5.0 out of 5 stars 'Olelo No'eau, July 9, 2000
By A Customer
For anyone interested in learning about the poetry and eloquence that is the Hawaiian language, you have to buy this book. The book "Olelo No'eau (which means wise sayings) illustrates the ways in which Hawaiians used examples of what they observed in their everyday surroundings to express themselves. Each of the wise sayings covers a wide variety of topics including family, relationships, battle, life, and honor. Mary Kawena Puku'i has long been an avid perpetuator of the Hawaiian culture and I am very pleased to have this publication to share with others.

The litheness of a hula dancer in a tome of a book
, January 24, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Olelo No'Eau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings (Hardcover)
There exists no better introduction to the beauty and poetry of the Hawaiian language. Mary Kawena Pukui is the soul of old Hawai'i and posessed the intellect and ear to capture it. Certainly an informative read, this book also gives you the chance to turn your cliche ridden speech to exotic rhythms and poetry. A hui ho
