Here is the truth and nothing but the truth concerning the "Crown Lands." It is very conniving and deceiving to openly tell the people who live and reside in the Hawaiian Archipelago that the "1993 Apology Resolution" clouded the title for the State of Hawaii to sell the "Crown Lands" away. Let us not forget the TRUTH that the only real and true titles to the land (Aina) of Hawaii Nei is really called PalaPala Sila Nui or interpreted in English, Royal Patent. Even under US Law, Patents are the "Supreme Title & Document to the Land (Aina). A favorite parable that I like to use when explaining and informing to all nationalities and people of Humanity about the "PalaPala Sila Nui" or "Royal Patents" is if I was an inventor that invented something, the first thing I would do to protect my invention from having others "imitate it" is to copyright it, which means that no one can add, subtract, sell, change or trade my copyright forever. The same things apply concerning these real and true title's throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago. These titles to the lands and even these "Crown Lands" of Hawaii Nei is passed on to the "Successors and Heirs" to who these "Patents" were given to forever.
So to sum it all up in a nutshell, if Governor Linda Lingle & Attorney General Mark Bennett wants to tell all of the of Hawaii Nei that the "1993 Apology Resolution Bill" clouded the State's title to the "Crown Lands" of Hawaii Nei, maybe they should tell the people the "TRUTH" that the cloud over the real and true titles of the lands of Hawaii was when an "Act of war" took place in 1893, an illegal invasion" happened in 1893, that 3 treaty's were broken in 1893, which were the treaty's of friendship, commerce and navigation between two independent and sovereign countries. The US has confessed and acknowledged it's crime in the very same "Apology Resolution" that the State Attorney General Mark Bennett is referencing too , that the US broke International Law as well as their own US Constitutional Domestic Law. In the Apology Resolution, the US Congress once again admits and confesses that the lands of Hawaii belong to the kanaka maoli's, because they know that these true titles to the land were given from the "Great Mahele." I am not the only one saying it, even the US Congress has stated that in the "Apology Resolution." It is a law that all of the kanaka maoli's can point to again and again, It is a law that the US is stuck with and there is nothing they can do about it, because it is Law.
One more thing, because of this Public Law 103-150, the US has provided the "Restitution" that is overly due to the kanaka maoli's, which means to bring back a people to a state to where they were before the offense occurred. Again, this is openly admitted and confessed in the "Apology Resolution." So before Governor Lingle & State Attorney General Mark Bennett want to deceive and connive the people of Hawaii Nei where the "clouding of titles" began, maybe they should read what really took place and what the US Congress is openly acknowledging in the "Apology Resolution" so all will know the TRUTH that these "Royal Patents" if anything will be clearing up all of the "Clouding" of titles that has been going on for the last 115 years in Hawaii Nei.
Feedback and input is highly respected and encouraged!!! It would be great if you could feature this as one of your articles for our people to be informed about what approach and steps we all must take to protect and preserve these Royal Lands once and for all.

Aloha Ka Kou,
I am concerned that many people have misinterpreted the "Apology Bill". First of all it was unilateral and the facts are as the Americans wanted it put out. So I am not sure it is really an accurate portrayal of History. Second as we all know it was not an Apology. What I think it was is now painfully obvious, a legal gambit to set up the final taking of Hawaiian Assets.
I wonder if we need to speak on the terms they have set forth. I feel as long as the Americans control the discussion the control the outcome.
The facts are in evidence and the owners of the lands our know to us. Who will enforce the law that is inconvenient to America?

Aloha Kai,
I think you know what the answer is to your question? It will the Kanaka Maoli collectively. No one else will do it but ourselves. That is the answer and the only solution to your question. Nobody else will do it for us. We must do it for ourselves If you are not Kanaka Maoli, if you don't have the blood, nobody else can feel the ramifications and the intensity of the pain but us. Mahalo Nui!

E kala mai. I don't know how to answer that. My feeling is and at the risk of really offending you is that the Blood quantum is a construct of the Europeans. You don't have any Ohana who is not Hawaiian blood? Yes, the Kanaka Ma'oli has to do it for themselves and I don't think it can be done without their collective effort. But this approach I think creates a barrier. Do you think the civil rights movement would have worked without the participation of non African Americans? I tend to agree with you to a point that the Hawaiian people feel a pain and suffer in way only they really know. so my question is-
Can you see a process CONTROLLED by the Kanaka Ma'oli and working with all allies willing to restore the Kingdom working?
Mahalo for your work in joining "our" efforts...I appreciate it. And I respect it. and I also appreciate that you know that koko kanaka maoli will decide but I appreciate your wanting to join and take an active roll in the efforts. I'm in "full agreement" with having friends and allies. Our Kingdom did it...we can too. I mean we had embassy's all over the world. and you are not representing America so ya, I believe you should have a voice and we can see if all is pono. and if not, we all will say and hopefully through discussion...we "all" will learn something in the end or the beginning...
It is hard for non koko to feel the `eha but we can all get past the `eha together and create a venue of discussion for the sake of Hawai`i nei...that is what I think maoliworld is about and allowing us to do. So good job everyone...I appreciate it.

Aloha Kakahiaka Kai,
To answer your question, absolutely that is what I meant. I did not say it in a way that will create SEGREGATION between the Kanaka Maoli and other ethnicities, far from it. What I meant by my statement is that if you don't know the history of our people and you don't have the Koko flowing through your veins, it is not realistic for anyone to comprehend and to feel the ramifications of what our people and our kupuna's have been feeling for over 115 years now. I am a adamant believer in involving all of HUMANITY in our challenge and our struggle to end the long flight of injustice that continues to plague our people. Mahalo Nui for you wanting clarity on where I stand on these crucial and injust matters. If we can physically meet I think that would be Outstanding!
As a kanaka I have to agree to these facts.and encourage all Kanaka Maoli to continue to educate ourselves in Law of nations ,as well as u.s. public law 103-150 as mentioned by Kaleo.The truth is what it is that amerika conspired with a group of haoles here in Hawaii to overthrow our constitutional monarchy and keep it for themselves regardless of what our Kupuna said in the Kue petitions.Now ,the same outlaws throw that same @#$%^& in our faces and I find it appauling simply outrage.And as Kanaka we must continue our path of unity in this fight against the de facto government county,state,feds.Imua all Hawaiian Loyalist...
