9/ Tape of radio program "Ka Leo
Hawai'i," Catalog no. 24.65A,

Laboratory. [Mr. Kimura also
submitted a tape recording and
transcripts of Hawaiian language and
interviews. The t r a n s c r i p t s appear in
the Appendix of this Report.]
10/ In Hawaiian you do not speak of
coming from a place, but belonging to
i t , much as you belong to a family.
The same word n£ (belong to) used to
mean one is from a place is also used
to say one "owns" land, as illustrated
below:
No Hanalei 'o Kaleiheana.
(Kaleiheana is from Hanalei.)
belongs to - Hanalei - name
marker - Kaleiheana
No Kaleiheana 'o Hanalei.
(Kaleiheana "owns" Hanalei.)
belongs to - Kaleiheana - name
marker - Hanalei
The word no_ is technically a
preposition in Hawaiian and there is
no real word for "own." The word no
is also one of a pair of prepositions,
na being the other. Both these
prepositions t r a n s l a t e as "belonging
to" in English. The preposition na_ is
used for things that are more like
disposable belongings such as tools,
bowls, food, and even spouses. The
preposition no_ is used for more
intimate things that one cannot
dispose of such as parts of one's
body, one's name, one's parents, and
things that envelope one like
clothing. The contrast between the
use of the two possessive prepositions
no and na is part of a contrast
between 0-class or intimate and
inalienable possessive terms and
A-class or dominated alienable
possessed terms. Then, the grammar of
the language supports the contention
held by some that ownership of land
similar to ownership of cattle in the
Western sense is not a Hawaiian
concept and is foreign to Hawaiian
speakers. Conversely, however, the
concept of land as inalienable,
enveloping, and, even as kin, is
foreign to American thinking.

1899): 2.
12/ Hawaiian tradition requires
that one release one's attachment to ».
person who has died by urging him to
pass on to join with others in the
next world. One shows one's
attachment, however, in recallinq
before the body shared experiences,
joys, and sorrows, and even by chiding
the person for leaving when so much
remains to be done and enjoyed.
13/ Produced by the Bishop Museum,
1981.
14/ Almost a l l Hawaiians profess
Christianity today and there is a
strong Christian tradition in Hawai'i*
This is not to say that there have not
continued to be individuals who have
rejected Christianity in favor of
traditional Hawaiian religion, from
the time of the arrival of the
missionaries until today. The
Hawaiian Christian tradition, however,
coexists and has been blended with
traditional Hawaiian b e l i e f s , much
like Buddhism and Shintoism are
blended in Japan. Christianity and
traditional Hawaiian beliefs can
coexist quite well because
traditionally Hawaiians recognize, the
spiritual world to consist of beings
of human-like natures connected to man
and nature by genealogical links. The
Christian deity, however, is not
genealogically linked to mankind in
the Christian tradition, but is
representative of ultimate perfection.
