"Columbus Day" from Tony Castanha.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
I know we have been here before, Columbus Day. I think this is an opportunity toeducate people to the Annual Lie we celebrate called in the name of thissupposedly hero, who found America ... pardon me while I chuckle to myself. Ithink it's such a obscene gesture. Would anybody celebrate Hitler? Tell thetruth, learn the truth, get a better understanding of the indigenous peoplesof this place called "Turtle Island "
So as all this will take is for you to pass this on to all the folks youknow.

Below is a piece of graphic art that may enlighten these folks a littleand
with some humor and history and culture of the People of TurtleIsland.

Thank You all for helping with this task.

Aloha Tony,

Pono and I had a wonderful time after the protest of 'Discovery'. Thanks a bunch for being there and putting the real truth out about the Papa Bulls. May we change the minds of our people to do research and quit clowning around with closet antics huh?

We went out to dinner and talked about many things mostly filming in Maui. I also got to say a few words about the event with Tane. It was great to see Dr. Kekuni Blaisdell and Lynette Cruz. Thanks for straightening out the security.

I really enjoyed listening to all the students and the people that came. Most of all I really liked burning copies of that Papa Bull in the trash can. Fire works with sinners and their masterful minds to abuse another human beings. I did a quick read on site and that was refreshing to read especially when I see it everyday here in Waianae.

Thank you for speaking for the first people of the aina, many came after and seem to think that because they conquered they rule the earth. As we are switching from colonizing (soverignty) to occupation thinking, I am sure Independence will rise in one's conciousness just as I experienced yesterday.

I so enjoyed the Tanio couple, we talke endlessly about our experiences and we just dove tailed each others words because we have so much similarities. I spoke about my father straightening out nails, the reason being --each time the Christians wanted my grandfather's land for animals and military reasons--they would have to move. Breaking down the houses and taking the wood and nails with them to another spot was the practice. The nails were removed and straightened to be used again.

And the Tanio family understood this. I too have grandchildren that are Catholics with the name Tanio and so I knew the meaning and shared with them about the gold. So last night was about the carrying of gold on their back, thus, the expression of piggy back.

It was great to see Makia last night and to share my heart about Bernard and how I miss him too. I do visit someone at Mohala in Pear City where the protest had happened 30 years ago to stop the tearing down of the home where the people with Hansen disease lived.

As you might know I had a sweep in July with houseless on Waianae's shores and David Ma helped me through that mess. Anyhow, last night he told me that state is giving Disneyland that spot which I assume will be expensive beach homes for their excutives. Kinda funny, huh how the 'Discovery' coprorate minded people steal and continue to commit genocide. The people of the first sin, brown sking people, ripping children from the breast of their mother and crashing their skulls.

How goolish, but it happened at guard rails, children were abused and continue to be abused out there somewhere in the dark.

Much aloha for your true tenacity about the first people and what we endured. It was nice to get away from the super egos.
