But Mary Kawena Pukui's most famous work is her book, Olelo Noeau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings. She collected nearly 3,000 poetic sayings throughout her life—which has provided insight and understanding to the deeper meaning and intention behind Hawaiian language. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
She began translating chants, songs, stories, books, newspapers, and interviews in Hawaiian & English. She wrote dozens of her own work and co-authored the Hawaiian Dictionary—which is still used as the standard source for definitions and spelling of Hawaiian language today. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Growing up in the early twentieth century, Mary Kawena Pukui recognized that Hawaiian language and knowledge was being lost and forgotten so she decided to do something about it. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
It wouldn't be right if we talked about #HawaiianLanguageMonth without highlighting Mary Kawena Pukui. As one of the most influential scholars who helped preserve the Hawaiian language, it's fair to say Hawaiian studies would be very different today without Mary Kawena Pukui. — PolitiTweet.org

Any day now, a Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas could issue a decision that would ban access to medication abortion nationwide. Including in states where abortion remains legal. Republicans will stop at nothing to have total control over our bodily autonomy. — PolitiTweet.org

More and more keiki are growing up with the opportunity to learn Hawaiian, but olelo Hawaii is still considered "severely endangered" and there's more work to do. This #HawaiianLanguageMonth, I encourage you to learn more about this important history. https://t.co/EcGrAIjXGz — PolitiTweet.org

Today, thousands of people speak Hawaiian thanks to @ahapunanaleo and those who refused to have their native language silenced. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
What was almost the extinction of the Hawaiian language—an important part of the Hawaiian culture—turned into the revival of this language. Now, the State of Hawaii recognizes Hawaiian as an official language in addition to English. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Not only did @ahapunanaleo help revitalize Hawaiian language, other Native Nations across America used the Hawaiian language immersion program as a model to re-spark the use of their own cultural languages. And in 1986, they helped end the 90-year ban on teaching in Hawaiian. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
In an effort to revitalize olelo Hawaii, a group of educators created the first @ahapunanaleo preschool, a school dedicated to teaching children through immersion in the Hawaiian language. It was a success. Now, there are over 11 @ahapunanaleo schools across Hawaii. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Once Hawaiian language was replaced with English in schools and government, the number of people who spoke olelo Hawaii (Hawaiian) plummeted following harsh punishment and resistance from authority figures. By 1984, less than 30 children under the age of 12 spoke Hawaiian. — PolitiTweet.org

🧵It’s Mahina Olelo Hawaii—let’s talk about Hawaiian language. Before Hawaiian language was banned from schools in 1896, Hawaii’s literacy rate was over 90%—one of the highest rates in the world. #HawaiianLanguageMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Stopped by Nico's for some poke! Poke by definition means “to slice” or “to cube”, referring to its preparation rather than the dish itself. There's plenty of styles of poke, but my favorite is spicy ahi poke. What's your favorite poke? #HawaiianLanguageMonth https://t.co/WkKusAJUAa — PolitiTweet.org

One year after Russia's unjust and unprovoked invasion, President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people continue to inspire the world with their unwavering courage and resilience. The US will continue to stand with our allies to support Ukraine and defend democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m grateful Lieutenant Governor Luke is building on this important work—having launched the Ready Keiki initiative—and I look forward to partnering with her at the federal level to build an early childhood system that better prepares our keiki to excel in school and in life. https://t.co/yOuc9Ji1Ed — PolitiTweet.org

From developing the Hawaii Pre-Plus Program when I was Lieutenant Governor to working in Congress to pass the Child Care for Working Families Act—expanding access to quality, affordable early education has long been a top priority of mine. https://t.co/rZWszNImeO — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Early education lays the groundwork for a lifetime of success—making our keiki more likely to succeed in school, earn higher wages, and live healthier lives. But too many families in Hawaii can't find, or afford, quality early education. This needs to change. https://t.co/xJaXyF5z1U — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Today, @lgsylvialuke and I hosted a discussion with early education experts and providers about the importance of expanding access to pre-K education across Hawaii and what more we can do to build an early childhood system that better supports Hawaii's keiki and families. https://t.co/6UtxIwnp5e — PolitiTweet.org

From designing Navy submarines to maintaining key components of our energy infrastructure, HSI-Electric Boat has played a critical role in Hawaii’s electric and maritime industries for over 75 years. I appreciated meeting with them today and learning more about the work they do. https://t.co/laWUhEwg5N — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the National Union of Healthcare Workers for reaching agreement on a contract to increase wages and preserve pension benefits. It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I’m glad you prevailed. I’ll keep standing up for workers in Hawaii and across the country. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
It was also great to meet Jade who went to Jarret Middle School and Kaimuki High School just like me! Jade has been with this program since June 2022 and is aspiring to become a nurse. Jade and young people like her are our future. https://t.co/8RHFYmkjEF — PolitiTweet.org

The WorkHawaii Youth Program, made possible by federal funds, helps young people gain valuable job skills to build better futures for themselves & families. I enjoyed meeting with young people from this program and will keep supporting programs like this that make a difference. https://t.co/PMKq9lWTNY — PolitiTweet.org

Had a great start to my day with a hot plate of fried rice from @rainbowdrivein! I spoke with Rick Nakashima, Kalihi’s Rainbow Drive-In owner, about PPP funding Rainbow Drive-In received to help weather the pandemic. I'll continue supporting local businesses & entrepreneurs. https://t.co/PsNHVWNTAV — PolitiTweet.org

It may be “Fat Tuesday” on the mainland, but here in Hawaii it's Malassada Day! Mahalo Damien Memorial School for the delicious malassadas. Where is your favorite go-to spot for malassadas? https://t.co/KADhbONmNC — PolitiTweet.org

Public school teachers deserve a raise. RT if you agree. — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS made it clear—we need to build the economy from the bottom up and middle out, not the top down. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to cut taxes for the wealthy and enact a 30% tax on everything you buy. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
The unconstitutional internment of people of Japanese descent during WWII is a dark stain on our nation's history that we must not forget. On this #DayOfRemembrance, let’s continue to fight against all forms of discrimination and racism and stand up for the civil rights of all. https://t.co/1WfkjxMAG1 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Public school teachers can make a huge difference in peoples' lives. My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Oshiro, was the first teacher who really cared about me and I always remembered that. Teachers do so much for our students and they're long overdue for a raise. Let's make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org
