The Garage Light is on: Nā Mele ʽO Bertelmann

8/1/2023

0 Comments

 
    We are gathered in the yard of the Bertelmann home in Kukio Village, Waimea for the third in the series: "Treasures in Our Own Backyard" (2013), presented by Pua Case and Ku'ulei Keakealani through Waimea Middle School.
    We have an array of multi-generational musical talents before us, a lei of beautiful, unique flowers that blend together to create something much greater than the sum of the parts.  As well as their music, the Bertelmann’s are ranchers and a major force behind the waʽa (canoe).  Kuʽulei Keakealani: “Today we have three generations of the Bertelmann ʽOhana.  This is Aunty Deedee Bertelmann, who is māmā of this group. Daughter Pomai, son in-law/ son Chadd, son Kealiʽi, daughter Kekoho, another daughter Lauaʽe and family friend Kapena.

    There are many layers to contemporary Hawaiian music, but from the very beginning was lōkahi ---  harmony or agreement.  Musically the concept of lōkahi is expressed as a harmonic blending of voices: Ka hui maikaʽi ʽana o nā leo mele.
    Aunty Deedee Keakealani Bertelmann: “For us, harmony is a big deal. We can’t sing and not have harmony, yeah? So with music, harmony is important, but when you look at life, harmony is also really important. We have to get along with each other. That’s what we based our life and our children’s lives on.” These are the layers and traditions of Hawaiian music that have traveled through the generations and call out from the Bertelmann garage on a regular basis.
    Ku'ulei: "Last week and the week before we started off with our Kupuna.  And it is to ask the question: ‘Who was your teacher?’ As we can see our focus is music. This is the legacy of the Bertelmann ʽOhana. I don’t want to do a lot of talking this session only because after the first song, I’m sure we’ll be all fine if no other words are said. Because their voices are absolutely a gift. Perhaps Aunty can tell us about a generation before her. Her teachers.”
    Aunty Deedee: “That’s a question you don’t often think about, yeah, were did it all start? You don’t even think about it cause you just do it. So when somebody poses that question: ‘Who taught you?’, I just remember as children in our home there was music all the time. It just kind of grows on you.  Some people say that it’s in your genes and perhaps it is.  I just know that in our home my mom sang. My mom had a beautiful soprano voice. My dad sang.  My dad also played instruments; he played the ukulele and the banjo.  There was always a comment that, Uncle Kimo, his name was Kimo, he would start a song but he never finished the song."

    Aunty Deedee: “Playing music was a constant thing.  I remember always coming to our home and music was always happening. Somebody always brought an instrument or picking up an instrument and music was always being sung. Then I remember because we were active church members going to church and of course we had an aunt who was the music director, who taught all the music and led the music in church. So eventually I would hear, my mom was talking on the phone, and she would come off and say, ‘O.k. Aunty Thelma said there’s practice tonight,’ and we would have to go and practice with Aunty Thelma.  So I’m sure that was part of it.”
    Learning an instrument the Hawaiian way is done by: Nana ka maka (look with your eyes); hoʽolohe pepeʽiao (listen with your ears); paʽa kou waha (close your mouth); hana ka lima (work with your hands).
    Aunty Deedee: “How did I even learn to play the ukulele? I just remember having it in my hand. I can’t remember where it started.  It must be cause my dad.  If an ukulele is laying around, today it’s no different. If they see you playing they eventually pick it up. So one of my granddaughters, her name is Anuhea, she’s 16, she’s playing the guitar now and she’s fortunate that she has her Uncle Chadd but she also learns a lot on her own so I’m watching the process and she’s  teaching herself. And then when Uncle Chadd’s here  she’ll say, ‘Uncle, what about this and how do you do this?’ So I think it’s both. You learn a lot on your own and you learn a lot from others.  She’s picking up a lot from the computer. Going on the computer and just learning from that.”

    Music has grounded this ʽohana in aloha and lōkahi as connections are made through mele within the ʽohana and within the community.
    Pomai: “To us, we actually had really good teachers.  It was the garage and actually the kitchen in this house is pretty famous too. If the walls could talk….Part of why I learned how to play was that I used to watch Aunty Auhea Puhi who used to sit on the freezer with us and we used to sit on the counter in the kitchen when it got too cold. We were all packed in there and I remember I used to be amazed that she used to change chords so fast. I was thinking we have a bunch of ukulele’s on the wall but I don’t know how to play em yet.
    "It was the same for Aunty Lorna’s garage. Because we used to go to Aunty Lorna’s house all the time, especially when Uncle Sol and Uncle Richard would come. The falsetto when the Hopiʽi brothers would sing.  Amazing.  Sometimes we’d be outside playing on the road or the backyard and we’d hear these haʽi that these men were singing and you’d come flying through to the front and you just kind of stand there like what is going on? The community was really good to us.”
PictureClayton Bertelmann
Later, when Aunty Deedee married Uncle Clay Bertelmann and had her own family, the musical traditions were perpetuated. “It’s really something because my husband and I would be singing and then eventually the children were the ones who would take the lead, doing the melody and we were in the background doing the harmony. Later when we would talk afterward Dad would say, ‘Did you notice they were singing and we had to do the background for them?’, which is good because you could see this happening.”
    Kuʽulei: Mentioning Uncle, Uncle Clayton Bertelmann is the father, husband, Uncle. But this hale, this kitchen, this house, was home to many kanikapila. Most of the time for no occasion. Sometimes for occasion. But this is a childhood memory. This house and music, Uncle Clayton. There’s one particular song, “Pua Hone”. For me, I hear that song and I see this house or the kitchen or Uncle.

    Uncle Clay, voyaging canoe builder, captain, navigator, teacher contributed much in his too short life. Kealiʽi : “My father (Clay) passed away this year, 8 years ago (2004). When he was in the hospital before he passed away I would go into the room before we were leaving the hospital to come home and I would sing this song to him, even if he was, I think at times he was really incoherent and he couldn’t respond, but I knew that he could hear me because of the expressions that would come to his face. I would sing this song to him every night because it reminded me of when we were children and how they would sing it to us. It’s a song called ‘E Kuʽu Morning Dew’ by Uncle Kimura.”

Place
    The ʽāina has inspired many Hawaiian mele; legend associated with particular places is connected to contemporary stories, linking place with the past and the future. Kealiʽi: “This mele I’m going to sing for you right now is a mele titled Nā Puʽu. If you look, the puʽu to my left is puʽu hokuʽula and the puʽu to my right is pu’u hoaʽhoaka and it’s a mele that compares those two pu’u to a pair of lovers. Two friends of mine who are in a love affair; I wrote it to honor those two friends of mine. On the western facing slope there are two ohia trees and you can only see one from here. When I wrote the mele I was down in Lalamilo where you can actually see the trees and as I was sitting there composing the mele, those two ohia trees reminded me of the story of the lovers ohia and lehua. So in this mele it’s kind of intertwined this love story of ohia and lehua.  But puʽu hokuʽula is the place also where the god and goddess Wao and Makuakuamana were wed.  That landscape in particular for me represents the aloha between two people.”
    Kuʽulei: “I have something to interject.  If you do not know, now you will. Brother Kealii is the 2011 Kindy Sproat falsetto contest winner.  And this is the song he won it with.” As Kealiʽi sings, we look out across the plains of Mauna Kea stretching behind him and feel Keali`i’s strong connection to the puʽu behind us, we can imagine for a moment that we have been invited into the great stories of this land. 
    Keali'i:  "It was an honor to enter the falsetto contest this year.  I entered for many reasons. There was a few times that I got to go and sit on the lanai at Makanikahio and sit with Uncle Kindy before he passed away. And it was an honor because our families were pili together. My grandfather and their ʽohana, there was such a closeness there.  This mele I’m going to sing is a song that Uncle sang and if I’m not mistakes it was a song he learned when he was younger from the people in Miloliʽi. And really it’s a very simple song and it’s a song that just kind of talks about the delicacies from the ocean that we kanaka love to eat. I call it the fish song because I don’t think there was really a formal title for it. It was just a mele that he sang that talks about different types of fish and what you eat of that fish.”

    Kealiʽi: “My sister Laua’e is going to sing this song.  Written by Uncle Eddie Kamae and Mary Kawena Pukui.  So Tūtū Pukui is from Kaʽu and lived on Oʽahu in her adult life. When they wrote this song, she went back to Kaʽu with Uncle Eddie and wrote this song about places she came from.”

Ranching Lifestyle
The ranching life style is inextricably linked to Hawaiian music.
    Pomai: “… beyond the fact that Kuʽulei and us are family and we’re related through culture, but [we are connected] more specifically through our ranching lifestyle.  That lifestyle actually afforded us the opportunity to be with a lot of families. And all those families sang.  Whenever rodeo was pau, we sang, whenever rodeo was happening and we didn’t have to be roping or racing or something like that, we were under the trailers, parked side by side with the canvas over and we were cooking and singing.  We were really blessed to be raised in a good community where we always got together, equally important to what we got from home. That’s really what helped us too, to learn as much as we have. There’s that reinforcement too, not just within the household but within the community too.”
    Kuʽulei: “…growing up and being around the cowboys. Their fun songs; songs that have been way into the night, early in the morning. And if you want, just to call them kolohe songs, or songs that have a rascal nature to them.  When you have a chance to hear these songs, sometimes they make sense, sometimes not at all.  But, you know these are the times you might find my father dancing on the table. When you hear him go ‘Batman’, that’s one of those songs.”
    Keali`i: “We were raised singing and to love Hawaiian music.  My father loved Hawaiian music. The Sons of Hawai`i records, we grew up listening to that.  We had our own ranch; we were raised on the ranch. My dad them entered rodeo and they did those sorts of things. The music comes with the lifestyle and because they were cowboys, we loved country music and we still do. I’m hoping that my sister will sing a song.”
    Pomai: “We grew up watching Roy Anthony. I don’t know if anyone remembers Roy Anthony, but he was a big time live deal for us over here as little kids.  And we were really stoked because he’d always end up over here at our parties, through some way shape or form.”

 Waʽa
     The Bertelmann ʽOhana are musicians, dancers, composers and ranchers, but they are also of the sea.  Uncle Clay was instrumental in the creation of Makaliʽi, Moku o Keawe’s voyaging canoe as well as the onboard educational program that now takes place annually. Pua Case: “I never knew this yard for music.  I knew this yard and that kitchen table to be a place of very serious work and still is. Every time I come here, we in serious planning. You know we doing something serious. And that’s how I know this yard.  From the moment I sat on that table and Clayton Bertelmann was planning to build a canoe for his brother (Shorty), I’ve know this house to be that. So they have a whole other side of them that hopefully we’ll bring out.  They’re not just ranchers and not just singers, but they are also people of the sea.”
    It was through the canoe that Pomai met her husband Chadd Paishon, who had sailed on the Hōkūle’a with Uncle Clay as his captain. 
    Pomai: “Chadd’s family is a really amazing family.  His mom is an Aki and his dad was a Paishon.  His grandmother was a beautiful, beautiful song writer. Many songs of which you hear today being sung on the radio.  He has roughly, currently alive first cousins, about 40 of them.  Forty-seven of them.  And they all sing.”
     Chadd: “It’s no different like mom was saying for us for my family.  My weekends were spent with my grandmother.  Like Pomai said, she was a hula dancer, singer, composer.  But for us growing up in our house on Oʽahu, all of us cousins all knew what we were doing on the weekend. We were going to be with grandma at somebody’s house.  You were either going to be learning a song that she wrote or you were going to be learning the hula to that song.  That’s the only two choices.  Either you sing or you dance, you pick. It’s going to be one of the two.  So I picked singing, but I also dance.  Whenever we do have the chance to get together we all sing.

    Kuʽulei: “We have two beautiful girls join our hui. This is Hoʽoipo and Kaʽala, they are mahoe (twins).  Two more of Aunty Deedee’s grandchildren. Here’s Māmā, Pelika herself is a very talented ukulele player, singer.  I had heard that the ʽohana had taken a trip to New Zealand, recently.  I believe it was a conversation with Sister Pomai, and she said, ‘Oh, the mahoe were very entertaining.  They were really singing and playing, at different marae, they are really coming into their own.’ 
    They are classmates with my middle daughter and I will say, Nahe will come home and say, ‘The sisters taught me F today.’ So Aunty, yet another example of how, it’s to hoʽomau and that Ipo and Kaʽala are teaching my little one.”
 Keali`i: "This mele they’re going to sing: For a couple years, the three kids, my sister in-law worked for the University in Hilo. They would stay in Hilo and the kids would go to school in Keaukaha and this mele they’re going to sing is a mele about Keaukaha, a song titled Kamalani o Keaukaha."
 
Kamalani o Keaukaha by Lena Machado
 
Nani pua `a`ala onaona i ka ihu
E moani nei i ka pai pu hala
Mehana ku`u poli i ka hanu a ka ipo
I hui puia me ke aloha pumehana
 
 Beautiful, flowers sweetly fragrant
 Scented, gentle breeze in groves of hala
  My heart is warmed by my darling's breath
  Kiss sweetly fragrant with the warmest love

Carnation i wili `ia me maile lauli`i
`Iliwai like ke aloha pili polu
Darling sweet lei onaona o ia kaha
E ho`oipo nei me ke Kamalani o Keaukaha
 Carnation entwined with the small-leaved  maile
 Love moistly clinging, level as water's surface
 Darling, sweet fragrant lei of this place
 Sharing love with Keaukaha's favored child

Concluding Manaʽo
    Pomai: “There’s songs that are really, really beautiful to listen to and they all have their own messages. Each song, whether it’s traditional or not has a story. Every one of them, if you listen carefully enough, if you pay attention to it enough, if you’re actually able to sit quietly and listen to it and become ma`a (familiar) to it, you recognize there’s a story in it.  And so I think we’ve been very, very fortunate to grow up in an amazing place, but we’ve also been very fortunate to grow up with amazing people.  Who shared music with us.  In many, many ways I don’t think they realized they were teaching us something that was invaluable. To understand and to become familiar with our language again and then to interpret and be able to understand all of the content and all of the lessons that are embedded in those stories so our lives have been more rich because of that.  That is something we value.”
    Kuʽulei: “Last week at Aunty Lorna’s there were many highlights, but one of my highlights was hearing Uncle Willy say to his children, who were there and his two grandsons that were there that he was happy that they were hard workers. In essence to me he was conveying the message that he was proud of them.  Then to hear Willy Boy say mahalo to his mother and his father for everything.”

WMS seventh graders learn to take care of the land                      West Hawai'i Today August 27, 2018

“Malama Ahupuaa,” the title of the latest Waimea Middle School oral history book, funded by Ike Hawaii and Hawaii Community Foundation, recently became available on Amazon. The book is the result of an oral history project conducted by Leesa Robertsonʻs Waimea Middle School seventh graders during the 2017 / 2018 school year.
The oral history project was a component of an integrated curriculum approach to learning created by the seventh grade team for the 2017-18 school year, where all content areas were engaged in and intersected around the theme of “Malama Ahupuaa”.
   “We took the three sections of our Lalamilo ahupuaa, or land divisions – makai (coastal), kula (mid-section) and mauka (mountain) – and focused our lessons and activities around life in those areas,” explained seventh grade science teacher Jade Bowman.
   Students explored the different areas of the ahupuaa, collected data which was integrated into the math curriculum, studied the flora and fauna, and did service projects.
   “We started with makai and learned about Kawaihae and Pelekane Bay. Students learned the history and the moolelo of the area and the connection between voyaging and the ahupuaa, and how what we do on land ultimately affects the ocean,” said Bowman.
   There is much knowledge and wisdom in stories and, “Students learned the stories of the sections of the ahupuaa and wrote their own renditions of the myths. They learned the cultural significance of the plants and animals,” she added. 

PictureInterviewee Pua Case shares some life stories with Shane Beeder and Ariana Shimioka
   In Robertson’s class, a year-long oral history project explored malama ahupuaa through the eyes and voices of 11 community members. Working in teams, the students spent the first half of the year gaining the skills they would need by interviewing a peer and then a family member. Students collected biographical data, researched and created a timeline and a question outline, and practiced interview protocol.  
   The interviewees ranged in age from 29 to 86 and came from a variety of backgrounds and experiences that gave students a glimpse into individual perspectives of how they malama – or cared for – the ahupuaa and how they connected to the land and to each other.  
   A sentiment expressed in some way by all of the interviewees was that to malama something, you need to really know it, observe it and experience it. Manny Veincent and Mahina Patterson, the oldest and youngest interviewees, respectively, shared that sentiment.
   While working for Hawaii Fish and Game in the Pohakuloa area of Mauna Kea, Veincent spent time camping in the wilderness to monitor and capture geese for breeding.
   “That areas between the Mauna Loa and Hualalai mountains was where those geese were. In the dark you could hear them crying. After a while, your senses become like an animal. You knew where the birds were,” he said.
Before becoming an environmental education specialist for The Kohala Center, Patterson did conservation work in the same area. Growing up exploring the land around her neighborhood, her early experiences set her on a path to malama ahupuaa.
   “My fondest memories are going into the pasture that borders the wet side neighborhoods. So every chance that I got I would go and explore in the pastures and the streams back there,” “But I looked it up as I got older and found out that the name of that stream is Lalakea and that it's one of the streams that feeds Hiilawe (a many storied waterfall in Waipio),” she said.

PictureINterviewee Ma'ulili Dickson shares some canoe stories with Rovi Afaga and Lindsay Tagudan.
   Malama ahupuaa also means to take care of the culture, the people and perpetuate practices and protocols that will travel into the future as wisdom to guide those that come after.
  
Micah Komohoalii – kumu hula, cultural practitioner, another of the interviewees – shares his deep knowledge of the Waimea district through chants and hula in his halau and through community classes.
   “
My halau specializes in dances of our own backyard, of our ahupuaa. The only thing we learn in the halau are the chants of Waimea, chants of Waimea's rain, its fog, its winds, its place here and the heiau, the alii that were here,” he explained.
  
The re-emergence of the canoe culture has been a guiding light for malama ahupuaa. Two of the interviewees, Maulili Dickson and Chadd Paishon, are mainstays of Hawaii Island’s canoe program whose guiding motto, coined by canoe pioneer Clay Bertelmann, raises awareness of the connection between the health of the canoe and the health of the island: He waa he moku, he moku he waa, meaning the canoe is the island, the island is the canoe.
  
As the canoe’s quartermaster, Dickson grew up in the ocean and providing food for his family, which eventually grew to include the ohana waa (canoe family). He is currently is working with the Haunana Ola program, whose goal is to provision Hawaii Island’s voyaging canoe, Makalii, with food grown on the island for a 30-day journey to Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.
  
Paishon, who is a captain and Pwo navigator with Ohana Waa Makalii, is also working with the land crew of Haunana Ola and works to bring canoe culture into classrooms.
  
“For us, sustaining ourselves on the canoe, it really comes down to everyone that's on the deck of the canoe understanding what they need to do and taking care of each other. If we can do those things on the deck of the canoe, then we should be able to do those same things when we're home here,” he said.
  
Like the canoe, the island has finite resources and so many of the interviewees expressed malama ahupuaa in terms of only taking what you need and sharing the abundance. Born and raised in Waimea, Lloyd Case grew up with that awareness.
  
“Donʻt take more than you need. Leave something for others. We only take what we need from the ocean and the mountain because we practice the Hawaiian style,” he said.
​  
Mahalo to Hawaii Community Foundation who funded costs to transcribe the interviews and to Ike Hawaii for providing publishing costs. To read more stories of malama ahupuaa, the book will be available at Thelma Parker Library and is currently available on amazon.com.

Bringing  Hōkūleʽa Home: The Community Gathers to Honor Waimea Voyagers      North Hawaii News   April 7, 2017

PicturePomai Bertelmann and Ka'iulani Murphy steer for home
On Wed. April 12 at 5 p.m., the community will gather at Kahilu Town Hall to honor the Waimea canoe crew members who will be sailing Hōkūleʽa home from Tahiti on the last leg of her Mālama
Honua Voyage.
    Although sharing Waimea roots, each crew member has their own journey to the canoe. Kala Thomas, who will sail on the escort canoe Hikianalia, grew up with the canoe in Waimea. 
​   
“Kala Thomas was in seventh grade when Uncle Tiger Espere, Steve Coffee, and Gary Benson built the Hoku’ili’ili at the school. He helped build that. So his genealogy is actually from that time,” said Pomai Bertelmann, who will captain
Hōkūleʽa.

Pua Lincoln
    Pua Lincoln, who will be part of the navigation team on Hōkūleʽa a, was at Waimea Elementary when Mauloa sailed into her life. “My first official introduction to any canoe was when Mauloa was built. I was at Waimea Elementary and they took her into the gym and set her up and when I saw her, I was just awestruck. And then later on I got trained to sail that canoe and that was the hook,” said Lincoln.
​    From an early age Lincoln was aware of her family’s voyaging legacy. “I had heard stories from my own k
ūpuna and my father about our ancestral migrational path and how we came from a family of voyagers,” said Lincoln. Lincoln is humbled and honored, “To be part of this epic journey to bring Hōkūleʽa home. When she comes home, it's full circle and all about returning her back to all of those people whose prayers have kept her going, moving and afloat, perpetuating her ability to persevere,” said Lincoln.

Ka'iulani Murphy 2000 voyage.
    After finishing high school at Kamehameha Schools on O'ahu, lead navigator Ka’iulani Murphy found her way to the canoe when she attended a lecture by Nainoa Thompson at the Hawaiian Studies Center at U.H. Manoa.
    “To hear Nainoa talk, I was in awe and my sophomore year I took voyaging courses.
Hōkūleʽa was in dry dock and so I spent Saturdays and volunteer work days there. When she was relaunched spring semester, our class got to sail her to Molokai as part of her sea trials. I was one of the few that didn't get seasick so they asked me to come back,” said Murphy.
    But Murphy also has strong roots with the ʽāina
in Waimea and in her family’s Waipi'o Valley loi where they grew kalo. “All three of us Pomai, Pua Lincoln and I all grew up in Kūhiō Village. My mom's father is from Waipiʽo and growing up our family spent just about every weekend there on the ʽāina. I realized later how fortunate we were to grow up like that,” said Murphy.
    In 2000 Murphy took her first blue water voyage from Tahiti to Hawai'i and she looks forward to repeating the experience. “I love that my first voyage was coming home to Hawai'i. It's really special to see the islands pulled up from the sea. It really gives you a sense of how our k
ūpuna first saw the islands when they came” said Murphy.
​    Although a repeat of her 2000 experience, this voyage will take Murphy to the next level in a long journey with the canoe. “Pomai and I were nervous about stepping into those roles but at the same time realizing it isn't about us, but about our teachers making the investment over the years, hoping that we would assume the roles as time went on. But oh my gosh, it's now already?” said Murphy.

PictureClay Bertelmann
    Pomai Bertelmann, who will captain the voyage, has grown up with the canoe. Her father Clay Bertelmann was instrumental in the creation of Mauloa, Makali’i and Na Kalai Wa'a, the Hawai'i Island canoe builders.
    For Bertelmann this final leg and the entire Malama Honua represents the next phase, “The leadership’s vision of succession. Over the last 40 years we've evolved into a thriving voyaging family and community. It is a great image to see all of these diverse people coming together and see this moku move forward because of all of that collaboration. A life force that comes into one entity and works synergistically.”
    Synergy was at work in the creation of a crew list, a complicated task that was shared with Murphy. “What we worked to do was create lists on our own, come back and match them up. I had to remember, go back through all kinds of documentations, crew lists and look at different skills. It's been a lot of relying upon what I've learned and solidifying decisions with pule,” said Bertelmann. ​

PictureScott Kanda, Oiwi T.V.
    A crucial quality for crew members is the willingness to participate in exchanges with the community, without which none of this would be possible. “This voyage is what the community has given to us. It’s an indication that the community has supported us and has been behind us all the way,” said Bertelmann.
    Technological improvements have made it possible to engage communities across the globe. Scot Kanda, who grew up in Honoka'a and works with Oiwi T.V. will be sailing on Hikianalia. Kanda brings communication skills to the canoe. “They stand their watch and then they go into the editing bay and they cut and they edit raw footage,” said Bertelmann.
​    When the voyage is completed, the 'Ohana Wa'a will begin to put lessons learned into place on our ʽāina. “In the wake of this voyage, to see the collective team that may be coming together to move forward with the larger purpose of ʽāina-based education in our schools and communities,” said Bertelmann.

The voyage home will be one of gratitude for Hōkūleʽa’s far-reaching influence. “Voyaging is one thing, but language, education, music, dancing all of those things were ignited by the matriarch Hōkūleʽa ,” said Lincoln.​
