Hawaiian language COVID-19 signs serve two-fold mission<\/h2>\n

The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> posted COVID-19 safety signs online and across the 10 糖心视频<\/abbr> campuses to help promote the health and wellbeing of students, faculty, staff and visitors during the pandemic. Some of the signs are also printed in Hawaiʻi\u2019s<\/span> native language. The 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa Kawaihuelani Center for Hawaiian Language<\/a> took on this initiative as a way to help protect the public and preserve the state\u2019s mother tongue.<\/p>\n

“It is my hope that both Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian speakers learn the phrases and use them in their daily life as we continue to brave this storm together,” said Kumu Keawe Lopes<\/strong>, director of Kawaihuelani Center for Hawaiian Language.<\/p>\n

One of those phrases is, Eia nā hōʻailona<\/span> o ka maʻi<\/span> ahulau COVID-19- “Here are the symptoms for the COVID-19 virus.” The ʻōlelo<\/span> Hawaiʻi<\/span> (Hawaiian language) signs highlight health guidance and daily hygiene recommendations such as proper handwashing and mask wearing practices based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.<\/p>\n

“In an effort to normalize Hawaiian language here in our homeland it is important that we seize every opportunity to promote her usage especially in professional academic locations,” Lopes explained. “These signs allow for the dissemination of our language specifically in regards to this particular context with COVID-19.”<\/p>\n

Lopes collaborated with Kuuipolani Kanahele Wong<\/strong>, a Hawaiian language professor and mānaleo (native speaker) in finalizing the task given to Kawaihuelani Center for Hawaiian Language Educational Specialist Kainehe Chun-Lum<\/strong> and graduate student Maluhia States<\/strong>. The completed signage was first sent to 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa, including various departments part of Hawaiʻinuiākea<\/span> School of Hawaiian Knowledge. Shortly after, emails started to fill Lopes\u2019 inbox from outside the 糖心视频<\/abbr> system requesting for signs too. They are now posted at Kamehameha Schools and Hawaiian immersion schools on Oʻahu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Signs are available to download on the Kawaihuelani Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n
