What They Say About Themselves, Their Country & The US -"The most common sense thing is for total independence.We were a progressive modern nation of our time and recognized as a friendly, neutral nation within the Family of Nations, the predecessor of the League of Nations and the United Nations.We had a democratic form of government, a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislative assembly.The works and legacies of our monarchs are legendary and noteworthy.Today under the American system, we are concerned about our lands, culture, people and lifestyle which has been under attack for over a hundred years.The Kingdom of Hawai`i is not only Native Hawaiians but subjects of non-Hawaiian blood who were legitimate subjects of the Kingdom.This racial argument is an American thing and not a Hawaiian thing.So our concerns are well within our scope to protect all subjects of the Kingdom.We do expect reparations and restitution from the US for the injurious damages to our nation, land and people.The US government is well aware of this and is attempting a piecemeal settlement.If the tables were turned around; which would you do? I'm sure it wouldn't be a hard decision.Remember, Hawaiians never hated Americans; but only those that did harm to us and the US government for its complicity and deceit.We were never afraid that another country would take us over; we had over twenty-four treaties with various countries but the US is the only country that broke their treaties with us."
There was upcomming a documentary for Hawaii..."Life in these Islands" It is proposed to face collectively the issues of Hawaiians today. The Aina, the poi, who is to fish what and where, aina- who where what when going forward. The water, tradition and customs, family rights etc. They were looking for futher funding to broadcast. I was wondering if anyone here knew about it. I learned about it from a Hawaiian internet site...but I don't remember exactly all. If anyone knew I was wondering if there was anything to be address about those who want their land back? It definately should be a part of the show. If it is mainland produced likely no but I don't think that it is...Let me know.
