In what may be the "second" Hawaiian cultural Renaissance, mo'olelo o Hawai'i is listed as the only indigenous language that showed growth in usage in the US.
I think it's really wonderful that kids in some Hawai'i schools are being given the opportunity to learn Hawaiian (makes more sense than teaching them French), and when I was on Maui last week, I noticed that all the signage at Kahului Airport is now bilingual (English/Hawaiian). It would be great if all public signs could be bilingual so everyone (Hawaiian speaking or not) at least learns some Hawaiian words. Imua!
