    The evictions were Gail Prejeans mom from Hawaiian Homestead in Papakolea, the Sand Island evictions that caged women and men, and Moe Keale  was concern over everything and especially Waimanalo.  It was Aunty Pilahi Paki that was bringing us together. 

     

    In those days we had no cell phones, didn't know each others numbers, ofcourse no email ..never heard of computers.  Eventhough we have fast and more words to say to each other today, it was different back than the feelings for each other were pure.  We used our heads, and body language--it was a bit weird, but I don't think this type of human connection exist anymore.  I experience sparks everynow and then, but back then it was real and just flowing between all of us.  Whatever we thought on Oahu, Molokai, Big Island, Kauai, Maui, Lani listened and we inturn did the same.

    Cool details, I can still remember our first gathering we sat on the ground Moe Keale, Puhi Pau, Gail Prejean and we just sat with almost no talking.  The evictions was trying on our lives at that time!

    Aloha kakou.

                             Good luck and every best wish to Hawaiian Nationals and supporters on this coming Sunday.

    Although Kapiolani Park is widely regarded as the oldest public park in Hawai'i having been founded as a public place on June 11th of 1877, technically that award properly belongs to Thomas Square.

     

    After the restoration ceremonies of July 31st 1843 His Excellency King Kamehameha III bestowed that a parcel of land be given to the people of Hawai'i to mark and honor the Restoration occasion. 

    On January 22nd 1850, the Hawaiian Kingdom Privy Council named Thomas Square and voted to enlarge Thomas Square Park on March 8th 1850 as Metcalf's proposed area was too small.

    Around the year 1876 Archibald S. Cleghorn the father of H.R.H. Princess Ka'iulani (and brother-in-law to both Kalakaua and Lili'uokalani) in his capacity as Parks Supervisor had banyan trees brought to the Park. piped water, and arranged for 34 seats to be supplied 24 were made of wood locally, ten made of iron were imported from England..... In this regard Thomas Square is a very Big historical place in a very small historical space.

    Wishing everyone a pleasant day of festivities.

    -Onipa'a.
