Kū nā kānaka no ka pono o ka poʻe ʻĀkia ʻAmelika.
ʻO ia aʻela kekahi poʻo nūhou o kēia lā, ka lā 29 o ka mahina ʻo Malaki, he Pōʻakahi. Welina e nā makamaka. ʻO Ke Aolama kēia a penei ka nūhou.
I ka Pōʻaono nei, ʻākoakoa aku nei nā kānaka he mau haneli ka nui ma ke Kapikala i Honolulu nei no ke kū ʻana i ka pono o nā ʻĀkia ʻAmelika. A pēlā nō i kū ai nā kānaka he nui a puni ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻia. Ua māhuahua loa aʻela ka hoʻokae ʻili a me ka hana ʻino weliweli i ka poʻe ʻĀkia ʻAmelika mai ka wā mai i hoʻomaka ai ka pāhola ʻana o ka maʻi ahulau COVID-19. Ma ka makahiki 2020, ʻo nā kalaima makawela i hana ʻia i nā ʻĀkia ʻAmelika, ua piʻi aʻela he ʻeono pākeneka, akā, ʻo nā kalaima makawela a pau, ua emi ihola he 145 pākeneka.
Ua kī ʻia iho nei kekahi kanaka i ka pū a make i ka pō Pōʻaono nei ma ʻAiea. ʻO Malakai Maumalanga ka inoa o ua kanaka lā a ua piha nā makahiki he 45 iā ia. I ka wā e ʻōpiopio ana ʻo Maumalanga, he lālā ʻo ia no kekahi pūʻulu hana kolohe, akā, ma hope mai, ua hoʻololi ihola ʻo ia i ke ʻano o kona nohona me ka manaʻo e hahai mai ma hope ona nā ʻōpiopio e hele ana i ke ala kūpono ʻole. A ua kō nō kona manaʻo, he nui nā ʻōpiopio āna i kōkua ai ma ka hui ʻo nā Hoa Kanaka Makua no nā ʻŌpiopio. Ua hai ʻia ʻo ia e ia hui i ka makahiki 2002. A ua hele ʻo ia i ke kulanui a loaʻa maila ke kēkelē lae pua a me ke kēkelē lae oʻo ma ka hana lawelawe kanaka. ʻO ka make ana o Maumalanga, he pepehi kanaka ia ma ke kēkelē ʻelua, a aia nō nā mākaʻi ke noiʻi akula.
Eia mai kā kākou ʻōlelo noʻeau,
ʻAʻohe kolopā nāna e une.
He ʻōlelo kēia no ke kanaka poʻo paʻakikī.
