Aloha e Mia, very nice page. Kalena Silva and I work together here; he is
director of our College. One little thing...

We don't use "Hawai'ian" with the glottal in there. Hawaiian words cannot
end with consonants so "Hawaiian" is an English word. Since English
doesn't use a written glottal either the consensus is that it shouldn't be
used in there. We consider it a "hypercorrection" - one that is frequently
seen.

Other than that - maka'i kau hana - good job ;-)
