Can do.
We're here at Kaiser High School in east Honolulu, on the island of O'ahu. Kaiser is the only
public high school in Hawai'i that offers three international
baccalaureate programs: the career-related, middle years
and diploma programs.
The IBDP is a college preparatory framework that teaches students skills for
success in higher level education and beyond.
Students pick six rigorous courses from a variety of subject
areas, including two languages that help to increase their cultural understanding.
Students learn in cohorts with other IB candidates, allowing
them to help each other in their academic pursuits.
Our first story is by students from the opposite end of the island from us.
Here, young journalists from Wai'anae Intermediate School tell the tale
of a young woman who would not be denied.
Write it down.
[CHUCKLE]
Leihali'a was a kicker for the Kamehameha Schools throughout the 2017 high school football
season.
Ever since I was a little girl growing up, I was always surrounded in the atmosphere
of football, and that's what planted the seed in me to love the game
this much, enough to make me actually want to strap on the
helmet, and actually play.
We wanted her to join the team, 'cause we always knew that it was her dream to play
football.
And for her to come out senior year, we were just
really encouraging for her to come out.
I had doubts on how she was gonna be in the beginning.
And as she progressed, she got a lot better.
In order to play football, she had to get her parents to agree.
I didn't say yes.
Leihali'a and her mom went behind my back, had her try out for the football team.
And when she made the team, then they decided
to tell me that she was playing football.
I told my husband, Who are we as parents to say if Leihali'a can or cannot play football?
And just said, you know, we'll just leave it up to the coaches
and let them decide if she's good enough for the team.
Throughout the 2017 football season, Leihali'a Panui was a kicker for the Kamehameha Schools
Warriors varsity football team.
Saturday practices.
Kickers, you don't really have to show up, but I come anyway.
Because, you know, my boys have to do it, so I gotta do it, too.
Now, with the season behind her, Leihali'a doesn't have to look too hard to find her
helpers.
[INDISTINCT] so you need to start looking at all [INDISTINCT].
Definitely, with the help of my teammates, having a football team in general wouldn't
have been possible if I didn't have a team like I did.
My coaches have definitely helped me get better in kicking or
mechanics or techniques.
And without Coach always [INDISTINCT] letting me be on the team, this
dream wouldn't have come true, as well.
The support from family and friends from start to end has
definitely uplifted me and allowed me to, you know, make this dream come true for me,
as well.
It's an amazing feeling, seeing my daughter on the field playing football, and hearing
spectators just cheering her on.
Now that she's lived her dream, Leihali'a is looking to assist others.
If you love something, and you're passionate about it, I would definitely think you should
go for it hundred ten percent with all your heart, because
you don't want to look back ten years later and say that
you regret it.
You know, life is too short to have any regrets.

Our next story takes us to the Manoa District of O'ahu, where students at Mid-Pacific introduce
us to a street artist and his quest for an audience.
[MUSIC]
I discovered early on as a young boy that I love to paint, I love to draw.
And so, that was sort of like my way to lose myself into my own little world.
Wayne Gabaylo is a self-taught street artist who performs in Waikīkī.
Art in motion, as he calls it, incorporates music, dancing and audience participation
to keep the crowd entertained.
[MUSIC]
A key feature of his style is that it looks like a chaotic mess of flying paint, ripped
up newspaper and bottle caps.
It looks like something any child could do, until the final product is revealed.
Wayne and his brother started out in entertainment as a
juggling act, but as a painter, he got his idea for a show while
observing a bartender flipping bottles while making drinks.
Then right there, the light bulb went up.
Oh, maybe I should do a show while I'm painting.
Wayne began performing on Kalākaua Avenue in Waikīkī, but it wasn't a smooth journey.
Ironically, it was his success at attracting a crowd that
led him to almost stop painting and start looking for another line
of work.
Eventually, the crowds would get bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
That affected me, because the police would shut down my show.
I had to have a bodyguard watch so the crowd wouldn't get too big.
And then, eventually, I did get a citation from
the police.
That caused me to stop painting in Waikīkī.
A chance meeting with a chef from Tanaka of Tokyo took him to King's Village.
The chef offered Wayne a job, because he thought Wayne's juggling
ability made him a good candidate to become a
teppanyaki chef.
But Wayne saw another opportunity to paint.
An idea came in my head, that this looks like a nice place to paint.
I wonder if I talk to the management, they'll let me do my show here.
Wayne was able to convince management to give him a shot at performing at King's Village.
So, they said, Well, we can try you out for one week.
And that's all I needed, a chance.
That one week turned into months, then years.
Today, Wayne has been at King's Village for the past
twelve years, and even has a gallery there.
Wayne Gabaylo believes that art can be anything that you
have a passion for.
Through his art, he hopes to inspire others to find their passions.
This is Daniel Kam from Mid-Pacific Institute, for HIKI NŌ.
We're back at Kaiser High School.
I'm standing at the Peace and Sustainability Garden on the slopes of
Koko Crater, where we support-well, sustainability.
This garden was started last year by Mr. Paul Balazs, one of our English teachers, and is
designed and managed by the Wipeout Crew, one of our
school clubs.
Some of the crops include sunflowers, spinach, eggplant, beets and basil, just to name a
few.
We take you now to the 'Ewa side of O'ahu, where students from James Campbell High School
tell the story of a young man who found himself and
a new family in his art.
He takes advanced placement classes, attends multiple after-school clubs, and then performs
for dance studios around the island.
Christian Jacob Nguyen may seem like he has a lot on his plate, but for this
junior, a busy schedule is the least of his problems.
The way it happened was, I was just sitting in my room, and then my mom and my dad came
and talked to me.
And at first, I was just crying, because I knew that this was gonna happen, and I didn't
want this to happen, because I feared about my sisters,
and I feared about myself as well.
Christian's parents separated a couple weeks before he was to attend his first day at James
Campbell High School.
I had to go through what most divorce kids had to go through, and that is watching your
family separate, and slowly separate as you grew up.
You know.
He was faced with a dilemma, stay with dad and live in Hawai'i, or go with mom and his
sisters to live in Kentucky.
You know, my sisters gave me so much happiness, and it was so hard watching them leave at
the airport.
You know, I really miss them so much, because like, I really want to watch them grow, you
know.
Whenever I wouldn't be with my friends or I wouldn't be with my dance studio, I would
be with them.
They were so young.
They didn't really understand what was going on.
And I really felt for them, because I didn't want them growing up to be,
you know, lost or confused about life.
Christian chose to stay with his father in Pearl City.
In the morning, that's a one-hour bus ride to
Campbell High School.
I still love him, because I know he still supports me, and he does talk to me whenever
he has a chance to, because he's always working, and I support
him for that.
You know, he gives me so much to be emotional about, because he gives me a place
to stay, he gives me a place to live.
I got comfortable with it, because a house is home, you know, and
any house is fine.
Life may have pushed Christian to the ground, but he got back up and started dancing.
Dancing gave me a lot of life, when I really didn't want to live my life anymore.
And throughout this time in my life, I was really introverted.
I really didn't want to talk to anyone, I didn't really want to
make friends anymore.
Dancing was just a way for me to get away from myself, get away from all this
drama.
And honestly, I'm glad that dancing kept me alive to this day, and I'm glad that dancing
kept me happy throughout this moment.
Dancing offered me so much.
It offered me a way to get out of my shell, and it offered me a way to make friends.
It offered me a way to connect to other people.
Although his mom and sisters are thousands of miles away, he still had family in places
he did not expect.
At the Playground Dance Studio, I made so many friends.
They'll help you when you're down, they'll know when you're sad, they'll know when you're
happy.
I'm actually currently working my up there to
become a choreographer at the Playground Dance Studio, and I'm so inspired to just teach
other people what I've learned through other people.
And that's what dance brought to me, 'cause dance is sharing.
You know, dance is a community.
Christian's love for dance symbolizes his perseverance through this life struggles.
This is Jacob Roy from James Campbell High School, for HIKI
NŌ.
We're back here at Kaiser High School.
For many years, girls just didn't have our own locker room.
Just this year, a new locker room was built to
show support for the women's athletic program.
Just this year, our new girls' locker room was built.
It has a new lighting system that adjusts the output, depending on
the outside light.
It also has solar panels to maximize the energy frequency.
This is the first girls' locker room ever built at Kaiser High School.
Our next story takes us to the island of Kaua'i, where students from Kapa'a High School tell
us about a certain type of cuisine that is always available
in their town.
Kapa'a town has two fire stations, three grocery stores, a Starbucks, and nine Mexican restaurants.
In such a small town, how could so many Mexican
restaurants compete with each other?
I don't think it's a competition, because everybody has their own style.
In Mexico, it's a big, big country, every state has a different way to make food.
The nine restaurants in Kapa'a serve food from a variety of regions in Mexico, from
the coast of Guerrero in Southern Mexico, to the slopes of Oaxaca,
to Mexico City.
Each has a different style and serves Mexican food in their own unique way.
A specialty served at Al Pastor is beef tongue.
We're the only food truck and restaurant establishment that actually does beef tongue.
We have a lot of people, all the Filipinos, all the Latinos,
come and eat.
We cook, like, two or three tongues a day, so ...
Another item unique to the food truck is cooking meat in the Al Pastor-style kitchen.
They do the Al Pastor on the rotisserie, and it's so yummy.
It's like bacon with a Mexican twist.
Other restaurants feature homemade tortillas, local ingredients and Hawaiian-inspired dishes.
Many of these recipes have been passed down from generation
to generation.
Each dish has a taste of their family's unique history.
For Tonio of Paco's Tacos, serving agua frescas brings back memories of his
youth in Mexico.
When we were, like little kids, my mom always make us, you know, like lunch, and she always
choose one flavor to make.
Like, sometimes she make horchata, the rice agua fresca, and sometimes tamarind,
sometimes jamaica, the hibiscus tea.
And that's what we make here in Paco's Tacos.
While the spike in restaurants could be because of the delicious food, it could also be due
to the rise in the Mexican population.
According to a study by the Migration Policy Institute, Hawai'i has seen a Mexican
population increase of a hundred sixty-five percent since 1990.
There is like a huge population of Latinos actually here.
We've kind of, yeah, embraced the Latino community here.
And they all come to eat, and they're all of our regulars.
Today, the aloha spirit is reflected in the values of the Mexican restaurants.
We're grateful to be in Kaua'i, and we're really grateful to be making food for all
Kaua'i.
It's amazing how every person makes their own flavor.
And especially, you know, when you make it in a good mood
and you make it with love, it tastes even better.
And it shows in how the customers are treated.
We don't call them customers, we call them guests.
Because we treat them as a guest, like a family member.
The addition of Mexican restaurants in the Kapa'a family has created a truly unique mixed
plate.
We serve from our familia to the 'ohana, and with mucho aloha, of course.
This is John Mark Alumpe from Kapa'a High School, for HIKI NŌ.
Next, students from 'Aiea High School on O'ahu will show you how to make a lei that every
graduate will appreciate.
Hi, I'm Justyss.
And I'm Cassidy.
And today, we're gonna teach you how to make a money lei.
As graduation season approaches, get your grad something you'll know they'll appreciate.
Money!
To start this off, you will need to gather your materials.
You will need at least twenty crisp, new one- dollar bills, any type of ribbon or yarn,
scissors, invisible Scotch tape, and two-and-a-half-inch by six-
inch construction paper matching the school colors.
For each of the bills you will be using, you will need to make three half-folds to divide
the bill into eighths.
Fold it in half once, twice and a third time to make eighths.
After finishing the last fold, you will need to open the bill back up and fold it, alternating
back and forth along the fold lines you just made.
When you reach the end, fold the bill in half [INDISTINCT] have a
crease in the middle.
For this next step, you will need to cut an eight-foot ribbon.
However, you may adjust the length to fit your graduate.
Start by folding the ribbon in half and tie off the close end.
This is where your lei will start.
Place a folded bill in between the two ribbon strands after the knot.
Make two knots to hold the bill in place.
The bill does not have to be tightly held.
Place a small piece of tape on one end and attach it to the other end.
Repeat on the other side to complete a fan circle.
Repeat the same steps with the colored paper.
You can alternate the colored paper and bills however you
want.
And there you have it, one nice-looking lei, and one happy grad.
I'm Justyss Ildefonso.

Now, from South Kona on Hawai'i Island, students from Kua o ka Lā Miloli'i Hīpu'u Virtual
Academy tell the story of a type of fishing that is
indigenous to their village.
[CHANTING]
In the middle of September, the people in the South Kona fishing village of Miloli'i
hold an opening ceremony of the 'ōpelu season.
For centuries, Miloli'i has been famous for 'ōpelu fishing, and some still
use traditional fishing methods handed down through generations.
These traditional methods are environmentally safe and help sustain the
fishery for future generations.
One man is not only still fishing in the same way as his ancestors hundreds
of years ago, he's also teaching the next generation to do the
same.
Kukulu Kuahuia still practices these traditional methods of fishing for 'ōpelu to sustain
his family.
I learned about 'ōpelu fishing through my dad, which he learned through his dad, and
so forth.
It is a tradition that was handed down through generations.
'Ōpelu is a big fish, actually, that lives on the ko'a;
it's a scad mackerel that we use to eat dry, raw, we use for bait.
'Ōpelu is really good eating.
So, the 'ōpelu was real important for the island,
'cause that was what was abundant down here.
So, all the families would hānai their own ko'a's, take
care their own ko'a's, catch their own fish when time for
harvest, dry mostly everything, ship it to O'ahu to be sold.
And that's how they got their goods.
The bait for 'ōpelu, or palu, is a green chum typically made from avocado, pumpkin,
taro and papaya.
This bait is then put into a kā'ai bag, typically a handkerchief, and lowered to lure and feed
the 'ōpelu.
Six months into the year is the feeding season, where the fishermen hānai, or take care of,
and feed the 'ōpelu ko'a or housings.
The last six months of the season is for harvesting the 'ōpelu, while still feeding
them.
We asked Kukulu why he thought 'ōpelu fishing was important.
It helps me by supporting my family.
What I'm doing, taking care and then harvesting, gives me more
'ōpelu to catch, to sell for my family.
So, that's why we do the hānai and the harvest.
Taking care of the fish as much as they take care of you, that's the lesson Kukulu and
others are hoping the younger generation will carry on for years
to come.
This is Hoku Subiono from the Kua o ka Lā Miloli'i Hīpu'u, for HIKI NŌ.
We're back at Kaiser High School, at our trophy case.
These trophies represent Kaiser's history in
academic and athletic excellence.
Whether they be from our football team or our math team, these
trophies represent the morals of our school, and the hard work and dedication of our students.
Some of our alumni have made it to the top of their
fields, earning them a spot in our Hall of Fame.
Our final story takes us to the west side of O'ahu, where students from Ka Waihona o
ka Na'auao Public Charter School trace the sweet roots of the
Hawaiian steel guitar.
[STEEL GUITAR]
Its distinctive twang and slides are staples of Hawaiian music today.
The steel guitar has influenced musicians globally but got its start more
than a hundred years ago with a Native Hawaiian man from the
little town of Lā'ie on O'ahu.
His name was Joseph Kekuku.
I've heard several stories of how it got started.
The one I heard was, he was walking home on the train
track, playing his guitar, and his comb or something fell and hit the guitar, and he
liked the sound that it made.
This twang kind of sound, oh, that gave him an incentive to improve on the sounds.
So, he started practicing with this thing on the strings to get the sound that he wanted
to, and eventually ended up with the steel bar.
The bar creates that sliding effect that you hear that is kind of like the signature sound
of Hawai'i.
[STEEL GUITAR]
The signature sound started to spread.
When he was thirty, Kekuku decided to leave Hawai'i.
He took his invention and his passion for Hawaiian
music with him.
[STEEL GUITAR]
Hawaiians were explorers, and they were great navigators, and they loved to travel.
And he wanted to travel.
So, he left and went to the Mainland.
He started to share their music, and share their love of Hawai'i with, basically, the
haoles.
They loved it.
They loved the music, they loved the romance of the sounds.
It went international around the world, and so, it became very popular.
They loved the steel guitar.
Not only did the steel guitar have a unique and likeable sound, it had a very adaptable
sound, one that soon showed up in other genres.
All music, I mean, yeah, blues, rock and roll, Country Western.
Country Western was big-time steel guitar.
Hawaiian, of course, still.
Yeah, it's all over the world now.
[STEEL GUITAR]
And Joseph Kekuku's invention, the steel guitar, lives on.
The unique sound that he developed lives on, and thus, the legacy lives on.
So, steel guitar has influenced the world, just by that one man ... Uncle Joseph Kekuku.
This is Sarah Peterson from Ka Waihona o ka Na'auao Public Charter School, for HIKI NŌ.
Well, we came to the end of this episode of HIKI NŌ.
Remember, all of these stories were written, shot and edited by students just like us.
We hope you have enjoyed watching them, as much as we have enjoyed sharing them with
you.
Tune in next week for more proof that Hawai'i's young people HIKI NŌ...
Can do.
