Thank you for finding our sites. We need to keep in touch. I just got a letter from my cousin Donna Burns and she mentioned what Brescia said about those buried at Nau'e...those people will never learn. But I wanted to share with you about a meeting coming up in Kona, Honaunau...a five day gathering to discuss, plan and budget our movement to stop the desecration at Nau'e and many other places. Maybe we can all meet there. Come with your ideas how to bring it up at the meeting and we take a vote. The Hewahewanui 'Ohana Councils will be there either in the physical or the spiritual depending on where our focus is going to be at that time. Lance has been arrested again and more court dates to settle there...he is looking at 10 years, but so far we've been able to keep him out based on Hawaiian law...on occupation, that he should be tried in a military court because of occupation. A new strategy but can be applied in Nau'e as well...it's all about eduction and holding the government officials to the law...in this case, Nau'e bones need to be claimed and cared for by the community on a regular basis...sooner or later Brescia will leave. He has to lose money and we are happy to oblige. No ke aha? Also, if something comes up you can e-mail me again. Take care. Kawehi.
Wish us clear weather a fair winds on Maui tomorrow morning!

'Ohu
so happy to see you @ the Ku i ka pono march .
I am blessed to know that there is hope for our nation in meeting people like you.
In time, things will fall into place, just remember not everything will be black and white on pepa. Just like my inquiry of how many na inoa does a person have. Four for me, Kamehameha is countless. Not all relatives will be as helpful often wonder why you are the one, however your tutu will guide you and stay pono in all you do. The greates love is to have for the tutu who sacrificed their life for ours today, for without them, where would we be today. Many names given and carried forth and I have been blessed to give the inoa to three of my children. As I became more aware of myself and familial roots, I was able to gaina better understanding, however the time frame I grew up was and before with my mother time to grandfather didn't allow kanaka maoli to speak their language. At times, I became frustrated to learn our langauge in school(college), when it should have been at home. At least, Hawaiians schools are created to reconnect and carry forth our language. In my research for doctorate, I focus on the challenges that affect academic achievement. I've grew up with Western values, but it doesn't mean I lost my own ethnic identity. New changes create more opportunities for brighter future for kanaka maoli.
I visited the Mormon Church on all islands. I visited grave sites to and looked up information in books on Hawaiian grave sites. The Mormon Church was a wonderful source of information, often visited on the one in Kalihi. Aunty Pauline Torress related tomy mother from Big Island side and uncle Arthur were very akamai in various genealogies for many families. Uncle Charlie Alo did his research there.
I visited familly and spoke to eldest and they gave me the papers too. Most times, I've been blessed because I've been pono not misusing or abusing information. I stamp with my inoa on document and share with everyone. Everyone who is there gets the same information. If any changes arise, make the edit and add on. You will find like me same person with many inoas.
I used my research skills from college at U.H., Gonzaga and Capella University to assist in research. Online internet is helpful or just attending other 'ohana reunion is beneficial. Most challenging part is starting from scratch. Hope this helps.
Yes, a process worth investing in. My 'ohana is Kamelamela (k) marry Keaapoi Haina hanau Samuel Namaka'eha Kamelamela who marry Jennie Kanei from Wainiha. My tutu lived in Anahola. My grandfather took his Hawaiian inoa as his last name. My family on Kauai is Haumea, Keuma, Kaleiwohi, Harada to my knowledge now. On the Big Island, HAINA, NAMAU'U, KAMELAMELA, KANAKAOLE, KAAWALOA, KELIIHOOMALU.
Mostly, I focus on Kaua'i 'ohana. Adding one piece to the genealogy at a time. It is a blessing to do this work, often times cross another 'ohana. Perhaps it will cross on Maui - Mitchell from Keanae, Roback, Akuna, from the same area and Hana too.
It may be on my ka'u kane side. Not sure but perhaps they may be related. I know my in-laws live in Aiea. I've been working on family genealogy for many years and take pride in what I do. I'm waiting to see who will carry on the work.
