I have had the opportunity to have someone from over my Kohala Mountain here on Maoliworld bring up a "who's got koko" more by pointing out he comes from a pure blood hawaiian line. I guess he was trying to make a point that what I do for the North Kohala district means nothing to him or that I don't have any experience in protecting sacred sites. LOL.So what does being pure hawaiian prove but getting on a list of Hawaiian Homes? Does it prove anything else when you start conversation and say "well I got more koko than you and my words have more validity than you and you're a nobody?" Yet he doesn't provide "who he is" and feels he doesn't need to prove it. But he's from South Kohala, says his father from Molokai and mother from Kohala. So he doesn't believe who I am and what my family has done for Kohala so I have referrred him to Papa Akau in Kawaihae, former Ali'i 'Aimoku of Pu'u Kohola heiau in South Kohala. Papa is not feeling well right now but he is still on our board of directors seat for Maika'i Kamakani 'O Kohala. He knows my family and so I don't need to prove my koko.I gotta laugh at the belligerence and classism category, this person had made a comment of what is aloha yet he is disrespectful with a big pohaku on his shoulders. In my opinion, what matters is the heart and spirit behind the koko, not how much koko you have on paper...anyone else?

In a recent US Supreme Court case, the State of Hawaii made the fraudulent claim of "Perfect Title" to what it calls the "Ceded Lands.” But the truth is, these are stolen lands and the state has no title “perfect” or otherwise.The state’s big lie in open court (and the court’s acceptance of that lie), has opened the door for us — the rightful heirs — to sue to take back the national lands of the Hawaiian Kingdom.As the rightful heirs, today’s subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom are preparing to sue the State of Hawaii and the US for illegal possession of Hawaii’s lands and other assets, and for depriving Hawaiians of the use of these lands for the past 117 years!There are two types of lawful claimants: heirs (kanka maoli, by virtue of the undivided interest set forth in the Mahele) and beneficiaries regardless of koko (by virtue of being nationals/subjects/citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom). Heirs have rights in terms of ownership. Beneficiaries have rights in terms of benefiting from the national assets.Join us in taking back the trust lands! Let's do this everybody! We must get to the oppressor where it and they will hurt the most, to use their own laws against them. We can and we will overcome!!!Go to http://aloharevolution.com/petition right now to participate in ultimately changing and tweeking the course that we are on, so we all can ultimately get to our desired and specific destination, which is a "FREE HAWAII. Mahalo nui!!!Bruddah Kaleo
