Edith Kanakaʻole was an indigenous Hawaiian composer, chanter, kumu hula, and a custodian of native culture, traditions, and the natural land. Her moʻolelo, or stories, served to rescue aspects of Hawaiian history, customs, and traditions that were disappearing due to the cultural bigotry of the time. Kanakaʻole, or “Aunty Edith”, as she is commonly known, was a renowned practitioner of and authority on modern Hawaiian culture and language. She learned hula from her mother, who was instructed by the acclaimed dancer Akoni Mika. Kanakaʻole believed that the oli, or Hawaiian chants, formed the basis of Hawaiian values and history. She started composing oli in 1946 and choreographed hula to go with many of her chants. In the 1950s, she toured the contiguous United States, western Canada, and much of Asia with a hula group named after her daughter Nalani. She also founded her own hālau (hula school), Halau O Kekuhi. Kanakaʻole assisted in the development of the first Hawaiian language program for public school students at the Keaukaha School in Hilo. In the 1970s, she created college courses and seminars on subjects including ethnobotany, Polynesian history, genealogy, and Hawaiian chant and mythology. In 1979, she received the Distinction of Cultural Leadership award, the state’s highest honor. It is given to an individual who has made significant outstanding lifetime contributions to Hawai’i in areas of culture, arts, and humanities. Edith Kanakaʻole died on October 3, 1979. Her teachings, beliefs, and practices are maintained by the Edith Kanakaʻole Foundation (EKF), a Hawaiian cultural-based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1990. The reverse (tails) features a depiction of Edith Kanakaʻole, with her hair and lei poʻo (head lei) morphing into the elements of a Hawaiian landscape, symbolizing Kanakaʻole’s life’s work of preserving the natural land and traditional Hawaiian culture. The inscription “E hō mai ka ʻike” translates as “granting the wisdom,” and is a reference to the intertwined role hula and chants play in this preservation.* American Women Quarter Program Information 2023 Honorees: Bessie Coleman – first African American and first Native American woman pilot Edith Kanaka’ole – indigenous Hawaiian composer, custodian of native culture and traditions Eleanor Roosevelt – first lady, author, and civil liberties advocate Jovita Adar – Mexican-American journalist, activist, teacher, and suffragist Maria Tallchief – America’s first prima ballerina 2022 Honorees: Maya Angelou – celebrated writer, performer, and social activist Dr. Sally Ride – physicist, astronaut, educator, and first American woman in space Wilma Mankiller – first woman elected principal chief of the Cherokee Nation Nina Otero-Warren – a leader in New Mexico’s suffrage movement and the first woman superintendent of Santa Fe public schools Anna May Wong – first Chinese American film star in Hollywood 2024 Honorees: Patsy Takemoto Mink – first woman of color to serve in Congress.

Shipping Policy About eBay Standard Envelope Service: Like many eBay sellers we ship small coin orders (three or less coins weighing under three ounces) in 2x2 flips using the "eBay Standard Envelope" shipping service. This service uses the United States Postal Service's (USPS) First-Class mailing system - which by default processes envelopes through high-speed sorters. This can, and does, damage coins. It also can have other shipping issues, such as delayed delivery. If you DO NOT wish your coins to go through high-speed sorters, you can add a small additional fee ($0.48) to your purchase and we will forward this payment to the USPS for your item as a service for our customers. Your order will not be run through high-speed postal sorters while still benefiting from eBay Envelope's tracking service! This method is highly recommended by us AND meets all of the USPS requirements for sending coins though their system. You will receive your coins on-time and in great shape! Equally important is that we strongly believe in paying our fair share for our Postal Worker's work. If you wish this service for your order, please make a note in the "Buyers Comments" section of your order OR choose "First Class" shipping at checkout..
