Lahaina Restoration Foundation’s Ha’ina Hou Features “Pidgin: The Voice of Hawaii”

Explore Lahaina’s unique history with Lahaina Restoration Foundation’s “Ha’ina Hou – Let the Story be Told”, held at the Baldwin Home Museum lawn on Friday June 14th from 7:30-8:30p.m.

Join us as we present the film “Pidgin: The Voice of Hawaii” by Marlene Booth and Kanalu Young. Born on sugar plantations, Pidgin was spoken by more than half of Hawaii’s population. Consisting of part English, part Hawaiian, along with pieces of Chinese, Japanese, and Tagalog, Pidgin captures the essence of multi-ethnic Hawai‘i.

“Pidgin: The Voice of Hawai‘i”, is a one hour documentary profiling the language of Hawaii’s working people in its rise from plantation jargon to a source of island identity and pride.  In the 1920s, English Standard Schools and government funded public schools, refused to admit Pidgin-speaking children, fueling an anti-Pidgin and anti-Asian sentiment and leaving a legacy of shame in speaking Pidgin.

This film charts the 1970s rebirth of Native Hawaiian culture and its inspiration on Pidgin speakers to take pride in their language. This movement led to many “Pidgin” projects including “Da Jesus Book” from the Bibles “New Testament” as well as many best-selling novels written with Pidgin dialogue, and a “Certificate in Pidgin and Creole Studies” program at the University of Hawaii. Pidgin continues to live on and leave its mark forever on Hawai‘i.

In addition, the popular candlelit tour of the Baldwin Home Museum will be held from 6-8:30p.m. The museum is located on the corner of Front and Dickenson streets. The $7 fee includes admission to the Wo Hing Museum at 858 Front Street. Children 12 and under accompanied by a paying adult are free.

Ha’ina Hou is a free monthly program held on the 2nd Friday of every month. For more information and a schedule of upcoming events, please contact Lahaina Restoration Foundation at 661-3262 or visit www.lahainarestoration.org.

LahainaTown Action Committee in partnership with Lahaina restaurants work together to sponsor several west side keiki nonprofits. This assistance allows the nonprofits to fundraise and the event supports our community. Campbell Park comes alive with local ono grinds, baked goods, and desserts from 5:30 to 9 p.m.  The LahainaTown Action Committee invites you to share in the fun while enjoying a live music concert with a cause.  Nonprofit groups rotate but include: Waiola Church, Boys & Girls Club of Maui, Lahaina Club, Na Ki`a i O Waine`e, Hawaiian Civic Club

Special Thanks to Sponsors: Waiola Church, Betty’s Beach Café, Leilani’s, Fleetwood’s on Front St., Captain Jack’s Island Grill, Cool Cat Café, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
