To Be Kupuna: Ma'ulili DicksonĀ  / Special to North Hawaii News / November 2015

It is said that the ulili (sandpiper) was a sacred messenger that provided the first Polynesian voyagers with a sign that guided them to land and like his namesake, Ma`ulili Dickson has quietly shown the way with his actions, spending a lifetime quietly working for the benefit of the community through the Waimea Hawaiian Civic Club (WHCC), Waimea YMCA and the voyaging canoes.
        Dickson grew up nestled in an extended family spanning three generations, where he was given a solid foundation in traditional Hawaiian culture and values. “I was raised by all of them and taught by all of them. My grandmother on my father's side kept me close to her and she taught me about the culture and history of our family. From when I was young, it gave me a strong sense of community and how I had to help and assist, not just ride along. How I had to be a part of making it better or keeping it going,” says Dickson.
While growing up on Oahu, Dickson spent most summers on Hawaii Island. “My grand uncle, E. Woods Low, (son of Eben Low), used to bring me here to Hawaii Island. He was born and raised in Kohala and Waimea,” says Dickson.
        While attending the College of San Mateo in the mid 60s, Dickson studied tele-communications, but soon found his passion in culinary arts, a skill which he would later use on his many canoe voyages.  After a tour of duty in Vietnam, he returned to Oahu, but Hawaii Island and the family compound at Paniau was calling him back.  
       In the early 80s Dickson had settled on Hawaii Island and was working as a manager for Parker Ranch, when one day Kalani Schutte (then on the county council) came by and told him, “Put in your notice. You’re going to come work for me.” This began Dickson’s legislative career as the executive assistant to Schutte who became council chairman. Soon he was engrossed in legislative processes from the county level to the federal.
        At the end of Schutte’s term, Dickson returned to Waimea to become the Executive Director of the newly formed YMCA, where he was able to develop sailing, diving and camping programs. “This was a good opportunity to engage the community in outdoor and ocean education,” Dickson says. “We were in the community doing stuff with the kids and it felt great,” he added.
Hawaiian Civic Clubs
       In 1917 Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianiole saw the need to preserve and perpetuate Hawaiian culture and began the Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu. Since then a total of 58 clubs have formed throughout the islands and on the mainland, with nine clubs on Hawaii Island.
       The primary efforts of the WHCC involve regular fundraisers to support their scholarship fund (preschool to adults), educational experiences in and out of the classroom, drafting of resolutions and bills in support of furthering community health and well-being and providing food at various events. The club also finds strength in making connections. “The Civic Club is a kokua organization that helps support all the different other entities that are accomplishing the same kind of goals that we are,” Dickson says.
       One of the larger projects the WHCC participated in was the development of a cultural education program at Pu’ukoholā Heiau, as part of the 200th anniversary celebration in 1991. “We wanted to maintain [control of] the cultural aspects so we created Na Aikane o Pu’ukoholā Heiau,” says Dickson.  
       The focal point for Dickson’s continuing community efforts is Makali’i, for which he serves as quarter master and assists with educational programs, including Mala`ai’s monthly super kitchen events. “On the Hawaiian Civic Club side of it, we're helping the community with healthy eating. On the canoe side of it we're looking at eventually having these youth and the Mala'ai garden package items that can go on the voyage, that are healthy for us to eat,” says Dickson.
       For Ma`ulili and many others like him, the way forward is through the continuing education and involvement of our youth to perpetuate the positive values of Hawaiian culture that will live on in the hearts of our children.

Ola Makali'i: Two Decades of Magic Special to North Hawaii News April 7, 2015

Ola! Makali`i, a 20-year celebration concert honoring the double-hulled voyaging canoe of the same name, born in Waimea, took place at Kahilu Theatre on March 28. The concert featured Kekuhi and Kaumakaiwa, two members of the Kanaka`ole clan, a spiritual guiding light of the Hawaiian renaissance.  “Every time Hilo calls, you come. We bless you and are there with you when you are on kanaloa (ocean),” said Kekuhi.
      
The Hawaiian-style family and community gathering which included two hours of music, chant and hula, was a celebration of roots, place, and family, or in other words, ‘Makali`i Magic’.  And indeed it was magical; heart piercing numbers such as Hi`ilawe, interspersed with the hilarity and sharp wit of Kaumakaiwa. But mostly it was a celebration of Makali`i’s journey, begun more than 20 years ago, and all the personal odysseys of those who made it possible.

    On February 4, 1995 Makali`i caused a stir of amazement when she emerged from her Quonset hut birth place, the corporeal form of a dream and many hours of toil by many hands.  “I watched the community come together to create something that hadn't been created here out of this aina in generations, a double hulled canoe,” said Pomai Bertelmann.
    Like a queen being prepared for her coronation, she received the final touches before her great journey. “Tiger Esperi and Uncle Keoki Manu buffed out the canoe the night before, all the way up to 2 a.m. Uncle Keoki painted her name on because they didn't want her to go out of the warehouse without her name,” said Bertelmann.

Like her construction, the journey to the sea called for a gathering of many. “We went through the procession of taking her to Kawaihae as a community. The day they took the back and side walls off the Quonset hut and put her on the low boy (trailer), there must have been 60 to 80 people to help,” said Bertelmann.
    One can almost imagine the dragon spirit within her hulls, resting confidently as she traveled to her home on the ocean. “This long line like ants went from Waimea down to Waikoloa and Ka'ahumanu Highway and then to the harbor. Everything we had done up to that particular moment, those 12 hours days, you could really just feel the release of it,” said Bertelmann.

Many Hands, Many Gifts
   
The dream of Makali`i began in Waimea with Clay and Shorty Bertelmann, and her birth came about through the work of ranching families, Waimea School students and community members. “You had all these local families involved: the Puhis, the Case family, the Solomans, the Pahaluas. You had families who were coming in either before they started work or after work. There was just this great outpouring of community to build this canoe. And you had the kupuna like Aunty Marie Soloman, Uncle Sonny Soloman, Robert Keakealani, Clarence Mederios and Mau Piailug. The aumakua (ancestors), they were telling us the community surrounds the canoe,” said Pwo (master) Navigator, Chadd Paishon.

When Makali`i arrived at Kawaihae, the two other renowned canoes, Hōkūle`a and Hawai`iloa, were in Hilo awaiting an open weather window to Tahiti. Makali`i still needed rigging and other fine tuning, which would follow in three weeks, again through the massive efforts of her 'ohana.
    That first night, “nobody planned for anybody to come to work on the canoe but then cars just started coming,” said Bertelmann. “A lot of them were UH students and community members who knew that she was going into the water. That was all attributed to Uncle Keoki Manu. He worked so hard to make sure the community throughout the whole of Hawai`i and the South Pacific knew that she was being birthed.”

Once under sail, land crew ohana flew to Tahiti. “That ‘95 voyage was called Na`Ohana Holo Moana (families of the canoe). Canoes from Tahiti, Cook Islands and Aotearoa (New Zealand) were all in Tahiti waiting for us along with Makali`i 'ohana,” said Paishon. “They (the Tahitians) were so accustomed to just seeing those of us who came off the canoe and they had never seen such an outpouring of aloha,” he added.

Creating an education program had been on Clay Bertelmann’s mind, so when the Makali`i returned from her maiden voyage he asked the question, “We built this canoe, so now what’re we going to do?” What followed was a process of interfacing with school entities.
    “It was the kupuna program and Nā Pua Noe`au (UH gifted and talented) that helped Nā Kālai Wa`a (Hawaii Island canoe organization) blossom as a program entity. We provided the experiential and they wrote the curriculum from that,” said Bertelmann.

The program expanded into a three week program for high school students. “Our first program had 150 kids from six schools,” said Bertelmann. “We had our one week training and we sailed Makali`i from Kawaihae all the way down to Kalai, Ka`u. Every day we would stop at a different place and every place that we stopped, the students’ families hosted all of our dinners, all of our meals and then the kupuna of the area would come down and talk story with the kids. And that was the beginning. We carried on all the way up until 2003 with four to eight programs a year.”

PictureNext Generation Crew
Something they didn’t expect was that the experience of the canoe training would form lasting bonds.  “They came together as strangers but they left as friends and family,” Bertelmann said. They began to network on their own, which is exactly what we wanted but they did it on their own. Of our first 124 students, 87 of them ended up at the Honokaa and Hilo high schools’ May Day to do the Makali`i aiha`a (hula).” 

PictureChadd Onohi Paishon
The education program has been modified since 2003 but is still vibrant. “Over the 20 years, Makali'i has allowed us to touch many, many schools and students and to this day we service at least 3,000 students a year,” Paishon said. “Many come from Hawai'i, but there are many who come from the mainland and even internationally to the canoe. It is not specific to Hawaiians, it was specific to understanding your responsibility within this community.” 
       What has emerged with Makali`i over the last 20 years has charted a course to a viable future. “Our canoe, our wa'a, is a bridge that continues to allow us to connect, if we choose to continue to walk across that bridge,” said Paishon. “We are able to do those things because we understand what it takes. We understand the part that we play. Each individual comes together to understand that we are responsible for one another. When we travel to these tiny islands, we share in this common understanding that it takes all of us. It takes this common thread of responsibility for one another, for our wa'a, for our moku (island) that will allow us to go far into the future.”  Kekuhi summed it up from the concert stage: “Live your truth. It’s a universal journey of all of us, whether we’re on the wa'a or just right here.”
