Aloha,To those out there in Maoli world, please get a copy of, The Great Mahele, by Jon J. Chinen.He explains it well and tells you where these lands are and in the back of the book it explains howKamehameha III, divided out from His Royal Dominion and who got what. In a nutshell the Crown and Government Lands, make up all of Hawai'i.The Good NEWS! There were laws passed on the Great Mahele from the Hawai'i Legislature in 1848 and you can look up those laws in the Archives. The other good news is, there is no King or Konohiki just us, the native tenants. Do you know what that means? It means we can unite, come out with our own community development plans in our communities, with participation of community people who are Hawaiian by blood and those who can trace their genealogy back to their 'ohana who were nationalized in the Kingdom.I have my own opinions and ways to acquire back those lands if you want to learn, come to our next on going meeting to be held in Waimanalo, which will be announced on Monday, where, when and how we are moving forward. This meeting is for those who are going to organize in their own communities, not for individual use, for there is power in numbers in this process. We don't only support one person's need. It has to be a need that a group of people will be willing to divide the tasks and to support the implementation processes.Meanwhile, do your homework and if you are serious we can communicate over this blog, since I can't send mail out in any other venue except through my e-mail addres: "kawehi11@yahoo.com".Onipa'a,Kawehi
