dear friends, let us continue on in this moʻolelo that Keliikaapuni first published, and let us follow the generous aliʻi of Hāmākua, ʻUmialīloa! Na Kealaulili, Mea Kākau Koholālele, Hāmākua, Hawaiʻi June 14, 2014

I love this!! It reminds me of how our kupuna would write little parts of a larger moʻolelo each week or daily in the nupepa. I love how it leaves you wanting to read more. Canʻt wait till the next one!!
