Aloha, Im working with a friend and colleague, Dr. Keaoopuokalani Nesmith who is doing a presentation on the vast chief (highest chief) King Kaumualii, to Kamehameha I and father of Queen Kapiolani ; the wife of King Kalakaua of the Kalakaua Dynasty. Keao’s presentation this , Thursday, September the 19th, 2019 , he will be talking about the King Kaumuali’i vision for the land and his influence with King Kalakaua. Dr. Nesmith was born in Kekaha, of The West Kauai. He is a linguist in ‘oleo Hawai’i and ‘olelo Niihau which he learned from speaking with his great-grandmother, grandmother, and support of his surrounding Niihau friends. Keao also helps with Napali Coast ‘Ohana, where we also have worked together before. He is also an educator, translator and culture practitioner. He taught in Hilo, Hawai’i and Manoa at the University of Hawaii were he revived his graduate and post- graduate degrees; Tahiti and New Zealand where he received his PhD. Dr. Nesmith currently practices at Manoa, and has translated English literature into Olelo , such as The Hobbit, Alice in a Wonderland, and The Little Prince. His new releases in ‘olelo translation is on J.K. Rowlings ‘Harry Potter’s Sorcery Stone and currently working on ‘Chronicles of Narnia’. On Thursday, Dr. Nesmith, a co-developer of Phase 1 of Kuapapa o Kaua’i for and with The County of Kauai, the resource for moku, ahupua’a, place names and mo’olelo during Kaumuali’i’s time. He is the model for the statue of Friends of Kaumuali’i , a Kaumualii statuette sculptored by Saim Caglayan , that will be placed on The West Kaua’i. His speaking session will give the audience time to inquire and get feedback on both Kuapapa and the tall Kaumuali’i statue. I recommend coming to his talk, to learn about the transition that was happening then, that great influences of the times, and events we see now today.
