Aloha ,

No plans for the weekend, yet? Why not celebrate the tradition of ʻawa and experience a "Sense of Wonder" with us?
Pacific Islands Kava Festival, UH Mānoa Campus, Saturday, October 3
The Kava Festival, also known in Hawai'i as the 'Awa Festival, features many aspects of 'awa as central to culture for Hawai'i and the Pacific Islands. The festival celebrates 'awa as an important and fundamental aspect of Hawaiian culture and a treasure for Hawai'i's people and the world.
Live local music from Hawai'i's hottest music groups, educational and cultural booths, 'awa sampling, 'awa plants, 'apu making workshop, preparation demos, pa'i'ai/poi pounding, food booths, and Hawai'i's 'awa serving bars and cafes will also be serving the public.

Film Screening: "A Sense of Wonder," Sunday, October 4, UH Spalding Auditorium
As part of "Women of the World," the UH Film Series will be screening the film "A Sense of Wonder," recounting the life of pioneering environmental advocate Rachel Carson, whose life and work spawned a grassroots movement and led to a U.S. ban on DDT (pesticides). Using many of Miss Carson's own words, actress Kaiulani Lee embodies this extraordinary woman in a documentary style film which depicts Carson in the final year of her life. Struggling with cancer, Carson recounts with both humor and anger the attacks by the chemical industry, the government and the press as she focuses her limited energy to get her message to Congress and to the people.
At the time that Rachel Carson wrote "A Silent Spring" in the 1960s, Hawai'i was seeing 10x more pesticide use than agricultural giant California. Pesticide exposure has since been linked to increases in incidence of breast cancer among women in Hawaii, with calls for clean-up and improved access to detection and care programs.
Mahalo to Don and the UH Film Series for bringing this story to audiences on O'ahu.

WHO WINS IN A FREE HAWAI`I ? - EVERYONE !

Posted by Free Hawai`i on October 2, 2009 at 2:56am
One of the biggest lies told is that when Hawai`i achieves nationhood once again it will be at the expense of everyone who is not Hawaiian.But no one will be kicked out, their businesses seized or their homes and property confiscated.Instead everyone, Hawaiians and all others, will be citizens of the sovereign and independent Nation of Hawai`i.The Hawaiian Nation included people of many ethnic backgrounds that were loyal citizens before the illegal overthrow and it will be so again.The truth is a sovereign Hawaiian nation will need the contributions and talents of all of its citizens to remain viable in the world. Hawaiians would be no better than the very supremacists that overthrew and occupied them were they to divide people by race.Hawaiians have always been inclusive, not exclusive.How would this be accomplished politically given a civil war resulted the last time a state tried to leave the US?Unlike southern US states, the Kingdom of Hawai`i and its citizens never agreed to become part of the United States in the first place.Therefore a move for Hawai`i to secede from the US would be both unnecessary and inappropriate.Much like removing the top coat of paint to reveal the one underneath, the US Congress, after consultation between Hawaiians and the US at the level of state to state, could simply enact a US federal law that dissolves the entity known as the “state government” in Hawai`i.What would be left in its place is what has existed all along anyway without interruption – the independent Nation of Hawai`i.

Manifest Destiny

Posted by Kaapuikinaea on October 1, 2009 at 2:00pm
This blog entry was inspired by the recent post initiated by Tane about supporting the US Manifest Destiny doctrines. I was writing out my thoughts in my journal & decided to share them here.First, with my own condensed version of the definition as: The United States' destined, apparent & divinely ordained expansion across the north American continent and into the Pacific.This whole idea that Haoles feel it is destined to happen where they or their society will eventually take control or be the common society or occurance.With that concept, it's understandable how blood quantum was born.They knew that with Haole expansion (or Manifest Destiny) the original people of these lands have to go somewhere. If they're not killed off, they would be assimilated. And because those advocates or believers of manifest destiny doctrines realized how they or their predecessors screwed the original peoples out of everything, and as a means to make it up, they provide some type of compensation, as a means to say that they're sorry.But what they end up doing is deciding who is entitled to such compensation or benefits by dictating who is or who isn't "native" based on their implemented blood quantum percentage. Exactly who decides how much blood quantum is sufficient is irrelevant. This is a foreign concept, a Haole one used for the original peoples.Because of this means to gauge who qualifies for benefits, everyone, including the beneficiaries blieve this is how we define these particular ethnic groups or nations. In other words, everyone gets to decide who is or who isn't _____ (fill in w/ appropriate indigenous group's name) based on the blood quantum specified. But if it's not that, it is other aspects of that person's culture or even personal characteristics that is quantified. That means, people are judged on how much ____ (again, fill in appropriate ethnicity/nationality) you really are based on whatever they feel is a characteristic or trait of that particular group.This is all a result of manifest destiny. The "expansion" isn't just a physical, tangible thing to be seen, but rather it is the idea that helps accomplish the results of the entire expansion.

For Baby, Hana, and Hokulani

Posted by Ululani on October 1, 2009 at 7:00am

For my family and friends who like KNOW:

If y'all noticed I wrote down some of our paternal grandfather's branches in my Facebook. I wrote all of that out primarily for my littlest cousins Baby (who is expected to appear in December,) Hana (1), and Hokulani (4).I do NOT divulge it for public consumption and ask those who can see it to *not* share it with ANYONE. If you DO share it... consider yourself warned that you WILL be cursed LOL I know how some people can be as well.. as in pilau grabbing onto your every word... trying to peck peck peck AT you LOL Thus pecking at YOUR iwi which to me is very rude.BTW Kalani and I have been discussing about how he thinks that O'ahuans are rude, pushy, and/or egocentric. My piko is from my mom who is from Hilo but I was born on O'ahu so I know how rude some people can be but rudeness, pushiness, and being egocentric are not mutually exclusive to O'ahuans. Look at my cousin Boyd who is on MAUI LOL Another one of my non-oiwi distant relatives in HILO helped to destroy HAWAIIANS. Location is irrelevant but people will believe what they want to believe and it does not surprise me that the innocent people *continue* to pay for what the FEW guilty have done.How can I tell? Because when some people know that Boyd Mossman is my cousin on my paternal side they think that I AM LIKE HIM LOL So annoying! It is actually an INSULT to me when people extrapolate his arrogance TO ME. By the way props to people like Foster Ampong who confronts my cousin PUBLICLY for all to see because IMHO my cousin brings dishonor to our family name and I think that he needs to HUMBLE HIMSELF but then who AM I TO SAY LOLWell I will be writing out Kaimuki Grandma's side when I have time. However I would not hold your breath because I will probably do it sometime next month or so LOLIronically my great grandmother on my PATERNAL side was honored in 1991 by Hale o Na Ali'i when she was 100 years old and the oldest member of that group at that time yet some people act like TOTAL as*h*l*s to ME LOL It was even in the local paper but then people would not know but they should not ASSUME.I have yet to post my mother's side at FB too but I highly doubt I will get to it any time soon. As I explained at my FB which is limited to a few people who I trust LOL I posted my paternal grandfather's branches because he was a GREAT man and let us live with him when we were kids and had NOWHERE else to go. So he is first LOLI also think that he wants his great grandbabies to know so that is why I am telling their parents (who are my cousins) so that they will know LOL One of my cousins is expecting a baby in December that is why. I call him "Baby" and I think our grandfather wants the baby to KNOW so while I know that got some PILAU people who will use some information to harm people... I posted it there primarily for Baby, Hana, and Hokulani who are under the age of five.By the way I think it's so RUDE when some people ack the way they do. Fricken RUDE! The epitome of maha oi if you ask me but then who AM I to say? LOLSeriously... I was raised respecting the kanaka as a PERSON. They EXPECTED me to respect the kanaka as a PERSON.They made sure that I KNOW that respect is not what you SAY. It is WHAT YOU DO and HOW YOU TREAT KANAKA which is A gauge of who YOU are as a kanaka/person and who THEY (kupuna) are as kanaka.I guess for some people that is so NOT the case LOLBut one way to ANNOY ME is to SAY that you respect. One way to IMPRESS ME is to DO IT LOLThen again talk is cheap and some people REALLY ANNOY ME when they TALK LOLAnyway latahs!

WHO REALLY OWNS LAND TODAY IN HAWAI`I ?

Posted by Free Hawai`i on September 29, 2009 at 6:26am
Land Titles Issued Today Are Very Much In Doubt - "Clear Title," regarding legitimate legal ownership of land in Hawai`i is a topic that has become an issue in the political and commercial areas. With more lands being "quiet titled" in the courts with the aid of foreign laws (USA and the fake state of Hawai`i) illegally imposed against the rightful and legal owners of these lands with a judicial system aiding and abetting in these crimes, it's no wonder developers are eager to build hundreds of new luxury homes on La`au Point on Molokai and elsewhere.To this day, land titles in Hawai`i continue to carry the original "royal patent" from the Mahele of 1848.If The US Government or fake state of Hawai`i and their citizens rightfully have "clear title" to these lands, then why haven't US patents replaced the royal patents as was done in the other 49 US states? Answer - Each royal patent has been "adjudicated," making them all a legal decree.When purchasing land, a "warranty deed" is issued instead, not clear title per se. It's no different than if someone steals your car and attempts to sell it to someone else - they can't convey the "pink slip" to the new owner because they never had it in the first place - they're simply selling stolen property. That's Why There Is No Clear Title To Land In Hawai`i

Aloha ,
TOMORROW, Obama Administration officials will be in Honolulu to listen& learn as they prepare recommendations for a unified U.S. OceanPolicy. They will convene a public "listening session" tomorrow, Tuesday, September 29th, 1:30PM - 6PM at the Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. You should be there.

20090928-t37rixfmj9u1qnkrgd922yw3fu.jpg
Got one of these? Kama'aina Kids will be providing free childcare for your keiki while you attend and testify at the Ocean Policy Taskforce! Free parking at the Blaisdell will also be provided.

In June, the President made a commitment to dramatically improve thehealth of the ocean. Sadly, the push towards a unified U.S. oceanpolicy may get hijacked by corporate interests seeking to exploit ouroceans and may end up undermining local management efforts.

Thankfully, the Obama Administration heeded the public call to hold aspecial listening session in Honolulu. Now, high-rankingAdministration officials will hear directly from us on what can be doneto protect our oceans and respect our unique way of life.

We think it is so important that you attend that we have negotiated forfree public parking at the Blaisdell and free keiki-care, so parentscan focus for a minute on testifying to the Administration panel! (We're parents, too... We know how it is!)
Can't be there in person? Click here to find out about live videoconferencing options and submitting written comments (http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ceq/initiatives/oceans/). Call us, if you need any more information, at 808-524-8220, or toll-free at 1-800-585-2432.

IS IT ANY WONDER PEOPLE WANT THE ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF HAWAI`I TO END?

Posted by Free Hawai`i on September 28, 2009 at 7:30am
Life Harder Under US OccupationIn the 1980s, Hawai`i gained the enviable reputation of providing medical insurance to the highest percentage of residents of any state.A decade after the state ended dental cover, toothless smiles are commonplace among the poor. Tens of thousands of residents have no medical insurance at all. Despite higher profits for many businesses, jobs are scarce and most of the available work pays minimum wage or close to it.In some cases, the lives of the working poor are worse than the unemployed. Among other things, they don't qualify for state financial assistance or full food stamp benefits. Today most of Hawai`i island, Molokai, Lana`i and Kaua`i are economic wastelands with little opportunity to make a decent living.On Kaua`i workers often share apartments or small houses with several other workers because rents are too expensive for one or two individuals to afford. On every island married couples with children often work two jobs each to make ends meet - if they are fortunate enough to find that many jobs, even at minimum wage. Hawai`i imports two-thirds of its food from the mainland and locally-grown food is expensive due to high land prices.

Latest plus some pics of Aloha Week

Posted by Ululani on September 26, 2009 at 4:30pm

For my family and friends who like KNOW:

I posted the latest article written about my paternal grandmother in the Honolulu Advertiser at my Facebook. I am so embarrassed... though not of my family. Just of some of them like Boyd LOLBoth of my parents are oiwi and while my paternal grandfather descends from N___e through K____e via K____________, Boyd is related through my paternal grandmother's line. It's bad to say but I wish I was not related to Boyd so I NOT going post pics of my paternal grandmother who sometimes attends "Ali'i Sunday" LOL In fact just recently someone who is notable in Hawai'i asked me if I was related to so-and-so. The person was actually asking me about my paternal grandmother LOLI should hyphenate my name... but I won't.Anyway I FINALLY found a copy of Arthur Mann's "Government in Hawaii" (1949) as I collect anything Hawaiian for my library collection and I have an extensive Hawaiian collection LOL I even have a copy of Fornander's books even though some of it is really inaccurate LOL Well this one has pictures so of course it pissed me off seeing this picture because this picture shows the face of someone who is disrespectful and instead of doing the right thing... they made any kine which adversely affected people's lives:

I have my own Hawaiiana collection so I got it. That and Professor Mackenzie's "Native Hawaiian Rights Handbook" as they do not teach this in Florida (LOL) I gotta say though that Florida is great because of the Seminoles. They really kick butt and the state government respect them because the Seminoles EXPECT and DEMAND that they BE respected so in that sense I love the Seminoles and how they relate to the local, state, and federal governments. So when I read what I read (LOL) I compare and contrast primarily with the Seminoles.I may post pics of my reading room. I also have a library of books along a wall in my livingroom. Not sure if I will ever post pics of my book collection though.Some people ask me why I bother reading so many books. (I just pau reading yet another one last night.) Well to me it's important to know the theory so that I can throw it back... in their face LOL It makes me laugh. Kalani once told me that he notices that about me. One thing that annoys me though are those times when some people say that I look like a senator's wife. I don't know why they tell me that because I do NOT look like a senator's wife. To me that is an INSULT LOLOkay more pictures... of Aloha Week. I do not care for concrete or pavement but here are some pics:I know that some people look down on public schools but before I attended Kamehameha Schools... I attended public schools like Liholiho Elementary School and Lili'uokalani Elementary School so I like seeing public school students making it:

I gotta say that if I could choose teachers for my keiki (LOL) one of them would be HER because to me she is beautiful and seems to be a caring teacher which is rare in Hawai'i:

Ironically before I attended Kamehameha Schools I attended Liholiho Elementary School and Lili'uokalani Elementary School and some teachers at Lili'uokalani Elementary told my mom that I had to stop speaking pidgin which I picked up in Keaukaha. They told my mother that I had to speak standard American diction. Ironically pidgin is better because it is a synthesis of languages which helped people work TOGETHER but no... those pseudo-intellectuals wanted to make any kine LOL (I still speak pidgin. I do not care what some pseudo-intellectuals say LOL) By the way when I attended Star of the Sea School some people there were mean so NO OFFENSE but I have an aversion to some Catholics too because they claimed to be like Christ yet were anything but.

I love this picture because 1) Purple is my favorite color like my truck and 2) I think she is so pretty!

In the mean time I forgot to add to this part LOL... but I am still studying for a huge exam in December. It is not easy. Then I have another one in February. Granted... some people think it's so easy but it's not. I read material at least three times to fully absorb the material so no it is not easy. For me anyway LOL I researched pass rates and it is about 81%. Plus I read other books. It's extremely tough for me but I know that I will do fine. However long it takes me LOLLatahs!!!

The Poverty of Philosophy by Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani

Posted by Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloi on September 25, 2009 at 2:00pm
Most Māori/Maoli/Maohi people who are struggling to get food, clothes and shelter are so concerned with that, that philosophizing about freedom and socialist democracy is usually unfortunately beyond their rational. They don't realize that the power of the settler government's throughout the world can't exist without first separating us from our identity, because if we had some sense of who we really are, there is no way in hell we would allow any government to push its genocidal consensus on our homelands.This ignorance exists - but it can be destroyed. Māori/Maohi/Maoli talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within its not you who changes the system, but its the system that will eventually change you. There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising your self, your culture and your people in any situation is another story completely. Our World is a landscape of Māori/Maohi/Maoli Nations, Iwi and Hapū who’s "nowr-days so called chiefs" are cowards in the face of colonial imperialism. You see our country is abundant in resources, and we have the capacity to eliminate poverty from our society. But plutocracy, another words a government run by the rich such as this one and traditionally oppressive European states, force the third world into buying over priced unnecessary goods while exporting huge portions of our natural resources. I'm quite sure that people will look upon my attitude and sentiments and look for hypocrisy and hatred in my words. But my revolution is born out of love for my people - not hatred for others.You see most Māori/Maohi/Maoli have left their homelands in an exodus for "the better life", and have crossed the Great Ocean of Kiwa to disconnect themselves from the reality of their own cultural oppression, in the īllusion of superiority, elevating themselves in the pecking order of the oppressed. I know I was one of them.Our Indigenous brothers and sisters of Australia, Tāhiti, Kanaky, Fiji, Hawaii and all other pacific nations, and Indigenous nations of the world, as different as we have been taught to look at each other by colonial society we are in the same struggle, and until we realize that, we will be fighting for scraps from the table of a system that has kept us subservient instead of being self determined. As a result we have no control over our lands, nor do we run our own country.So no matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in and follow an anorexic standard of beauty; and no matter how many diamonds you buy, and the people who you exploit to get them; no matter what kind of car you drive, or what kind of fancy clothes you put on - you will never be them - they are always going to look at you like nothing but a fucken little monkey. I’d rather be proud of being Māori/Maohi/Maoli rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not - just to fit in. And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.I want a better life for my family and for my children, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of my own homeland, or any one else s. We are given the idea that if we didn't have people to exploit that this world wouldn't be rich enough to let us have these petty little material things in our lives and basic standards of living but you see here in our country the attitude that is feed to us, is that out there lives lesser people then us and “fuck them” let them fend for them self's, No! fuck you! they are us!It's the business giants and the government officials who make all the real money - we have what ever they decide to kick down to us. My enemy is not the average white man, it's not the white family down the block ,or the kids I see on the street. My enemy is the white-collar criminal I don't see, the business round table, the corporate monopoly owners, fake liberals, and "politicians playing god" - those are my enemies, the Generals of the army's, those are the real “mutha fuckers” that I need to take it too and must be made accountable. Not the poor broke country arse solider that's too stupid to know shit about the way things are set up. In fact I have more in common with most working and middle class white people than I do with most rich Māori/Maohi/Maoli corporates.As much as this country is founded on racism, we also need to understand the real issue is classism. Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking while these rich “mutha fuckers” ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we are all in, we are going to miss the right to get back a better standard of living as a whole. In another words - I have no intention of escaping my homeland. I am here to smash down the walls that keep us in, to free all my people - and hang the “mutha fuckers” that kept me bound there, then burn their house of oppression to the god damn ground. I want to take back these lands and return them to my people who's ancestors blood was spilled to protect these lands .You cannot change the past - but you can make the future, and anyone that tells you different is a fucken lethargic devil. I don't look upon a few token Māori/Maohi/Maoli people in the public sector as some type of achievement for my people as a whole. Most of those so called "successful" individuals are only concerned with acquiring wealth for their own profit, and will happily sell them selves out - and their people to do so. But I don't consider a brother a sell-out if he moves out of the ghetto. Understand this - poverty has nothing to do with our people - it's not in our culture to be poor - that's only been the last 130 years of our history. Remember eternity and our existence as a people and the knowledge we brought to the world in terms of quantum physic's, strategic warfare in world war 1, world world 2 and deep sea navigation. So in conclusion, I'm not going to vote for somebody just because they are Māori/Maoli/Maohi. They have to truly want to fight for what's rightfully ours and fight to free our people. Sometimes language needs to be heard using its exact tones and phrases of pure expression. Mahalo, iorana, kia orana, maururu and kia ora.Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani

The Di "vine" Thread Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani

Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani(conscious name) in its highest interpretation is me, it is who I am, it is who we all truly are, it is the sublime nature of “all being” known as source energy (mana) experiencing its self in this physical form. Its intrinsically a Te Tāwera Hapū o Ngāti Awa (The Star of God) worldview integrated with universal intelligence arbitrating the inherent relationship within quantum knowledge as a medium to filter the universal impact on human existence, to the implication and effects of spiritual and political genocide imposed unwillfuly upon our universe and our Hau ō Ra - well being in order that we may not comprehend the esoteric agenda of life its self. It is the vigilance to cultivate consciously spiritual, physical and emotional practices to harvest freedom within the heart, mind, soul and body of a self sustained consciousness. It is the exploration of the last known bastion embedded within the narrative of the human soul, the final frontier "Te Tūāpae Taumārearea" - “consciousness its self” decoratively carved within the ethos of Te Tāwera Hapū o Ngāti Awa's paradigm, meshed together with quantum realities to observe the coherent relationship within the collective.Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani(the core of existence) is the understanding of this relationship on all levels that we might evolve beyond today's self serving environment. It is the sacred indomitable thread of all consciousness “he aho kāwai heke”( the indomitable thread), "Ko Te Awa o Te Atua, he Awanuiārangi - the ancient river of life". It is the true nature of “Te Tāwera Hapū o Ngāti Awa” its origin of being , the harmonics of language, the recitation of genealogy, the retelling of legends and the personification to land. These are the core values at the heart of the indestructible vine of Tāwhaki and Tāne, simulated within Cosmo-genesis connected to the quantum apocalypse of infinite dimensional realms. Maintained deep within its knowing is “one truth” - "te tika" that sits as an observing witness beyond the static fusion of mental noise. It is the resuscitation of cosmic life with “Human Consciousness” defined as “Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani” The pathway of Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani and its relationship to the human dimension, its holographic universe as articulated within its own illusion. Inter grated within its fabric are the “immortal threads” - "ngā ira atua" that traverse the vast oceans of consciousness and human diversity.It is our individual ability to reconnect to Te Pū Motomoto - The Vortex of consciousness and its centrifugal force - "te tapu" the sacredness of all sequential patterning within existence, then calibrating the divine element, the immortal and the indestructible self to the unlimited potential of the universe on a metaphysical, physical, social, political and economical construct. Knowing it is "Io" the great oneness. It serves to nourish our awareness and connection to all that is, to all that will be, to all that has been and to all that is you, thus self sustain life in this dimension and beyond. It is the reseeding tide - "te tai whakariipi" to the nature of whom we truly are in a time of great forgetting. It is self sustainability physically, mentally, emotionally, sexually and spiritual consciousness on all levels. It is the emancipation from the political and spiritual injustice that continues to systematically hold us jailed within its genocidal mentality. It is the hope that we might seek to explore the truth "te tika" of true spiritual and physical empowerment of “divine order ” - "te wairua tapu" held within the sacred “Lore of Tāwhaki Nui ā Hema” (ancient māori lore), the sacred lore of Tānenuiārangi, the sacred lore of Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani the supernatural immortality that lies dormant within the language of our souls waiting to be caressed once again.To be successful within the sacred vine of Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani, Tāwhaki or Tānenuiārangi there needs to be ultimate discipline, infinite patience, divine timing and all knowledge of every situation on all levels, the forth and final requirement is the willingness to make all and every sacrifice when and where its needed. Meaning infinite patience which could mean millions of years. Timing: working in spiritual timing with divination and prophecy. Knowledge of potential obstacles at all levels. Be willing to make all and every sacrifice where and when we need to do it. The only true salvation from any oppression or enslavement can be self empowerment, knowledge, consciousness, this is true rebellion. A true rebellion begins when you quit following and start leading.Tamehana Reone Ngaropo is my birth name. Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani is my spiritual realization and a conscious knowing that I am one with life its self, that I am a child of Te Tāwera Hapū o Ngāti Awa descend from the immortal vine of Tāwhaki( immortal being). My realization being, that from a golden thread of the great spider Mokotitiatoa can I forge a connection to the quantum dimensions and beyond. This reality has always been my destiny. Te Ngako-o-te-rangi is an epiphany of my “divine realization” consummated within the still, calm and solid awareness of all knowing. Be still and know that I am Te Ngako-o-te-rangi. Be still in know that I am God. I am a hole in the flute that Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani's breath moves through. Listen to its music. Tīhei Mauri o Rā! ( I am one).Ka Nāʻo o ka lani -o- Nākoloikalani

Now OHAʻs Leaders with a new strategic Plan, announcing that OHA will be morphing into a corporation government entity by way of the Akaka Bill, in closing their radio show Apoliona made it clear they are seeking and are a corporation entity and seeks this status.Please let the Ohana know at the Hui Pu and others that care, that we ohana will be protesting at OHA office on the Sept 25 Friday starting at 6:45 until ohana pau.We are protesting about OHA ignoring our burial sites protection i.e. at Mauna Lahilahi, Makua, Lihuʻe ETC. and for OHA falsely using our queen message to obfuscate-obscure the issue is about thief of our identity. Onipaa means to "seek Justice" not to seek wisdom, whoʻs message is wisdom is from the occupier state agency calling it self OHA- -Apoliona states she wants the knew entity to be a corporation, yet we are ignored as living human beings and our burial sites are exterminated.We object and protest that OHA is a large part of the "Fake States Arm" and it allows selective Genocide to Hawaiian Nationals and is not a true representation of "Hawaiian Nationals identity."We "Protest" against the thief of our "identity"! We will be there Protesting this identity thief standing up and Marching.Please Join us ohana as soon as possible!Also, on Saturday the 26, of Sept. at 8:00am we will be protesting at the HECO-Kahe Power Plant, about heco ignoring our ohana-s burial sites, and allowing 4wheelers to play sand-course practice on our iwi. Their at O iʻo in the Sand-dune in-front of HECO on the Nanakuli side of Kahe-O iʻo Beach. HECO does the same thing to our sacred sites that the Fake OHA does, just ignore it exist! They feel safe from prosecution for now, because our people have not stood up yet against it and the poppets are many, and obscurity is their only weapon, but times have changed!We shall and must peacefully protest against this desecration and we shall keep our identity and to the last Hawaiian National standing, especially for those yet to come!!!Also, a special mahalo no to Keaumoku and Manu Kaiama for their good work in our Hawaiian National Community!!!Aloha no my ohana, and remember what our kupuna visualized practiced and taught us to do in these matters.

HAWAI`I HIJACK HIJINKS

Posted by Free Hawai`i on September 25, 2009 at 3:01am
Of the 40,000 non Kingdom subjects in Hawai`i at the time of the illegal 1898 overthrow, only 1,928 or so were US nationals as documented by the 1900 census.They represented less than 3% of the entire population.The rest of the non U.S. aliens were not supportive of the illegal annexation of Hawai`i by the US.This means that less than 3% of the population, all U.S. aliens, hijacked the Hawaiian Nation against the wishes of almost everybody else.
