Da Bloodquantum is Okay!
The dying in their last days and moments live in their illusions of second space. Their grandmothers voice, spirits, and people communities are all part of dying. Basically,we live in the natural world on earth in a physical body with skin and fluids and sometimes, we don't take care of that temporary temple. We play god at the expense of the future generation in our last breath! It's a confusing process and sometimes we take a long time to heal and for some they don't heal and it just accumulate and get all jumbled up inside of us.
The Ii's and the Judds were wrecking souls. Historically, they always built in roads to the common maka'ainana and if one didn't favor their stance or style of development --be prepared for the act of warrior violence. The stupid heads that no read or write, only blah, blah-punch and kick and make stupid threats of streaking yellowish hue.
The bloodquantum was a deeply cut issue back in the early 70s, we had a bloom of new children on the res--and new schools had to be built to accommodate the new siblings. Native Hawaiian women discussed in multi meetings their situation. The bloodquantum and the roll became a loose end--native women were not the lessor because they were forbidden by the decades of 'fault' and US penal code dating back to the pre-Nuuanu Battle. White man contract agreements with Kamehameha I and eventually the 'Woman Suffrage' gang of thieves--their descendants.
Most recently and at the hand of Act 54, native Hawaiian women are perpetuated as at 'fault' and under thumb of 'penal code' Beverly Hills style laws--thanks to Judge Acoba's gavel in court. Check out the process with Marie Beltran vs the State, this all happened right under all your noses. The 'inside' joke is the box stores were in jeopardy and the homeless ukana was saved. Note, the compromise on this beautification--the security dwellers turned 'ukana' into contraband evidence. In a weird way things worked out for the homeless in Honolulu Blue Tarp City.
The outcome and the fact that native Hawaiian women was just the first wives, and their children were the rag tags of the tomorrows. These women minus those that weren't on the land yet, held multi meetings to discuss their children's future. They looked at the bloodquantum as a means to incorporate all Kane Hawaiians and their children in name only. Those days Na Kankana Kane's were dead beat fathers. In my opinion they still are dead beat jerks most times (personal bias). The realization was that they would loose much more if they didn't leave it as is because they could barely feed the children on homestead, how in the hell can they feed the whole of Hawaii's children. Besides, breast milk causes hanging nipples! What was the purpose of their meetings to think in ways that could give their own children a chance in life, instead of an early grave!
The second concern was this stupid list or roll to keep tract of father's peepee business. Think I'm joking--really this was a big issue. The 'genealogist' came into play at that time, nosy women with no-good-on-their-minds co-partnering with the white beautification missionaries for control and freedom from the natives. In other words, the manifest destiny stuff entraped the native Hawaiian women. Two actions were in the making, native Hawaiian women wanting to access their ceded land revenues to educate their children as a Hawaiian Homestead solution and the missionary beautification traps were their concerns.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is a white-women-league-of-voters entity. For those of you that are not savy to the process, I don't know what Sherri Broder and the he-man-na-kanaka women and their significant others are going to do next. What I do know--if the bloodquantum stays in tact, we the children and those of us that have children will be able to live in Hawaii.
Living in Hawaii is not a given anymore, it's a place for white and oriental children only. Crunch the numbers and that is the out come of a high ratio, high probability or fairy dust--and too that we (bloodquantum communities) will continue to live in Hawaii. As to the quality of living, that is the problem that we are dealing with at the moment. When I check families that are existing on Hawaiian Homestead a lot of them by choice are leaving the islands. So, going home should not ever be a death wish, it should be about raising ones native Hawaiian children on the land of their ancestors! Dumb Asses!
