Waili'ula, David K. K. Waili'ula, John E., and Dora K. K. K. Hulu'aulani. The two goals of the analysis are to see how and what connections they make to their homeland in their mele, and to delve into the Hawaiian poetry to better understand their Ni'ihau and overall Hawaiian perspective.157en-USLanguage artsLiteratureMusicHawaiians - Music - HistorySongs - HawaiianThesis
