  Ahhhhhh, for you Kanaka Kristo with your mistaken translation of Aloha that it means love, hello, goodbye, etc. Wrong meanings, you shall find the truth in the root words of aloha. One of the secrets of the Manakapu of we Ali'i in how the Children of Kane protect and help in using our sacred mana.-Kaiwipunakea.

  It's obvious that both Debra Kekaualua and Pi'ilani Kakalia have been brought up as Kanaka Kristo and not Kanaka Maoli Ali'i. I was brought up as Ali'i by my Grandmother, Mary Caldeira and my mother, Phoebe Makaio who is descended from Ali'i on both her maternal and paternal side of her family. We are to protect and help our people. But how can we protect the Kanaka Kristo and the Kanaka and now the New Hawaiian race, the Kanaka Amerika.
  
  The Kanaka Amerika loves all even the white man to be included in their new race and now destroying our ancient philosophy and religious beliefs and way of Life. In protecting the Iwi I am according to Debra Kekaualua, I am a tenant of my Homeland and inferring I should leave.
  
  This is type of respect was explained to me by Columbus, Georgia called me Nigger. Now Debra Kekaualua like the White Man and Japanese man at Mo'oheau park in attacking my mayor who is kanaka and my people and police officer Silva refused to file charges of a hate crime but Silva only smiled to me and did nothing. So now I cannot be a volunteer at the Aloha Information Station in Hilo because that White Man ran to the Mayor Billy Kenoi to complain about me not having the Aloha Spirit.
  
  So Debra Kekaualua and the rest of you Kanaka Kristo keiki who have been taught by your Christian kupuna that I who lives the philosophy of the Human Beings of the Sacred Chant must accept your Christian philosophy, a'ole. I shall live my life as Kanaka Maoli and not as a shadow of what was and become White Man, eh Boo boo, Debra Kekaualua.
  
  Mahalo nui loa for the discourse. Also please pass on my aloha to Noenoe and Ira, aloha pumehana.
  
  Ps: You all have given me several topics to talk about in my Ramblings of an Old Hawaiian on Na Leo TV's Hawai'i Island Speaks Out-Hilo.

  e boo howsit. i totally get it, but if u counter "i am a nig* in columbus" as related to unko tom is even a worser analogy than the excuse you used. "Respect"? if this is how you feel about your alii status, how do u really ask ppl to not give u a positive when these folks call u unko or auntie cuz it seems to be you yourself are disrespectful to ur ownself,. Perhaps youve been an american tenant for too long

  Aloha,

  Makaio is such a familiar name to me and heard it growing up but am not sure from who.  My grandmother may have been the one but not sure.  Her name is Lucy Heleloa (born Kaia).  Are you familiar with these family names at all?

  I liked your post on 12/11/15.  I am not sure why but I too feel offended when perfect strangers call me "Auntie."  Part of the problem is our own elders taught us to call  their  unrelated visitors,  friends and acquaintances "uncle" or "auntie."  We were taught to do it out of respect.  I think foreigners tend to think they should do this out of respect, not realizing how offensive it is.

  Mahalo nui a me Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!
