“Hoʻokahi o kuʻu noi i ka poʻe: e mālama i ko lākou moʻolelo, ma kahi e mau ai...nā moʻopuna aku ana, nā kualua, a makemake nā moʻopuna, e lohe i ko kākou leo.

I have only one favor to ask of people: to take care of their stories, let them be kept in a permanent place...so that their grandchildren and great-grandchildren can come and hear our voices.”
