Kame'ekua 'Ohana News Letter

Aloha Mai Kakou!

We held our reunion on February 12, 13 & 14, 2010 at Ma’ili Beach Park. It seems that most ‘Ohana that I spoke with really enjoyed what was happening and that we should do it again.

Emelia Kailiohe Kame’ekua

On the first day of the reunion, everyone that wanted to camp had put up their tents. The rest of the ‘Ohana were golfing at Kunia and after golfing they were preparing their potluck for some of their ‘Ohana. They were at Kupuna Nohea Marie Daniel’s house. Nohea marie Daniel is from the Nakagawa line derived from Emelia Kailiohe Kame’ekua & Sentaro Nakagawa. Emelia was the daughter of Ane Luahine Kame’ekua who was the daughter of Kailiohe & Kame’ekua.

They were ‘Ohana that came from the other Islands and also from the mainland. ‘Ohana were going from tent to tent and found ‘Ohana they knew and some they didn’t know, so they introduced themselves to one another. That was really great to know that all of us were ‘Ohana. On the second day, which was the main event, everything was happening. We had our banner up so other ‘Ohana could find us. This is what our banner looked like for those who didn’t see it!

We had workshops for kids and adults. One of the workshops was Hale Mua held by Keoki Ki’ili whose father was George Maka Kamaka Ki’ili, Sr. whose father was Kamaka Ki’ili whose father was Joseph Ki’ili Leonui who was the son of Jesse Ieke Leonui aka Kahilahila & Kamaiwahine who was the sister of Kailiohe.
