Aloha,

My dad passed on July 2, 2011 at 1845 Maunawili Road. His name is Kanaka oo 'Niaupio--he is the nephew of Edward Niaupio..one can research Sites of Oahu, Handy and Bishop Museum to cite for research in the Koolaupoko area.  My grand Uncle was sought for information about culture practices as well as highly respected.  I follow my family principles of the long ago and bear witness to findings and evidence in the Koolaupoko area. 

Growing up in Koolaupoko, I was near grand uncles and aunt's enough to listen to their voices.  I also understood the responsibilities of their then era as well as the hardships of the 40s, 50s, and the 60s in Koolaupoko. 

My mother asked that I return to our community because of the political changes and how detriment things are and will be in the future.  I did and I am here to work for those changes in policies that are damaging to our people.  Especially, changes to DHHL and those that are 50% plus bloodquatum.  This is not the cite for this discussion.  It takes courage to vent on the forum of ones frustrations.   

 

Edward Niaupio took care of Ulupo as well as other areas and this information can be gotten at the Bishop Museum Library.  May this cite and 99 members return to it's origin of music and questions and sharing with each other.  Mahalo for your time.

How dare you Kaohi send me a email to participate in a fraud.  I rather die as a Kanaka Maoli for independence than side for a defacto that dictates for our Kanaka Maoli race.  This is sickening because you accept for our people to have genocide upon us just for a lousy blood quantum trip on so call DHHL.  You rather see a Ha Ole come into our lives and kick our asses to the curb while he make money off of our land money and assets.  What the f#ck is that, that man is hewa and get that through your fr!cken thick scull cause 100's of our Kanaka's had died for a reason (to be free as men and woman.  Ask your kupuna kaohi and see if they think and feel the same way as you do.  At least they have a heart and pity for all of the Kanaka Maoli people, YOU on the other hand worried about the Land that DHHL have gave.  What about your race?  What about the po'e Kanaka Maoli?  What about the KEIKI of the po'e Kanaka Maoli?  Hewa, AI KANAKA, my father taught me this is when you fight for the land or ocean with hewa, then the land or ocean going eat you up especially when you only think for your self and not the next Kanaka.  A'ale HEWA, I pray that E'O come and judge cause this is becoming to fricken much and I cannot see one wahine of the kanaka maoli race poison the minds just for her own gain.  SHAME ON YOU KAOHI.

Is anyone out there? Every time I check on this site, I see no activity. I teach music, primarily ukulele, but I've also taught mandolin, guitar, banjo (I only play the uke because of arthritis and carpal tunnel). I like most music except reggae. I enjoy the music of the Cazimero Bros, Peter Moon, George Benson - just to name a few. I'm here if anyone wants to pick my brain, or if you're out in Nanakuli and want to jam let me know.
