The Waiʻanae Hawaiian Civic Club (WHCC) announced the virtual release of its Historic Waiʻanae e-book and audiobook to mark the 50th anniversary of the hard copy version of the original publication by author Edward McGrath. The release is part of an effort to breathe new life into the Waiʻanae community’s rich history through a digital lens. WHCC also aspires to revive ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi within Waiʻanae Moku over the next 50 years. Part of this effort is to distribute pocket-sized ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi dictionaries to fourth graders throughout the region. Purchasing the e-book or audio version of Historic Waiʻanae will help to fund this initiative.
