He mau lula hou ma ka ʻinikua ʻAhahui Lawelawe Lapaʻau Hawaiʻi no ka maʻi ʻaʻai.
ʻO ia aʻela kekahi poʻo nūhou o kēia lā, ka lā 16 o ʻOkakopa, he Pōʻakahi. Welina e nā makamaka heluhelu. ʻO Ke Aolama kēia a penei ka nūhou.
Ma ka lula ʻinikua o ka ʻAhahui Lawelawe Lapaʻau Hawaiʻi, ua hoʻēmi ʻia ihola ka ʻimi ʻana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai o ka poʻe wāhine. Ma mua, ʻimi ʻia aku ka maʻi ʻaʻai ma ka hapa lalo o ka pūʻao i kēlā me kēia makahiki no nā wāhine i piha nā makahiki he 21 a i ka piha ʻana o nā makahiki he 65. Akā, i kēia manawa, ua emi ihola, he hoʻokahi manawa o nā makahiki ʻekolu. A ʻo ka ʻimi ʻana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai ma ka waiū, i kēia manawa, no nā wāhine wale nō i piha nā makahiki he 40 a ʻoi. Ma mua, inā ua piha nā makahiki he 35 i ka wahine, ua hiki ke ʻimi ʻia ka maʻi ʻaʻai o ka waiū. ʻO ke kumu i emi ai ka manawa o ka ʻimi ʻia ʻana aku o ka maʻi ʻaʻai, ua ʻōlelo ʻia, ʻaʻole pono ka ʻimi pinepine ʻana, a e lilo paha ia ʻimi pinepine ʻana i mea e pōʻino ai ke kino o ka wahine. Akā, kau ihola ka weli o kekahi mau wāhine no ka manaʻo, inā e kali a hala ʻelua makahiki, a laila, e ʻimi ʻia a loaʻa ka maʻi ʻaʻai, ua hala paha ka Puʻulena, ua laha loa. Wahi a ka hui ʻinikua, no ka poʻe wāhine welo maʻi ʻaʻai, ʻaʻole nō e pili nā lula hou iā lākou.
ʻAkahi nō a lanakila ʻo Hawaiʻi ma luna o ka hoa paio o ka ʻAhahui Mauna Komohana i ka hopena pule nei. ʻO San Jose State ka hoa paio, a hāʻule pahū ihola lākou ma ka helu ʻai he 37 i ka 26. I lanakila nā Koa Ānuenue ma muli o ka holo ʻana o Diocemy Saint Juste. He 202 āna ʻīā i holo ai a he ʻekolu āna ʻai holo, ʻo kekahi o lākou ʻai holo, he ʻapona. ʻO ka nui o nā manawa a Saint Juste i holo ai me ka pōpō, he 39, a ʻo ka nui loa ia ma ka moʻolelo o ke Kulanui o Hawaiʻi. ʻO ke kolu kēia o ka hoʻokūkū a Juste i holo ai he 200 a ʻoi i kēia kikina nei. ʻO ka mea e kaumaha ai ka naʻau, ʻo ia ka ʻeha ʻana o ke kuli o John Ursua ma ka hapahā ʻelua. A e ʻike ʻia auaneʻi ka hopena o kona kuli i kēia pule.
Eia mai kā kākou ʻōlelo noʻeau,
Malu ke kula, ʻaʻohe keʻu pueo.
ʻO ia hoʻi, ua maluhia.

ʻO “ʻAhahui Lawelawe Lapaʻau Hawaiʻi,” ʻo “hapa lalo o ka pūʻao,” a ʻo “wāhine welo maʻi ʻaʻai,” nau ia mau ʻōlelo i haku? Malihini loa ia mau ʻōlelo iaʻu iho, ʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi “hapa lalo o ka pūʻao” ma “Anatomia,” ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka “welo maʻi” ma nā nūpepa, ʻaʻole paha i hoʻopuka mua ʻia kahi “ʻAhahui Lawelawe Lapaʻau Hawaiʻi.”
Inā pēlā, nui koʻu mahalo i ke aʻa i ka haku ʻana i ka ʻōlelo hou no kēia mau mea koʻikoʻi ma kēia ao hou e noho nei kākou.
