Aloha kakou, he Hawaii au,
 
Mahalo piha for Kahumoku, Pono and Manu Mook for their assistance at Gabby's Festival on Saturday at Waimanalo.
 
Palani asked us to assist in his performance with his full band, Royal Guards and Kahumoku and I carrying the Lono Hawaiian Independence Banners. Bradda Manu Mook blew the pu to kahea the performance, then the Royal Guards under Commander Isoepa Madela marched at grade in front of the elevated stage with Kahumoku and I behind them. with the Hawaiian Independence banners dancing in the makani.  We stood throughout the three songs, then march off. With his full band, Palani and his Braddas were even more awesome than the performance at the unveiling of Queen Liliu'okalani's Mural at Ka'palama in June when Palani was alone. All three numbers had the crowd in awe but Kaulana Na Pua was Kaulana Na Pua like never before. My Nalo Ohana said they have never seen or heard  anything like it before and they grew up with the Pahinui's..  
 
But all this is not lost for Bradda Pono was videoing it all, and is working feverishly to get it on the net. It was a beautiful sunny day with a stiff makani and the blue green waters of Waimanalo Bay glistening in the background. I estimated over 400 vehicles parked on the football field. About two thousand people were there. pretty good considering last weekend was Waimanalo Carnival in the same area. Food booths and arts and craft were busy but the shave ice booth made a killing!
 
 
Every musician there talk about how Gabby influenced their beginning as a full time musician. Mahalo Gabby, Hawaii we will never forget you!

    Mahalo nui for sharing with me your own experience with your recorded music -

    I believe we Hawaiian-bloods and our Hawaiian National brothers and sisters will prevail in our quest for our restored National Sovereignty -   

    We must remember our Queen's directive to us all to "'Oni-pa'a" to the end of our lives and teach  the na pua, as well -

    As His Majesty King Kalakaua wrote in his national anthem for our country, we are "Hawai'i Pono'i", or, "Hawai'i's Own People" -

    No one can take from us, that, which is our inherent identity (Hawai'i's Own People), unless we permit them to -

    Hawaii Governor Enacts Bill To Further Self-Determination For Native Hawaiians

    Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed into state law on July 6, a bill that formally recognizes Native Hawaiians as “the only indigenous, aboriginal, maoli population” of the islands and begins a process to create a roll of qualified members to work toward the reorganization of a native government. The law is seen as an important step for Native Hawaiians in the movement for self-governance.


    According to the Star Advertiser, Senate Bill 1520 supports efforts in Congress to gain federal recognition of native Hawaiians similar to that offered to American Indians and native Alaskans, but would continue the effort at a state level regardless of whether that goal is achieved. Gov. Abercrombie said, “This bill is the first step in seeing to it that we have a Native Hawaiian government entity,” he said. “It’s not only the first step, it is a practical manifestation of all that has gone on before.”


    However, not all agree with the measure – sovereignty activists decried the measure as an attempt to deny Native Hawaiians’ claims to govern as a sovereign independent nation. “This is an affront to those of us whose nation was stolen,” activist Pilipo Souza said. The governor now has 180 days to appoint a five-member Native Hawaiian Roll Commission, which will be responsible for preparing and maintaining a roll of qualified Native Hawaiians. The roll is to be used as the basis for participation in the organization of a Native Hawaiian governing entity.

        Stealing the Legacy of an Hawaiian Princess


         

         Sightings from The Catbird Seat 

        ~ o ~

        PART I - The Stealing Begins....

        PRINCESS BERNICE PAUAHI was born on December 19, 1831, the last in the royal lineage of Kamehameha the Great, conqueror and first king of the Hawaiian Islands.

        As was the custom for Hawaiian royalty, it had been planned from childhood that Pauahi would marry her hanai brother, Lot Kamehameha. She doted upon her brother but declined to take him as a husband. Instead, the attractive young Pauahi met and fell in love with a commoner, a foreigner from Sandy Hill, New York -- Charles Reed Bishop.

        The love between Princess Pauahi and the foreigner faced great opposition from her family, other ali'i and members of the community. But the young princess was intelligent and independent, and in June 1850, at age 18, she married the young "haole" businessman.

        The Princess and her husband eventually won over many of their critics and their relationship came to be admired by Hawaiians and westerners alike, and she eventually reconciled with her family and the other ali'i.

        Pauahi grew and developed as a young matron and counselor to her people. At the age of 25, she inherited over 16,000 acres of land from her parents. Other inheritances followed as other members of the royal family passed away. The greatest of the inheritances came from Princess Ruth, her first cousin. Ruth had declared Pauahi sole heir to her entire estate. The amount of land was mind-boggling: about 353,000 acres.

        Ruth's gift to Pauahi made her the largest landowner and the richest woman in the Kingdom. At the same time, she presented Pauahi with the greatest challenge and responsibility of her life. Pauahi now owned a giant estate, and she would have to decide how it would be used.

        The Bishops had a multitude of blessings, except one. They never had children of their own. Possibly from this came Pauahi's inspiration to use her legacy to establish the Kamehameha Schools for all the children of Hawaii.

        On Thursday, October 16, 1884, the princess passed away. Charles was by her side.

        The newspapers reported that a heavy downpour of rains reached a crescendo just about the time Pauahi died. In ancient days, the Hawaiians said when rain fell at a the time of a person's death or funeral, "Kulu ka waimaka, uwe `opua." (The tears fall; the clouds weep.), for the gods mingle their tears of affection with those who weep in sympathy and aloha.

        Of all the eulogies that were held upon her death, perhaps that of Reverend J.A. Cruzan was the most moving and prophetic:

        "The great loss which Hawaii sustained last Thursday was not that the last of this great line of High Chiefs died, nor that the possessor of great wealth died, but that a true woman died...True in all times and among all races...

        That Bernice Pauahi Bishop was such a true woman her life bears witness....Refusing a crown, she so lived that she was crowned. Refusing to rule her people, she did what was better, she served them, and in no way so grandly as by her example....

        'The world can do without its masters better than it can without its servants.'...For fifty-three years her royal life here has borne unswerving witness in favor of virtue and purity...

        She hated that which was impure with an intense hatred. She had only loathing and contempt for that which was coarse and low. Place, power, wealth, nor influence could win her favor or regard if it was joined with degraded character. And her womanly example was all the more potent for good because it was so quiet...

        The things that are most noisy are not the most powerful. Nay, things that make no noise, and make no pretension, may be really the most powerful. This quiet, modest, true womanly life has been for years, and still is, and will be for years to come, a mighty power for good here in Hawaii.

        Only the God who loveth purity and righteousness can measure this one true woman's influence for good upon her people..."

          Abused by the Big Island Police and Arrested for Taking Cell Phone ...

          I went to Pahoa Village Club to cover the concert that was happening there last night and ended up with a lot more then I bargained for!  I got arrested for taking pictures and videos of cops arresting people!

          I will be filing a lawsuit against the Hawaii County Police department soon for a few things tomorrow…

          Mainly the police have now confiscated my camera and cell phone as well as roughing me up and locking me up in a police detention holding cell for taking video and pictures of them in action from the sidewalk in front of Pahoa Village Cafe.

          People are allowed to take pictures and videos of police officers w/out getting roughed up.  I’m battered, bruised and bloody from an officer slamming on the sidewalk… Thankfully I have eyewitnesses that will come forward to say what happened.

          My wife took pictures shortly after I was released from jail tonight…

          I just want my cell phone back and camera back…. I was rolling video when the officer took me down and they took my cell phone and camera from me for “Evidence”.

          LAWSUIT PENDING…. STAY TUNED!

          *UPDATE* I’ve added pictures of my body wounds here: http://damontucker.com/2011/08/06/a-police-officer-brutalized-me-an...

          10. Damon-

            Call immediately attorney Michael Green’s office at (808) 521-3336.

            With the pictures and a doctor’s documentation of injuries, this case is tailor made for Mike.

            Call the office and try to book an appointment.

            If you have trouble getting past his receptionists who answer the phones, tell them I sent you. I’ve heard it worked for others who wanted an appointment and had trouble getting past the “gate keepers” who answer the phones.

            Good luck.

            1. I encourage you to fight this for all our sakes. Big Island police don’t exactly have a good reputation for treating people nicely and I would think that they wouldn’t want to make things worse. Unless you are obstructing the police it is NOT illegal to photo or video them on public property.

              All charges were recently dropped in the Emily Good case, now she plans a lawsuit:

            3. That is really too bad the militarized police syndrome has reached moku o keawe. They pretty much got the green light to do whatever they wanted to people since the global banking syndicate with their nazi state intel staged 9/11 falseflag and cracked down on the last of the people’s liberty. In a way it is good they are showing their hand too early locally as they will be easily and soundly spanked in court by the public. There is no sovereign immunity for this brutality syndrome at levels below federal. I was hoping our braddas in da police force would remember the aloha spirit involves respect for citizens who want transparency about government and its agents incl. police who ideally will remain as peace officers not the new nazi gestapo of miliitarized police who can make their own rules and step on anyone’s toes.

              Of course there is a big difference between federal nazi cops and locals, and that is the fact that the county cannot print funny money like the Fed, they gotta borrow and when they cannot balance the budget it would seem like a bad time for the county cops to be running up adverse judgments bankrupting our little municipality. But ya know to protect your inalienable rights perhaps you just gotta drag those mofos into court and let the people decide who is right and wrong. Don’t make any deals and take this to the jury. The county will settle with you on the courthouse steps on advice of counsel since they are completely bogus here and risk a helluva alot if they take it to the brink. Lose money fo dem.
              The moral of the story is you local cops no can get away with what the federal gestapo does in the CIA, FBI, Pentagon etc and you cannot do what they do in Iraq to us in Hawaii. And the reason is you county do not have the money to do this because you cannot print it like the federal government. Please take note and restore the peace. In all the militarized training of local cops being fed down from the top in the phony GWOT stance, they should have explained that if you act like they do in Iraq here and you are county you do not have the backing of the Fed’s funny money. Once those lawsuits hit it will all be clear. I hope this nips the syndrome in the bud on our island.

            13. The way I look at this is if they erase the pictures and video they have no evidence of you taking pictures and if they leave everything in tact you have evidence of them assaulting you. Now you have to be careful that the camera and phone don’t show up as broken in the scuffle.
