In English:

ALOHA FRIENDS! ‘AHA’I ‘OLELO OLA DREW A TREMENDOUS RESPONSE HERE AT HOME AND AS FAR AS NEW ZEALAND, HOME TO THE MOST EXTENSIVE POLYNESIAN BROADCASTING EFFORT IN POLYNESIA. MAORI TV BROADCASTS IN OUR COUSIN LANGUAGE, MAORI. MAORI TV WAS SO EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT ‘AHA’I ‘OLELO OLA, THEY SENT A CREW TO HAWAI’I TO COVER THE STORY. THEY HIGHLIGHTED OUR EFFORTS TO REVITALIZE ‘OLELO HAWAI’I AS WELL AS THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THE HAWAIIAN AND MAORI LANGUAGE MOVEMENTS. IN FACT, MAORI BROADCASTING LAUNCHED TE KARERE THE MESSENGER 25 YEARS AGO AS A JUST A WEEK-LONG BROADCAST OF NEWS IN THE MAORI LANGUAGE SIMILAR TO ‘AHA’I ‘OLELO OLA. MAHALO NUI TO OUR POLYNESIAN COUSINS FOR THEIR ONGOING SUPPORT. ALOHA UNTIL TOMORROW WHEN WE VISIT WITH THE HAWAIIAN CIVIC CLUBS, STARTED BY PRINCE JONAH KUHIO KALANIANA’OLE.
