Please join us for the official launch and book signing of Nā Hunahuna ʻIke Hawaiʻi | Hawaiian Insights by John Papa ʻĪʻī, presented in partnership with @bishopmuseum He Aupuni Palapala Nūpepa Project.
As a special gift for attendees, each book purchase will include a limited-edition reprint of the May 22, 1839, issue of Ke Kumu Hawaiʻi, featuring John Papa ʻĪʻī’s opening account, “Ka Moʻolelo o Kīnaʻu,” which also begins Nā Hunahuna ʻIke Hawaiʻi | Hawaiian Insights.
The evening will include a short program, light refreshments and drinks, and Hawaiian music by Heuaʻolu Sai-Dudoit and Doug Tolentino. The He Aupuni Palapala team will also be on hand to share more about their exciting work to preserve and provide access to Hawaiʻi’s nūpepa repository.
