For my family and friends who like KNOW:My maternal great great grandmother Rachel Lokinikahama Among signed the Ku'e Anti-Annexation Petition by proxy when she was 20 years old. She is #24 under "Mrs. Lokini Among": http://libweb.hawaii.edu/digicoll/annexation/petition/pet007.html so this should not be a surprise LOL"I vehemently OPPOSE the Akaka Bill aka the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act which is REALLY the Native Hawaiian LAND Reorganization Act. Hawaiians and their legal heirs have not and do not agree to transfer our title to anyone and/or to any government entity set up as a trust in order to transfer our title without our consent. This is a public notice. Signed, ME"Don't forget to sign it too. Get it written. Anywhere and EVERYWHERE. Location is irrelevant.http://www.stopakakapetition.comMore importantly... ignore the haters. It is VERY easy to do :PI placed my name here too:http://www.oha.org/pdf/kwo06/0602/18.pdfThat one was so dramatic though because the person who forwarded the email to me was mad at me for some reason yet did not ignore my request to be added and added my name, my husband's name, and my twin sister's name anyway even though he hates ME *LOL* I could not care less if he hates me. No mattah to me! As long as he respects the iwi and/or our kupuna... I no kea if he hates ME LOL And yes he was very vicious to me. Amazing how some people who claim to be pro-oiwi can be so VICIOUS to another oiwi LOL Alot can be said about putting our kupuna ahead of our own hatred for another person. He put the iwi and iwi kupuna ahead of his hatred for me so I know that it is possible to set aside one's differences for our kupuna LOL And that is all that matters to me because without our kupuna we are NOTHING and without our keiki and mo'opuna we will be NOTHING. (Me stating the obvious again LOL)Latahs!
we are very Blessed individuals, for one i myself have my great grand papa's signature in the Ku'e petition, and on the same year 1897, my grand papa Antone Kaina was born and raised in Wailuanui Valley on the Kingdom of Maui Nui.
as being the 9th child or 11 siblings, i also have twin sisters below me and my mama is a twin and she has twin aunties.
on my mama's death bed she warned me of haters, the hatred would be of Jealousy and Envies. the most interesting part is that she said it will sometimes come from within my own ohana's.
but the encouragement is that if i can handle from within, then any one that hates me from outside my ohana will be handle much, much easier. and believe me she was right (pono)...
in my immediate ohana research i found that i am related to Queen Kekauluohi, her history showed that she was known as the BIG MOUTH QUEEN. i think i have inherited that trait from her when i attend our public meetings on this Kingdom of Maui, the only thing is that i Honor all with good grace.
so you, ululani~~~you speak out and always Honor your Rights (pono)...........................da princess
