... that some moʻolelo took multiple days to tell in full, and were sometimes told in the form of hula? Source: Hä, Mana, Leo page 88: "Tradition tells us that while some of our great epics took days to recount, audiences were enthusiastic recipients of our ancestral mo'olelo, especially when they took the form of hula"
- ALT1:... that after the 1896 ban of the Hawaiian language for instruction in the Territory of Hawaii's schools, generations of Hawaiians were unable to read moʻolelo that hadn't been translated to English? Source: Nā Hulu Kupuna pages 43-44: "the ancestors of today's Kānaka Maoli [...] wrote moʻolelo [...] this has been obscured [...] Much of this ignorance resulted from the banning, in 1896, three years after the illegal overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani, of Hawaiian language as a medium of instruction in Hawaii's private and public schools. Among the devastating effects were that several generations of Kānaka Maoli [...] could not understand, speak, read, or write in the language of their parents or grandparents. [...] many, if not most, students in Hawaiian language and Hawaiian studies are familiar with the work of only five or six authors, and that is because those authors' works have been translated into English."
- ALT2:... that the Territory of Hawaii's 1896 ban of the Hawaiian language for instruction in schools obscured the history of moʻolelo? Source: same as ALT1

Overall:

@Ezlev: I really love Hawaiian history before the United States annexed them after Americans overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. Another sad story of the suppression of Native culture in the Americas. The article is new enough, no grammatical or spelling errors, and I can't really see any major problems preventing this from becoming a DYK. The first hook is the best.
