In the spirit of “E Ulu Koa,” Kamehameha Publishing presents a newly updated version of our beloved title, Pauahi: The Kamehameha Legacy by George Kanahele. Like the koa, Ke Aliʻi Pauahi stands as a symbol of bravery and strength in times of great change. We venerate Pauahi—as the makuahine that has and continues to shape Kamehameha Schools—to invoke her ʻōpū aliʻi as a beacon of hope for the lāhui.

We are pleased to announce the release of Nā ʻOno o Ke Kai (“the delicacies of the sea”)—a reference to the delicious Native fish of Hawai‘i.

This standard deck of playing cards features thirteen iʻa commonly found near reefs that were essential to Kānaka in traditional times and continue to play a significant dietary and cultural role in Hawaiʻi today.

Nā ʻOno o Ke Kai introduces a Hawaiian worldview on fishing and provides opportunities for haumāna ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi to practice vocabulary and basic sentence structures.

E pāʻani pepa kākou—let's play cards!

Created by Maya L. Kawailanaokeawaiki Saffery

3 x 4". Includes 52 cards (standard deck), instruction booklet, and quick reference sheets in Hawaiian and English.

For the first time, Alani Apioʻs landmark trilogy is available together in one volume!

In a story that spans three generations, Kāmau: The Trilogy delves into the lives of a Kanaka ‘Ōiwi family who loses their long-time family home when the land it sits on is sold to a developer. Alika shoulders the burden of taking care of his family financially. Michael fights to keep their ancestral traditions alive. Stevie grapples with who she is and who she wants to be.

Haunted by voices from their past, each of them struggles to understand the choices others have made and to find peace within themselves.

Powerful and moving, Kāmau: The Trilogy explores the complex issues Kānaka ‘Ōiwi face in modern Hawai‘i and what one family does to kāmau—to carry on.

Lonoikamakahiki! Looking for a gift that supports ‘Ōiwi artists and brings Hawaiian worldviews, values, and practices indoors out across the pae ‘āina and beyond? Look no further, we’ve got you covered. We are excited to announce the release of our latest collaboration— Likoliko No‘eau: A Flourishing Tradition of Contemporary Hawaiian Art.

One of the most compelling ways to bring Hawaiian worldviews and values into a space is through the art spotlighted on its walls. Likoliko Noʻeau: A Flourishing Tradition of Contemporary Hawaiian Art features the work of nine established Native Hawaiian artists in a first-of-its-kind art print collection. These sixteen images capture some of the beauty and complexity of the modern Hawaiian experience. Enriching the collection are short artist biographies and insights into their background, purpose, and process. The art prints are available individually or as a set.

Visit kamehamehapublishing.org/likoliko-noeau for more information.

One of the most compelling ways to bring Hawaiian worldviews and values into a space is through the art spotlighted on its walls. Likoliko Noʻeau features the work of nine established Kanaka Maoli artists in a first-of-its-kind art print collection. The collection’s images capture the beauty and complexity of the modern Hawaiian experience. Biographical information for each artist is also shared, along with insights into their background, purpose, and process.

The artfolio is designed to make Native Hawaiian art more accessible to a wider audience in settings such as schools, homes, community centers, and places of work. This collection highlights work by Solomon Robert Nui Enos, Roen Hufford, Imaikalani Kalahele, Al Lagunero, Marie McDonald, Meleanna Aluli Meyer, Harinani Kalohelani Orme, Carl Franklin Kaʻailāʻau Pao, and Abigail Romanchak.
