Auwe! Get the facts straight. It is not good to mislead anyone. All the ICA (Intermediate Court of Appeals) said was that the district court lacked jurisdiction; however, I am the sole successor to the 999 homestead lease not only as the surviving widow pursuant to statute but also by bequest, conveyance and will which was both handwritten and notarized which made it a legal palapala.Please stop misleading people into believing that anything was "stolen". You asked that I sign over the leasehold to you and I said no and gave you the reasons why. To date, you still haven't done anything to malama Palolo except take costly "cheap" shots at me. Again, I want to re-iterate. I am your father's widow. I stood by him through thick and thin - more thin than thick and took care of him until his death. His last ha was taken with me. I took care of your grandparents until their deaths - all of whom were able to die at home in Palolo. Not only did I take care of our family, I also took care of your first children when you were not able to. This has nothing to do with bloodline. This has everything to do with kuleana and that kuleana was left with me not only in spirit but in deed by the very ones who felt it would be safe.Also, as you are fully aware, I am of Hawaiian ancestry and am the great grand-niece of Robert Wilcox, first delegate to congress after the overthrow of 1893 (preceding Kuhio). I feel very strongly on Hawaiian injustices as you do; however, Palolo is not one of them.
Kaohi, yes you are correct in saying that this is not your place. There are other children that exist; born, raised and lived in palolo unlike raene. So, from your perspective, your comment doesn't make sense. tahititian connection - what is that? I did not create the problem and am protecting it's original footing. Perhaps you need a better understanding of what kuleana means which brings me to the point - how do you know that i am not of bloodline to this ahupuaa (kaananiau)?
Ellie, this is not my place to say what should be done to correct this problem. But, from my perspective without the children the land will cease to exist in the American system. Tahitian connection is off the mark. As I said this is not my place to say, I wish you all well to solve this problem and protect the corner with it's original footing. You Ellie are not of the bloodline just an equal partner. I do not know Raene, but I would favor her over a caregiver. Kaohi
