Today, we have a very special guest who we see around campus all the time, Josiah Ho'ohuli also known as "Uncle Black", and Nanakuli's Ambassador. He discovers history and tales that seems to be hidden in plain sites. He joined the Marine Corps for a change of scenery, and gets involved with the community, he's a fixture at Nānākuli High and loves everything about the west side. "You have to pay attention to the Kupuna" is what he says and shares to us young ones to recognize him and other elders. Uncle black has been living here ever since, and he knows many things and was gladly and happy to share it with us. There were many things that was here long ago and is not here today. Uncle Black said, " today is all about MONEY ", which we agree with. It's changing over time and it's not "nanakuli" anymore. Us students would love to try and change it back :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and life to us, and caring so much about our community . We appreciate the time you took off to spend it with us and we are grateful. See you on Campus Uncle Black :)
Ms.Kirkland had us work on our Ipus in our groups of three. It was first time experience for most of us and it was cool.
Nice Picture!!
