  • I don't understand why you are attacking Free Hawai'i. You were never an adversary of it. Those questions were statements made by proponents of the Akaka Bill.

    I know you and Pomai have this tete a tete going on; so quit slipping in your digs about him and and what he called you or whatever; e-mail him directly and settle the score with him. That's between the two of you; so settle it privately as we don't need to hear it. Stick to the subject at hand and don't mix it up with other topics. Pomai
    has nothing to do with Free Hawai'i except with his subscription of it. Free Hawai'i is not a racist website; so quit speaking like a U.S. American... racism is a white man's problem as in Manifest Destiny doctrines.

    Attack our real adversaries.

  • ALOHA Kakou, Let everyone know that Kaohi supports the selling in Fee Simple of Hawaiian Homestead Trust Lands. That Kaohi has never stood Pono for the Constitutional Rights of the native Hawaiians of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. I was the the 1978 Con Con as a protectors of the Rights of the Kanaka Maoli People. Never once did I see Kaohi there in person. Kaohi's statements is a Big Lie that should be deleted, immediately. As Kaohi is Traitor to her own people of the Blood.

  • I understand that each and every statement above is false, however, working with DHHL residents could have moved the issue of Stop the Akaka Bill. further. Instead, we were Free Hawaii adversary. Why?

    I've known Independent Alliance to scramble information on the Akaka Bill, degrade/avoid those of on on DHHL, blatantly call me a whore (Lulu Bell)

    Did you know that we DHHL opposed Council of Hawaiian Organization?

    Did you know we submitted a Bill in the legislation in 1978,79 and the OHA people stole it?

    Did you know we opposed the use of our 200,000 acres for the 'general leasess'?

    Did you know that we fought with our lives during the 1978 con con?

    Did you know that we fought to maintain our successorship so that we could inherit our house?

    Did you know Hoala Kanawai fought the system and especially aginst the Akaka Bill? We had an office, was on Olelo, attended meetings and was asked to leave.

    Free Hawaii is a newbie to the Akaka Bill and will not see the real connection as to why the Akaka Bill should be stopped. Dance the facts and drink fruit punch and eat cookies.

    Free Hawaii is very racist towards those of us living on DHHL and lack the understanding of who we are and never understood the battles we fought against the Akaka Bill and it's supporters since 1974, I know cause I was there. I may not have understood the debth of the issues, but our Na Kupuna on DHHL did.

    Free Hawaii should blame oneself and not the DHHL residence for not inquireing fully about what we think about the Akaka Bill.

    Free Hawaii should not disregard the many years that we have basically since 1974 from the formation of OHA, and their federal recognition to reconcile their power and budget with the federal systems.

    Most important Free Hawaii need to know that DHHL residents wanted our first language and it's people to prevail federal UH Manoa standard Hawaiian Language. We wanted to maintain our first language so that we can connect to our burials, and NOT be forced to practice fantasy rituals.

    We were independent until 1984 when the OHA, DHHL, and the fed relationship joined hands along side all the theorist at the academic towers.

    We the DHHL rarely made it to Kamehameha Schools prior to testing etc... We the DHHL residence were/are not participants, owners of 501 (3) c's to receive any Hawaiian entitlements. Keep in mind we own our house that we pay for not the land it sits on. The General Public such as FREE HAWAII owns the land that we live on.

    We live together within general rules and boundaries--because we were considere the 'dirty people' therefore we needed to be disassociated, kept quite, and avoided at all cost.

    All of our so called monies from the 200,000 acres goes o the general fund for the general public.
