The Kop family has been gathering the ‘ili’ili for nearly forty years, for hula dancers to use as traditional implements. “This was the first time over all those years that they told us we needed a permit,” Kop said, “and there were no signs posted.” “We maintain the fake state has no lawful jurisdiction in Hawai’i.”Demonstrators are also protesting actions by the DLNR agents who have been brandishing guns, harassing, threatening and terrorizing Hawaiian families (including young children) for practicing subsistence fishing at Ka’ena, Mokuleia and other O’ahu locations.The protesters maintain that the DLNR and the State of Hawaii has no documentation or records proving they or the U.S. have lawful jurisdiction over the Hawaiian Islands.For more information, contact Leon Siu at (808) 265-2085. The event is sponsored by Hawaiian Independence Action Alliance and Ka Lei Maile Alii Hawaiian Civic Club.
