    You are not indigenous because you are aboriginal subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

       right. To me, by referring to Hawaiians as indigenous, it’s the same as saying that we did not achieve our independence back in 1843. So it’s like you’re contributing to the denationalization of our La Hui.

       our monarchs used kanaka maoli and used it to mean aboriginal, a word they also used when interpreting kanaka maoli.

    STANDING for the LAHUI and MAUNA
    (Top photo taken in 2015, bottom photo in 2019)
    The Order opposes development of the Mauna including the TMT.
    The Order promotes the timely decommissioning and removal of all development (observatories) on the Mauna.

         I got it Tane. The point I'm trying to make is that the constitutional monarchy is a foreign or haole concept as well.

      • Sometimes it’s better to just use ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi words. Instead of English words. It’s not easy to find the English translation. So just stick to ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi.

           'A 'oia! Olelo Hawai'i wale no! Even if we don't know the word. Look um up and use it in your daily vocabulary. That's how you change your perception of the world around you besides increasing your vocabulary. We need to take back our mindset! Decolonization begins with understanding our Akua and kupuna. No?

           Does the label even matter? Itʻs the message that is important ❤

           it does. Indigenous means jurisdiction of a foreign country, surrendering to the plenary authority of another nation. An inferior status.

          Remember Keoni Paaloa Choy? He's the guy blowing the conch shell and passed a few years ago....he studied the Hawaiian laws ...he told me that he went to a meeting with a United Nations rep and asked what indigenous meant and was told that it meant a person who had nothing, owned nothing, and was nothing ...as in indigent..... so he continued to use the Hawaiian terms kanaka maoli. Keoni Paaloa Choy helped Routhe Bolomet too....Routhe Bolomet was also helped by UH at Manoa Professor Williamson Chang, United Nations Dr. Alfred deZayas, Mike Lee (dec.), Raymond Kamaka (dec.), et. als. Watch for the guy with the conch shell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgmOO5jiiq0
