                   HONORING EDITH K. KENAO KANAKA'OLE

  (Mr. KAHELE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KAHELE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize September as 
Hawaiian History Month in my home State of Hawaii. It is a time of 
celebration, recognition, and reflection.
  Throughout this month, we honor individuals who have made a 
significant impact on the lives of Native Hawaiians everywhere.
  Today, we recognize Edith Ke'kuhikuhiipu'uoneonaali'iokohala Kenao 
Kanaka'ole, a revered Native Hawaiian dancer, chanter, teacher, kuma 
hula and founder of Halau o Kekuhi.
  Edith was one of only five women in the country honored this year in 
the 2023 American Women Quarters Program.
  ``Grant us knowledge.'' ``E ho mai ka'ike,'' is inscribed on the 
commemorative coin for Edith Kanaka'ole. It is a reminder of her 
lasting legacy and a guiding principle for Hawaiians. That is, to look 
to those who came before us so that we may find success in the present 
and prosperity in our future.
