He holoholona hānai ʻia nā holoholona e ke kanaka. ʻAʻole pili kekahi i kekahi.
He holoholona hihiu nā kūpuna o kā mākou mau holoholona a ua hopu ʻia e ke kanaka. Ua loaʻa paha i kekahi poʻe ko lākou ala i ke kanaka ma ko lākou manaʻo iho, e like me nā kūpuna o nā ʻīlio. Hana ʻia kēia no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā holoholona. Loaʻa i nā kānaka ka ʻiʻo a me ka ʻili ma ia ala ma mua o ka hahai holoholona. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka waiū a hua paha ma mua o nā holoholona hihiu. Hiki i nā ʻīlio ke kōkua i ka hahai holoholona.
ʻAʻole pono nā ʻelepani hana. ʻAʻole lākou i hānai ʻia akā mau nō e like me lākou. Akā, mālama ʻia lākou i loko o ka hale a i ʻole ma ka pā no ka mea pono lākou. ʻAʻole manaʻo ʻia nā ʻiole a me nā ʻiole he mau holoholona, ʻoiai inā lākou e noho pinepine i nā hale. Akā ʻaʻole makemake lākou e ʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he malihini.
Ua nalowale nā holoholona he nui i ko lākou mau kūpuna hihiu. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke ola hoʻokahi i ka nahele no ka mea ua maʻa lākou i ka mālama ʻia a hānai ʻia e nā kānaka. ʻO kahi ʻokoʻa ma ʻaneʻi, ʻo ka pōpoki hale, hiki ke maʻalahi i ke ola me ka ʻole o nā kānaka.
ʻO ka ʻīlio kahiko loa ma ka honua. He mamo ia mai ka iliohae. Ua hana ʻia i waena o nā kānaka no 15,000 mau makahiki. Ua ʻōlelo kekahi poʻe ʻepekema ua hana kēia i 135,000 mau makahiki i hala. Ua hoʻomaka ka hānau ʻana o nā puaʻa, pipi, a me nā hipa ma kahi o 10,000 mau makahiki i hala ma ka Hikina Waena. Ua hoʻomaka wale me nā lio ma kahi o 5,000 a 6,000 mau makahiki aku nei.
No ke aha e mālama ai nā kānaka i nā holoholona?
Mālama ʻia ka hapa nui o nā holoholona e nā kānaka e hānai iā lākou iho. Ua hānai ʻia nā pipi e hāʻawi i ka waiū e like me nā bipi makua. Pono ke kāne i kēia waiū nona iho ma mua o ka waiho ʻana i nā keiki bipi. Hanai ʻia nā pipi a puaʻa ʻē aʻe i mea momona e like me ka hiki. A laila hoʻohana ʻoe i ko lākou ʻiʻo. Hiki ke hana ʻia ka ʻili mai ka ʻili. Mālama ka poʻe i ka moa e like me ka moa a i ʻole ka turkey i mea e hiki ai i nā hua me ka maʻalahi, akā i ka ʻiʻo.
Mālama nā kānaka i nā holoholona he nui e like me nā holoholona hana: ma ka mahiʻai a ma nā kahua kūkulu paha, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā holoholona e like me nā lio a me nā pipi e huki a lawe i nā ukana kaumaha. ʻO nā hoki a me nā hoki, akā ʻo nā kāmelo, nā dromedaries, a me nā llamas kekahi mau holoholona hana kaulana i kekahi mau ʻāina. I kēia lā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā kaʻa huki lio no ka mea makemake kekahi poʻe iā lākou e neʻe me ka ʻoluʻolu.
He hana koʻikoʻi ko ka popoki hale ma mua: ʻo ia ka mea e ʻai ai i ka ʻiole no ka mea e ʻai ana lākou i ka lako o nā kānaka. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā ʻīlio no ka hahai holoholona a i ʻole no ke kiaʻi hale a i ʻole nā mahiʻai. I kēia lā, mālama pinepine lākou i nā hipa no nā ʻīlio hae. Hoʻohana ka mākaʻi i nā ʻīlio e ʻimi ai i ka poʻe lawehala no ka mea maikaʻi loa nā ʻīlio i ka honi.
Hana ʻia nā holoholona e like me nā holoholona hulu. Noho pinepine lākou i nā kūlana maikaʻi ʻole: ʻokiʻoki nā hīnaʻi a luhi nā holoholona. Hoʻouka pinepine lākou i kekahi i kekahi no kēia mau kumu. Pono ke kanaka i ka ʻili me ka hulu o kēia mau holoholona. Hana ʻo ia i nā pālule, nā ʻaʻahu, nā pāpale, nā kola a i ʻole nā ʻaoʻao o ka puʻu, a i ʻole nā bobbles mai ia mea.
100 makahiki aku nei, ua hoʻomaka pū nā holoholona e hoʻohana ʻia i nā hale hoʻokolohua hoʻokolohua, no ka laʻana, e hoʻāʻo a hoʻomaikaʻi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau hou. Ke hakakā mau nei nā hui o nā kānaka. ʻOiai naʻe, ua laha mau ka hoʻāʻo holoholona.
