  Same sex marriage here in Hawaii has been an on-going battle for those who are for and against it.  I personally am for same sex marriage, living here in Hawaii, where cultural background is so different from those living in the mainland, that i have learned to love everyone who is different, because really which two people are exactly the same??  I know many people who are gay and lesbian, most of them are related to me.  I believe that "marriage" is sacred, but who are we to judge…

  American Jungle on the History channel if you guys never see um is filmed on the big Island of hawaii, about hunters hunting in the rain forests of Hawaii Island.  I personally never ment to watch it but came across it by chance, I never like watch college football n started flipping through the channels when I came upon the history channel n had this guy talking to a camera crew speaking hawaiian pidgeon. At first I was like wat this kanaka doin on da history channel, he stay talking…

  Epistomology of Hawaii is the indiginous of our old mindset that makes us who we are and where we are from, in my opinion thats all about cultural beliefs and heritage of our ancesters who came before us. Manulani goes on too describe our words n beliefs in a translation of english, which basically doesnt do the Hawaiian meanings and feelings justice. Not to quote her word for word which will be an act of plagerism, but to put it simply as I can it was it has to do about the quality of…

 The Bill Sb1 was officially signed by govner Abocromby and made into law, yet the people opposing same sex marriage are counter suing that the Bill is unconstitutional, because of a misconception about wether the voters in the last election had really understood the ramifications of voting on a Bill to give the Legistlation the power to determine what is marriage.  the argument by Collette Machado chairman of OHA who is oppossed to the stated some interesting ramifications about this Bill,…

    Racism in Hawaii has been a problem that has been going on forever, but for me, i didn't start really noticing racism till i was in the 8th grade.  I have a "Haole" cousin, she wasn't "Haole" in the sense that she was from Europe or the continent.  She was actually born and raised on O'ahu, she is also 25% Hawaiian, it just so happens that she looks as though she is pure haole because shes white, with freckles and blue eyes.  I was visiting with them one summer and noticed while we…

My Name is A.J.

I'm Mixed Hawaiian/Filipino/German/Irish, adopted into a middle class Midwestern (US) white family, and raised to believe I was white, but just "tanned well" (even tho that Tan stuck around all year long).



I have struggled most of my life trying to understand my culture, German and Irish always being the most accessible of the 4, Hawaii just being another American "State", and we never even got into the Filipino. "We're America, a melting pot, everyone…

 Hawaiians living in the 1800s of colonization was a very literate peoples, they could read and write both english and Hawaiian, in fact they had the most hawaiian writen news papers operating in this area. So if we Hawaiians were so literate in understanding letters, reading and writing both english and Hawaiian, why is it that HC&S sugar plantation hold the lands at Honokowai above the Kapalua Airport at Mahinahina. They hold 600 acres of Kuleana lands that they alledgedly got from the…

  There is a proposal of setting up a Geothermal Facility on the Island of Maui, there are supposed to be hot spots on the east end of Haleakala on Ulupalakua Ranch and the Hawaiian Homestead of Kahikinui. Geothermal is a science of harnessing steam from active valcanic fisures under the ground, it is supposed to be safe and environmentally friendly. Double Flash Steam Technology is a closed loop system where the water carries steam from underground and is delivered to a turbine that…

  Why are our Kanaka maoli being sent to Missisipi, Arizona and Oklahoma?  We know that there is overcrowding in our prison system, I for one have experianced it myself in 2004 to 2005, but that is no excuse to send our boys off island where family members cannot visit.  The State of Hawaii is the only State in the U.S. that sends thier incarcerated out of state to be housed.  So called private institutions are cheaper then building a new prison to house our bradas, in my opinion thats a…

SB1 or Senate Bill 1 really is a controversy about what people are comfortable with in their cultural belief system and religious beliefs system. It took some time for me to digest just what are the issues at hand with SB1. I understand that there is apparently a large portion of the majority opposing the passing of this bill. Most of it stems from each individual religious beliefs. Now, that is absolutely fine to have the freedom to demonstrate your religious…

What is one of the real issues here is that we are allowing our government officials to dictate what we should be voting on.
