"But, they could not extinguish our fire!"

"While Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, or our month of celebrating Hawaiian language, is coming to a close, we will continue to stoke the flames of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, month by month, year after year, from generation to generation, because... 'I ka ‘ōlelo nō ke ola; I ka ‘ōlelo nō ka make.' In the language rests life; In the language rests death and our resolve is greater than ever to ensure that our languages will live on.

E Ola Mau Ka ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi a me nā ʻōlelo ʻōiwi a pau loa!"
