Nini'aneNative Hawaiian groups hope to get 50,000 people to join a March through Waikiki on January 17th.The United States Supreme court takes up a ceded lands case early next year, and protestors hope to sway the new president's position.Just one month after their last capitol protest over ceded land sales, Native Hawaiians returned there Friday.That's the issue the U.S. Supreme court will decide when it hears the state's case in February. The state is appealing a Hawaii Supreme Court decision that blocks sales or transfers of ceded lands in a case that dates back 14 years.State Attorney General Mark Bennet says,"Gov. Waihee, Gov. Cayetano and Gov Lingle have all taken the same position, the state holds and owns these lands for the benefit of all of the people of Hawaii."Many native Hawaiian groups see it differently, and several of those groups converged today aiming to draw the attention of Barack Obama during his stay here.Wayne Panoke of the Lilioukalani Coalition says, "We believe it's important for him to know that going in to become the president of the United States."The state says Obama would be an unlikely ally with protestors on this legal issue -- since the united states government is among the entities that will be making oral arguments in support of the state's position before the Supreme Court.The native groups aren't stopping here though. They hope to get 50,000 people to join a March through Waikiki on January 17th.According to the Governor's office the issue of ceded lands is not among the top priorities for discussion if Obama representatives meet with her during his visit. They say the focus will remain on the economy.

Off course Lingle would not want to discuss the Ceded Lands case going to the Supreme Court with Obama. The economy of the State of Hawaii rest on the future of the administration of the Ceded Lands by the Lingle and the State of Hawaii. Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom. KU I KA PONO March and Rally Jan. 17. 2009.
Bring your Flags, Signs and Ohana as we begin the restoration of our Kingdom.
