  Aloha Uncle Wes,
  This is Keikilani from Halau Ku Mana. Mahalo for coming to teach the 'opio of Hana No'eau. I was hoping you would be apart of my paper that I have to write..I have one question for you that has to do with Hana No'eau. This question is apart of my Thesis Statement for my English class.What were the traditional needs and what are the modern equivalents of Hana No'eau?

  Mahalo.

  Aloha Wes,

  Roberta gave me your name.  I was interested in the McCandless Genealogy.  John K. McCandless and Paula Elderts are my Great Grand Parents.  Would you be able to help me with my Ohana Tree?  Thanks So Much.

  Aloha

  Angie

  Of course the Akaka Bill continues to promot 70-450 and support the U.S. racist Manifest Destiny doctrines that they claim validates their supremacy as WASP christians ordained by God to subjugate non-whites and that they have plenary powers 70-448 over them whether they are christians or not. All this is nonsense and the U.S. should pay the piper and de-occupy Hawai'i once and for all. The U.S. is unable to show the treaty of annexation because there's none; U.S. Congress had rejected the treaty because it couldn't muster the 70-432 required 2/3rds majority vote. Joint Resolution is a domestic instrument that doesn't extend its jurisdiction into foreign countries.

  Aloha e Uncle Wes
  My name is Sharon K. Medeiros (Lindsey) I am new to this blog. But as I was going through it, I came across one of your messages to Miss Kamelamela. You mentioned Paula Elderts, wanted to know if Paula Elderts and Paula McCandless is one and the same. My mom is Maria K Pe'a from Puna. All those names you mentioned to Miss Kamelamela are my ohana. My tutu wahine on my mom's side was Kuluwaimaka Keliihoomalu married to Kahale Charles Iaukea Pe'a. But I would really like to know about Paula Elderts. Much mahalo.
  Malama pono and a hui hou
