er measures hereafter be adopted by HM Kalakaua now and forever. In addition one needs to read Westervelt writings about the story of Paao, Lonopele and Pili. What is least talked about is about a woman, Mau'u. There's a grass grown on the island of Savaii not found elsewhere except in the district of Kohala, Hawaii. In addition in the 'Ahupua'a of Keaukaha is a family called Namau'u who are seeking the origin of their name. One of the son's married a woman named Kepo'o who's name is part of Ma-loku-loku-o-ke-po'o-o-ka-lani who is connected to Kamehameha I. He marries a woman named Kanoena of Maui who later is called Hanau umi o Kanoena. All these genealogies interconnect. But what is all this history and genealogy got to do with all of us today. True leadership in the Kanaka Maoli Ka Pae 'Aina comes from Kupuna who chose not you. It's a word called "kokua" or "tautua" in Samoan. I am both Hawaiian and Samoan, that's who I am. I had no choice. Its those before me who ran in the bush and I am the result. My choice is to serve my people and others. My people first. Aloha and Talofa.
