Ka Lamakua
Ka Lamakua represents "the creative element" at the University of Hawaiʻi as its premiere online arts ʻzine. This weekly publication strives to present an "alternative voice" in college news media thorough innovative reporting of matters that pertain to the UH community and beyond. As part of this engagement, Ka Lamakua specifically investigates contemporary Hawai`i fringe culture with a focus on creativity and the arts.Kalamakua was the name of a Waikīkī chief who was loved by his people for his ability to reason out skillful means by which to negotiate between people. He created large pond fields for the cultivation of agriculture as well as several auwai to feed them. Because of this, Waikīkī was named the main hub of the Hawaiian islands. Kalamakua's name was mentioned in the Kumulipo, which reminds one of the idea of great feats of creation. Kalamakua was also the name of Samuel Kamakau's publishing house for the initial printing of Ruling Chiefs, which, to those on the staff, denotes a great leap in literacy and cultural understanding from those who are most qualified to speak about the history and culture of Hawai‘i: Hawaiians.
