Hauʻoli lā ʻo Colorado!
Ma ʻAukake 1, 1876, ua kau inoa ʻo Pelekikena Ulysses S. Grant i kahi hoʻolaha e ʻae ana iā Colorado ma ke ʻano he mokuʻāina. A i kahi lā koʻikoʻi nui iki ma mua o 129 mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua neʻe wau i kēia kūlana nani. Ua neʻe mua au i ka wahi Denver mai ka wahi o St. Louis no ke kula puka puka. ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo e noho ma lōʻihi loa ma Colorado, akā i koʻu hala ʻana i loko o ʻelua mau makahiki o ke kula puka puka ua paʻakikī a paʻakikī hoʻi e noʻonoʻo iaʻu iho i ka home i Midwest. ʻIke wau i nā wāwae o koʻu aniani i nā manawa a pau aʻu e haʻalele ai i ka hale. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka mop o ka lauoho lauoho e mālama i ka frizz-free me ka ʻole o ka wai. Loaʻa iā mākou nā lā 300-plus o ka lā. I nā makahiki he 16 i hala aku nei, ua lilo ʻo Colorado i wahi kahi i hoʻomaka ai wau i kaʻu ʻoihana, a male wau, a hānai i koʻu ʻohana. Ua ʻike wau iā Denver a me Colorado e loli nui ana i loko o kēlā mau makahiki he 16, akā kū mau nei wau i ka piko o ke kuahiwi me ke kahaha a me ka weliweli e like me ka lā aʻu i hele ai ma aneʻi.
I mea e hoʻohanohano ai i ko mākou mokuʻāina aloha i ka lā ʻo Colorado, ʻeli wau i kekahi o nā leʻaleʻa Centennial State leʻaleʻa i hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa:
ʻO Colorado wale nō ka mokuʻāina i ka mōʻaukala e hoʻokahuli i ka Olumepika. I ka Mei 1970 ma hope o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana a nā poʻe kālaiʻāina no aneane 20 mau makahiki, ua hāʻawi ke Kōmike 'Olumepika'Āina i nā Olumepika' Olumepule i Denver i ka makahiki 1976. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia kahi ana balota i ke koho balota o Nowemapa 1972 e ʻae ai i ka palapala hoʻopaʻa he $ 5 miliona e kākoʻo kālā i nā kumukūʻai no ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā pāʻani. Ua hōʻole nui nā poʻe koho balota Denver i ka hoʻopuka hoʻopaʻa ʻana e ka palena he 60-40. I hoʻokahi pule ma hope o ke koho balota, ua haʻalele ʻo Denver i kona kūlana ma ke ʻano he kūlanakauhale hoʻokipa.
ʻEkolu mau kiaʻāina ʻo Colorado i hoʻokahi lā. ʻO ka koho balota 1904 ma waena o Democrat Alva Adams a me Republican James H. Peabody i hoʻopiha ʻia me ka palaho. Koho ʻia ʻo Alva Adams a noho hope i hope, akā ua hoʻokūkū ʻia ke koho balota. Ma hope o ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana ua ʻike ʻia ka hōʻoia o ke koho balota wahaheʻe ʻana o nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua. Ua lilo ʻo Adams i ke keʻena akā ua hoʻololi ʻia ʻo Peabody ma Malaki 16, 1905 ma ke ʻano i haʻalele ʻo ia i loko o 24 mau hola. Ma hope koke iho o kāna haʻalele ʻana, ua hoʻohiki ʻia ʻo Lutanela Kiaʻāina Repubalika ʻo Jesse F. McDonald i kiaʻāina. ʻO ka hopena he ʻekolu kiaʻāina ʻo Colorado i hoʻokahi lā.
E noʻonoʻo paha mākou iā Colorado he kahua pāʻani hoʻoilo, akā mai hopu ʻia i ka hoʻolei ʻana i ka pahu hau i kekahi ma Aspen, Colorado. Ke kīloi ʻana i kahi mea (me nā pā hau) a i ʻole ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi mea kaua ma nā hale lehulehu, nā waiwai pilikino, a i ʻole kekahi kanaka he hana ʻino ia i ke kānāwai anti-missile kūloko e hele pū me ka uku.
Aia ʻo Jolly Ranchers i kāu ipu hue? ʻO Bill a me Dorothy Harmsen o Denver, Colorado e mahalo aku no kēlā! Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo ka Hui ʻo Jolly Rancher ma 1949 a kūʻai mua aku i ke kokoleka a me ka ʻaikalima me ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā candies paʻakikī, akā ʻaʻole makemake nui ʻia ka ʻai kalima i ka wā hoʻoilo o Colorado.
ʻO Colorado ka home o ka pailaka hana kahiko loa ma mua. Hānau ʻia ma Malaki 14, 1902, hoʻokahi makahiki wale nō ma mua o ka lele ʻana o Wright Brothers, ʻo Cole Kugel o Longmont, ʻo Colorado i mālama i ka moʻolelo no ka pailaka mua ʻoi loa o ka honua. Ua make ʻo ia i Iune 2007, akā ua lele no ka manawa hope loa ma ka makahiki 105 ma mua o kēlā makahiki.
ʻIke paha ʻoe i kā Denver's Buckhorn Exchange no nā poʻo holoholona he nui i paʻa i nā paia. Akā ua ʻike anei ʻoe i kēia hale ʻaina i hāʻawi ʻia i ka laikini ʻona mua ma hope o ka pāpā ʻana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka moʻolelo i ka wā pāpā (ke hoʻololi ʻia ka hale ʻaina i hale kūʻai), e hakahaka ka mea nona nā berena pumpernickel e hūnā i nā ʻōmole o ka whiskey bootleg e kūʻai aku i nā mea kūʻai aku.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā kukui Kalikimaka ma ka makahiki 16th Alanui Mall ma Denver. I ka makahiki 1907, ua makemake kekahi mea uila o Denver i kapa ʻia ʻo DD Sturgeon e hōʻoluʻolu i kāna keiki kāne he 10 ona makahiki a maʻi a hoʻomohu iho i nā ipukukui i ka pena ʻulaʻula a ʻōmaʻomaʻo a kau iā lākou ma ka lāʻau ma waho o kēia puka aniani.
ʻO nā kiʻi i hāʻawi ʻia ma ka Grammy Awards e hana ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma Colorado e kahi kāne i kapa ʻia ʻo John Billings. I ka wā kamaliʻi ʻo Billings i Kaleponi, ua noho ʻo ia ma ka puka o Bob Graves, ka mea nāna i hana ke kiʻi o Grammy. Hoʻomaka ka haumana ʻo Billings ma lalo o Graves i ka makahiki 1976 a lilo ka ʻoihana i ka makahiki 1983 i ka wā i make ai ʻo Graves. Ua neʻe ʻo Billings i Colorado ma hope koke iho. I hoʻokahi manawa, ua hana ʻo Billings iā Grammys a pau iā ia iho. Akā i ka makahiki 1991, ua hana hou ʻo ia i ke kiʻi a hoʻohui lohi i ka nui o ka poʻe i kāna hui, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kēlā me kēia kanaka e hana lima lima pono i kēlā me kēia kiʻi.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻike ʻoe i ka hae mokuʻāina ʻo Colorado, ka inoa kapakapa mokuʻāina, ʻo ia paha ka pua mokuʻāina. Akā ua ʻike anei ʻoe he amphibian mokuʻāina ʻo Colorado, he manu mokuʻāina, he kakaka mokuʻāina, he iʻa mokuʻāina, he ʻelima mokuʻāina, he mea kolo o ka mokuʻāina, he mōʻalihaku mokuʻāina, he pōhaku makamae, he mineral state, kahi ʻāina mokuʻāina, he hulahula mokuʻāina. , he tartan mokuʻāina, A he haʻuki mokuʻāina (ʻaʻole, ʻaʻole ia ʻo Broncos pâpeku pū kekahi)?
Hauʻoli lā ʻo Colorado i ko mākou mau hoanoho a pau o Colorado. Mahalo no ka waiho ʻana iaʻu e noho i kēia mau makahiki he 16 i hala aku nei a hoʻolilo iā Colorado i koʻu home.
