Steve Hansen, General Manager

We all remember our school lessons about the Thanksgiving

tradition. The Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. The

Pilgrims went ashore and built a town called Plymouth, but they

nearly starved to death because they didn't know how to grow

crops in their new country. The local Indian tribe came to the

rescue, bringing food and friendship; and the Pilgrims and Indians sat down

together for prayer and feasting together.

But did you know Hawaii’s King Kamehameha III chose the uniquely

American holiday of Thanksgiving to be a national holiday of the Hawaiian

Kingdom, fourteen years before President Lincoln proclaimed it a Holiday in

America?

Despite the constant warfare in ancient Hawaii, there was one season of the

year when warfare was absolutely prohibited. The Makahiki season was a

period of four lunar months, running approximately from November through

February. Since warfare was prohibited during Makahiki, there were many

sports competitions accompanied by prizes and feasting. There were surfing

competitions, boxing, and wrestling. There was heavy gambling on the

outcomes of the competitions, with stakes that sometimes included even one's

own bones ("You bet your bones”).

The King had observed that over the years that the missionaries and other

Americans living in Honolulu celebrated an annual Thanksgiving holiday, also

with prayers and feasting. He made inquiries, and learned how the holiday had

gotten started in America and how widely it was celebrated there. But Hawaii

already had a national holiday at the end of November, so the King chose

December 31 to be Thanksgiving. He issued a Royal Proclamation declaring

that December 31, 1849 would be a national holiday of prayer and

thanksgiving. On that day the King and royal court and their families, together

with American residents of Honolulu, and the missionaries, all assembled for

prayers at Kawaiaha'o Church. When the church service ended, there was a

lu'au -- a feast, with dishes cooked in the Mission House across from the

church and also some food brought by the King and

the American residents.

I am all in favor of re-establishing a Makahiki

Season that covers both physical and verbal warfare!

This year when someone wishes you Happy

Thanksgiving wish them a Happy Makahiki back!

With Aloha,

4th Annual

Diabetes Day

Veteran’s Day

Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November

11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed

Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance

Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I;

major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of

the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously

observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954. Veterans Day is not to be

confused with Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S.

military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service.

Roselani Place and Ola Na Mele Productions invite you to join our

residents to Picnic for Poki at 11:00 AM at the Historic Kaahumanu

Church in Wailuku Town, 103 South High Street on Thursday,

November 15, 2018. Our featured guest with live Hawaiian

entertainment will be Kaleo Phillips.

Born and raised in Lahaina, Maui, Jason Kaleonalani Phillips,

affectionately known as Kaleo, has been a figure in the Maui music

scene for over 30 years. Coming from a musical family background,

Kaleo has been blessed to flourish in music playing professionally

with a variety of Hawaiian music artists and touring with bands across the globe. In 2004, Kaleo, along with

Josh Kahula and Pi‘ilani Arias, formed the trio Pono and released a debut album, Home of Mine, which was

received with rave reviews.

Bring your lunch with you and enjoy coffee and fresh baked cookies from Roselani Place. Relax under the

monkey pod tree for an hour or so at this free event, which is open to the public.

Picnic for Poki is held every third Thursday on the month to continue bringing the spirit of aloha and

Hawaiian music to the Maui community in honor of the late Allen "Braddah Poki" Pokipala. Braddah Poki

was dedicated to sharing Hawaiian music throughout various venues in Hawaii.
