Kamehameha I an American?

Here we go again. I know I've seen this before. I receive fliers from the John Ford Amphitheatre and noticed that they had photos of hula and what was advertised was "The compelling saga of America's only monarchy, from King Kamehameha to Queen Liliuokalani." *shakes head* I can understand the confusion of mistaking the Queen as an American but not the others. And worse if it's coming from Hawaiians.

  • ALOHA Kakou, What is happening to our people is basically what to Queen Liliuokalani and our ancestors to January 16, 1893. Since January 17, 1993 the 100 Anniversary of what happened on January 17, 1893, there have been lots of information and actions taken by my self and many Kanaka Maoli Hawaii. I and many Kanaka Maoli Hawaii along with members of the general public of Hawaii who support the rights of our Kanaka Maoli Hawaii people continue to walk the path that lead to the restoration of our nation, the Hawaiian Kingdom. It is up to each and every Hawaiian to make up their own decision on what the future for them will be, but for me on January 17, 1993 I went home to the Hawaiian Kingdom nation. I encourage every Hawaiian to think very seriously about going home to the Hawaiian Kingdom nation. I have place my Group HPACH on Maoliworld. If any of your wish to share mana'o on the issue of going home to the Hawiian Kingdom nation, please come to HPACH. Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom.
  • But I want the compound for people are like us... as in who NO stomp off after pouting eō ! LOL

    Oh man... sometimes I read some stuff... and I laugh!
  • we should have a compound to KEEP people in there like the great big hawaii, Hawaii's own (das da juice that I like too lol) and princess pupule ma. lol
  • Oh no wonder you asked me about him and I was like... who dat? LMAO Den later the guy from HCU you asked me.. who dat? LOL Anyway yeah that is what I want to do. Have a DeSilva Compound Version 2 and have INTELLIGENT discussions like how they used to have while getting FAR away from ANNOYING PEOPLE LOL
  • If i had money, I'd build a compound too, and have serious discussion. THe first issue, the mental illness that possibly exists in my family. lmao That's what one of my cousins (from FB) had asked. lol
  • The DeSilva side of my family (and I'm sure that Kihei remembers but Paul has told me that he remembers it) used to have a compound where they would have family dinners and intense discussions. It was for the DeSilva family and revolved around them. After Ernesto died (our grandfather) it discontinued. I am planning to have one of my own though... as a legacy but in this case to HIDE from annoying people LOL

    My purpose for building MY DeSIlva Compound Version 2 is to get AWAY from some people. As in some ANNOYING people LOL
  • Pono i have to tell you, i've been saving these gifs you've created and it comes across my screen saver, and people try to read them. :)

    Lana...what's the DS C v. 2 about?
  • I do not like the "hewa" and "pono" dichotomy so now MORE annoying is the "American" label used to apply to Kamehameha I.

    Meanwhile I am in the middle of planning my DeSilva Compound Version 2 LMAO
  • This is a form of Bastardrization of usa thinking trying to hemo us kanaka maoli from our rootz.
