Today is September 11th. It is a significant day. No... it has nothing to do with America *LOL* Even though I am a registered Republican who believes in the TOTAL independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom (which REALLY pisses off some Republicans... and I AM GLAD that it pisses them off LOL) bluntly... I am sick and tired of hearing and/or reading about America LOLSorry to disappoint but America is NOT the center of MY universe (LOL) The iwi, oiwi, my kupuna, my husband, my ohana, and my hoaaloha are my WORLD. Unfortunately some people extrapolate me being a "registered Republican" to mean things that THEY want them to mean. Of all the people whom I know --- I am the #1 extremist when it comes to the iwi thus of oiwi LOL Thus I wish I could see and/or hear more about the IWI and/or OIWI. I do NOT want to see and/or hear about America America America LOL Then again it shows me what someone's mana'o is focused on whether it be the U.S.... or the iwi.IMHO some people focus way too much on America instead of on the iwi. FOCUS ON THE IWI thus on the OIWI... that is what I feel like saying sometimes LOL.. because without the iwi there is no oiwi. Without the iwi there is no Hawaiian Kingdom. Stating the obvious though it would be nice to see more people celebrate the iwi and/or the survival of the iwi instead of focusing on the United States because hello... we are STILL alive despite all of the crap so why not CELEBRATE? LOLAnyway though I don't post much information about most of my kupunas' bones because ever since I was a little girl my kupuna told me NOT to expose their bones I CAN say that one of my many maternal grandmothers from apana o Kona kema signed the Ku'e Anti-Annexation Petition by proxy on this day in 1897!http://libweb.hawaii.edu/digicoll/annexation/petition/pet007.htmlShe is #24, Mrs. Lokini Among.She signed it by proxy when she was only 20! Of course family is very important to me. For me... you mess with MY family then *YOU* pau! LOL (When it comes time I know who to help and who *not* to help.)So today is a great day... but not because of what some people conflate to "September 11th."Instead it is one of the most important dates in Hawaiian history... especially for oiwi women who have been threatened and/or harassed by some non-oiwi men throughout our history to the present. That is why it was an honor and privilege to have planned to walk way way way in the back only to end up front and have two of my teenage nieces hold two flags... one of which was Lili'u's flag which is significant to me:
Of course stating the obvious as usual and without divulging some things from lurkers' prying eyes (LOL) and/or from software that mines for data about us (LOL) --- Ululani Ali'i o Hilo helped to make Naihe's AND Queen Lili'uokalani's births possible... so it is pretty cool LOLIronically my younger niece who attends a school for brainy kids also described it as a "parade" -- as in a celebration. That is exactly how I thought of it. As in a celebration of the iwi... thus of the oiwi LOL So those who know me know that to me the iwi is serious business. I may laugh a lot... but when it comes to the iwi... whoa boy... watch out *LOL*Latahs!
ALOHA Kakou, e Hawaii, Instead of lowering the American flag, President Obama should place Mr. Bush and his whole administration under Arrest for Crimes against Humanities.
Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom, o Pomai
