ʻO ka Lā Makua ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma ka Lāpule ʻekolu o Iune. Hoʻolauleʻa ia i ka hāʻawi a nā makuakāne a me nā kiʻi makua kāne i ke ola o kā lākou mau keiki.

ʻO kona kumu paha e waiho ana i kahi lawelawe hoʻomanaʻo i mālama ʻia no kahi hui nui o nā kāne, he nui o lākou he mau makuakāne, i make i kahi ulia pōpilikia ma Monongah, West Virginia i ka makahiki 1907.

He lā hoʻomaha aupuni anei ka lā Makuakāne?

ʻAʻole he lā hoʻomaha pekelala ka Lā Makua. Ua wehe ʻia a pani ʻia paha nā hui, nā ʻoihana a me nā hale kūʻai, e like me nā Lāpule ʻē aʻe o ka makahiki. Holo nā ʻōnaehana kaʻa lehulehu i kā lākou papa hana maʻamau o ka Lāpule. ʻOi aku ka paʻahana o nā hale ʻaina ma mua o ka maʻamau, no ka mea, lawe kekahi poʻe i ko lākou mau makuakāne i waho no kahi meaʻai.

Ma ke kānāwai, he lā hoʻomaha mokuʻāina ka Lā Makua ma Arizona. Eia nō naʻe, no ka mea, hāʻule mau ia i ka Lāpule, mālama ka hapa nui o nā keʻena aupuni a me nā limahana o ka mokuʻāina i kā lākou papa hana Lāpule ma ia lā.

He aha ka hana a nā kānaka?

ʻO ka Lā Makua kahi hanana e hoʻomanaʻo ai a hoʻolauleʻa i ka hāʻawi a kou makuakāne ponoʻī i kou ola. Hoʻouna a hāʻawi paha ka poʻe he nui i nā kāleka a i ʻole nā ​​makana i ko lākou mau makuakāne. ʻO nā makana maʻamau o ka Lā Makua e komo pū ana me nā mea haʻuki a i ʻole nā ​​lole, nā mea uila, nā lako kuke waho a me nā mea hana no ka mālama ʻana i ka home.

He lā hoʻomaha hou ka Lā Makua, no laila he ʻano kuʻuna ko nā ʻohana like ʻole. Hiki i kēia mau mea ke hoʻomaka mai kahi kelepona maʻalahi a i ʻole ke kāleka aloha a hiki i nā pāʻina nui e hoʻohanohano ana i nā kiʻi 'makua kāne' āpau i loko o kahi ʻohana nui. Hiki i nā kiʻi makua kāne ke komo pū me nā makuakāne, nā makuakāne hānai, nā makuahōnōwai kāne, nā kūpuna kāne a me nā kūpuna kāne nui a me nā hoahānau kāne ʻē aʻe. I nā lā a me nā pule ma mua o ka Lā Makua, kōkua nā kula he nui a me nā kula Sābati i kā lākou mau haumāna e hoʻomākaukau i kahi kāleka hana lima a i ʻole makana liʻiliʻi no ko lākou mau makuakāne.

Ka hope a me nā hōʻailona

Aia kekahi mau hanana like ʻole, i hoʻoulu paha i ka manaʻo o ka Lā Makua. ʻO kekahi o kēia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kuʻuna Lā Makuahine i ka makahiki mua o ke kenekulia 20. ʻO kekahi he lawelawe hoʻomanaʻo i mālama ʻia i ka makahiki 1908 no kahi hui nui o nā kāne, he nui o lākou he mau makuakāne, i make i kahi ulia eli ma Monongah, West Virginia i Dekemaba 1907.

He wahine i kapa ʻia ʻo Sonora Smart Dodd he kanaka koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka Lā Makua. Ua hānai kona makuakāne i ʻeono mau keiki ma hope o ka make ʻana o ko lākou makuahine. He mea maʻamau ʻole kēia i kēlā manawa, no ka mea, ua waiho ka nui o nā kāne make i kā lākou mau keiki i ka mālama ʻana a haʻi a mare koke paha.

Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ʻo Sonora e ka hana a Anna Jarvis, nāna i paipai i nā ʻahaʻaina o ka Lā Makuahine. Ua manaʻo ʻo Sonora ua kūpono kona makuakāne i ka mahalo no kāna hana. ʻO ka manawa mua i mālama ʻia ai ka Lā Makuakāne i Iune i ka makahiki 1910. Ua ʻike kūhelu ʻia ka Lā Makuakāne ma ke ʻano he lā hoʻomaha i ka makahiki 1972 e Pelekikena Nixon.
