Hawai'i will always be our home. Yesterday at the capitol, the makani blew threw with strong forces other than the norm. The haumana danced to traditional hula ast they honored our ancestors and sent a strong message to "Capitol Hill" that the lands were seized, not ceded. As I self-reflected, it was an emotional period when a song was sung about our kupuna. Tears rolled down my face as I felt the mana and the presence of our kupuna! Nothing could describe what an emotional and psychological moment that took me back in time.I WAS VERY PROUD KANAKA MAOLI BEING PRESENT WITH MY TWO YOUNGEST DAUGHTERS. Pono video taped as Pomaiokalani held his Hawaiian flag upward with dignitity evey hour on the hour as the pahu drums echoed a beat of KU'E.Mahalo to all those who attended here and abroad. Mahalo kakou to all who were not present for your MANA was present too!
I will be back Home in a few years for good. After I finish with everything I have to finish. Right now I can't be there like at the capitol but one day I will after I am fully prepared. I am so glad that those who can show up nowadays do. It is a great feeling that even though some people are so pilau to Hawaiians that they still no listen to the negativity. Anyway hope you having a nice week.
