INDIANS ASK APPEALS COURT FOR JUSTICEWASHINGTON, May 11 - A federal appeals court was told today that it should offer 500,000 Native Americans some form of "rough justice" as a result of the federal government's acknowledged mismanagement of their trust accounts.Attorney Dennis M. Gingold, who represents the Indians in a 13-year-old class action lawsuit, said justice for the Native American trust account beneficiaries cannot be complete because so many records of what happened to their trust lands and funds are missing.That means some form of "rough justice" is required, Gingold said, adding that any resolution of the case must be fair."If not, we'll all be here another 13 years," Gingold told a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.Government lawyers said they want the case declared at an end andthe Indians given nothing at all.Full Details Here - http://www.indiantrust.comRead more…

Aloha,Here are some photos that I took at this event at Sandy Beach. My youngest children camped there to learn more about what the Lawful Hawaiian Government is all about. Rather than judging them for what they represent, I sought answers to questions and clarified my own perceptions of what I was in search of.
OTHER PICS. . .
HENRY NOA SHARES HIS MANA'O....
Education is provided to those who inquire. I watched. observed and video taped po'e who came by. I was very impressed of the younger generation educating others of how they have established themselves. As the process of reinstatement rolled out, these young men and others who supported are kind and generous people. Their hospitality can be felt as I learned more about LHG!

I spent the weekend camping at Sandy Beach with Henry Noa, his 'ohana, Alexander Luca and other members of LHG. As I drove to Sandy's, I saw a sign that says
I was intrigued to learn more about the LAWFUL HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT. I always saw the signs, but never took the time to inquire about it. Perhaps spend many years hearing about it from different groups. I was very optimistic about any group knowingly that the primary goal is to unite and move forward.I must admit I was amazed. I decided to camp after several request. The LHG had occupied the whole "corner pocket" with their tents. Yes, they had tents with their mo'olelo to educate the po'e. I took many pictures and asked questions. I video taped many people who came. Very interesting people I met and eager to be part of a process already established. Yes, the LHG is established already and currently educating po'e what they are all about.The process took ten years, however the time invested is worthwhile. Why were they successful to reinstate the government is the question I asked?What made this group different as cousin Luca had described in his interview?Come home to the KINGDOM!
I camped for two nights and had a wonderful time. It wasn't about Henry Noa forcing me to choose his entity over others. It was about educating me on their process. There many police officers that past through the night "chasing the young generation out to go home." However, the po'e who was on the side we camped was not bothered by the police. I was amazed because most times they are chasing or harassing Hawaiians for camping at the beach!AT SANDYS! No possible way to camp there and not be bothered by the police! The last time, FIRST NATION rocked the house with their "rasta man music." I could not imagine what it felt like to sit near the beach, enjoy the music of their songs. It has been a long time being able to relax and not worry about life itself! FIRST NATION jammed and played in rhythm as they rapped their music of what happened to our people.Kai, a member of the band pounded the drums and rapped about our own history that brought tears to my eyes. Yes, it is our po'e, the younger generation recognizes that the historical injustice that prevails among our own people!
FIRST NATION (MUSICAL BAND) all songs are originalIn my opinion, it was an educational experience that I enjoyed. Mahalo to cousin Luca and Bobby for sharing, inspiring and inviting everyone! Mahalo to these two men in my life!I leave you with these thoughts.....Don't allow people to tell you how you should feel about your own history. It is your kuleana to educate yourself of your own history. Our people have listened to others and look what happened. Its time to malama and care for our 'ohana!It is time to do something about it and it starts in with YOU! Be akamai and learn about the issues that impact all of us today. I learn something new everyday and share my mana'o of my insight!Sending a ray of sunshine to all kanaka maoli! Have a wonderful day!

What a wise Queen....."The way to lose any earthly kingdom is to be inflexible, intolerant, and prejudicial. Another way is to be too flexible, tolerant of too many wrongs, and without judgment at all. It is a razor's edge. It is the width of a blade of pili grass."

I Kalokoeli kuu wa liiliiKa ulukanu o ka akulikulikaiI ka wela o ke awakeaLealea no i ka auau kaiKomo ka pilo i ka makani paiMai ka wanaao a i ke aumoeSince I'm writing some things from home I figured I'd jot them down here to help me remember. Visiting my Aunty's house in Kamiloloa was always fun because she lived by the fishpond (Kaloko'eli) and us kids liked to go swimming there in the fishpond.I saw old pics. of that pond, taken pre-1970s and it was mostly sand. Unlike in the days I lived there and visited when I was younger, covered in a lot of mud and akulikuli off to the side and lots & lots of mangrove. That's why the mud build up was...well, building up. Last I saw it in 1999 it was overgrown and getting worse. My heart just sank after I saw how invasive the mangrove and the akulikuli was.That place was always hot though. I lived there from Nov. 1982 (day after Hurricane Ewa) and moved by Sept 1984 back up to Kualapuu where I was originally from. Kaunakakai or the south side of the island was just hot & dry. By noon time, it was baking, always freckin' hot & my aunty had plenny fans not doing nothing really. Taking naps & waking up drenched in sweat was common.And damn that stinky, swampy ass smell however was something I hated. The area between Kamiloloa and Kapaakea was overgrown with both kiawe and mangrove, I couldn't tell where the swampy area was. There was an old stream that really didn't move, the water pilau as usual and I always suspected that to be the source of that stink smell, but that place had a much larger, swampy, stagnant area that gave off that smell all day & night. Wind or no wind, you smelled it.Still, these are the fondest things I remember back there.

The Maui News - May 8, 2009The writer of an April 23 letter stated "The kingdom was extinguished . . . by dejure recognition of a new government of Hawai`i in 1894."No nation explicitly recognized the Republic of Hawai`i as the dejure government. They only acknowledged the fact of the republic's actual control. De facto is defined as "In fact a state of affairs which must be accepted for all practical purposes but is illegal or illegitimate."The Hawai`i Kingdom wasn't "extinguished per 1893 law...."...The writer is correct is saying "the kingdom was not a wholly Native Hawaiian entity." The Hawaii Kingdom's existing claims are based on nationality, not ethnicity.Therefore the Akaka Bill's attempts to reduce legitimate international kingdom claims to a race-based domestic dependent entity are worse than "nonsense."This violates the U.S. Constitution, present day international law and the rights of all kingdom subjects and their Hawai`i-born descendants.Dan TaylorHaiku, MauiRead more…
Study: Ginger can help reduce nausea after chemotherapyBy Liz Szabo, USA TODAYGinger capsules can relieve the nausea caused by chemotherapy, a new study shows.Up to 70% of patients become nauseated after chemo, according to a study of 644 people released Thursday, in advance of the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which begins in two weeks in Orlando.Although drugs such as Kytril can prevent vomiting, they don't always relieve nausea, says author Julie Ryan, assistant professor of dermatology and radiation oncology at the University of Rochester Medical Center.Ginger, however, reduced patients' nausea levels by half, according to the study, funded by the National Cancer Institute. On a scale of one to seven — in which seven represents the worst nausea — chemo patients given placebos rated their nausea as a 5 or 6, or very nauseous.Those given ginger, however, rated their nausea level as only 2 or 3, Ryan says.Patients took ginger three days before and three days after getting chemo, Ryan says. Patients took three capsules, twice a day. The most effective doses were 1 gram and 0.5 gram a day, which are equal to half a teaspoon or one-quarter of a teaspoon of ground ginger.All patients also got standard drugs to prevent vomiting, Ryan says.Significantly, ginger caused no side effects.Doctors were careful to monitor patients' platelet levels, because some earlier research suggested that ginger might act like a blood thinner, Ryan says."That's why we're so excited. This is something that people have access to, that won't harm them," says Ryan, who notes that ginger capsules are commonly sold in health food stores.Although ginger has been used as a folk remedy for nausea for centuries, this is the first time that it has been so rigorously tested for chemo patients, says Richard Schilsky, oncology society president, who wasn't involved in the study. He describes the trial's results as "conclusive."Several studies have shown that ginger can relieve morning sickness during pregnancy, says Linda Lee, director of the Johns Hopkins Integrative Medicine & Digestive Center. Doctors don't yet understand exactly why it works.Lee notes that the Food and Drug Administration doesn't regulate supplements such as ginger the same way as it regulates drugs."One of the challenges about recommending a ginger supplement is that not all brands are created equal," Lee says. "One study looked at several ginger supplements on the market, only to find a few of them did not contain gingerol, one of the active compounds in ginger."And Schilsky notes that, because researchers didn't test powdered or fresh ginger, they don't know if these types of ginger are as effective as capsules."How do you translate ginger in a capsule to the ginger in your spice rack?" Schilsky asks. "Can you drink a six pack of ginger ale?"Douglas Blayney, incoming president of the oncology society, says cancer patients should resist the temptation to indulge in too much ginger soda or cookies, however. Some studies show that cancer patients who gain weight are more likely to relapse.Studies show up to two-thirds of cancer patients try herbal remedies or other alternative therapies.Cancer researchers are increasingly interested in testing these approaches.In 2007, researchers at the cancer society meeting showed that ginseng could help relieve cancer patients' fatigue.After eight weeks of treatment in that study, roughly 27% of those who took the two highest ginseng doses rated their fatigue as "moderately" or "very much" better, she says. Only 10% of those who took placebos or the lowest ginseng dose improved that much.And while alternative therapies can relieve some treatment-related symptoms, researchers haven't shown the these folk remedies actually treat cancer. At the 2007 meeting, researchers found that shark cartilage had no effect on lung cancer.

Judge to decide if family can refuse chemo for boyBy Patrick Condon, Associated Press WriterMINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota judge is expected to decide whether a family can refuse chemotherapy for a 13-year-boy's cancer and treat him with natural medicine, even though doctors say it's effectively a death sentence.With chemotherapy, Daniel Hauser has a 90 percent chance of surviving his Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to his cancer doctor. And without it?"It is almost certain that he will die," said Dr. Bruce Bostrom, a pediatric oncologist at Children's Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota. Bostrom, who diagnosed the disease, is an ally of the legal effort in southwestern Minnesota's Brown County to make Hauser submit to chemotherapy even though he and his parents believe it's potentially more harmful than the cancer itself.District Judge John Rodenberg was expected to rule Friday on Brown County's motion.Bostrom said Daniel's chance of survival without chemotherapy is about 5 percent. Nevertheless, parents Colleen and Anthony Hauser are supporting what they say is their son's decision to instead treat the disease with nutritional supplements and other alternative treatments favored by the Nemenhah Band. The Missouri-based religious group believes in natural healing methods advocated by some American Indians."This is about the right of a 13-year-old young man to be free from acts of assault on his body," said the family's attorney, Calvin Johnson. The Hausers did not return several phone messages left at their home Thursday.Bostrom diagnosed Daniel Hauser with Hodgkin's lymphoma in January, and recommended he undergo chemotherapy treatments once a month for six months, followed by radiation. Daniel became gravely ill about a week later and was taken to an emergency room, Bostrom said, and the family consented to the first chemotherapy treatment.After that, Bostrom said, the family said they wanted a second opinion. They later informed him that Daniel would not undergo any more chemotherapy. Bostrom said Daniel's tumor shrunk after the first chemotherapy session.Two other doctors who examined Daniel backed up Bostrom's assessment at a court hearing last Friday. At that hearing, Colleen Hauser testified her son became sick and depressed after the first treatment, and said the family only would consent to traditional treatments in the case of a life-threatening illness."My son is not in any medical danger at this point," Colleen Hauser testified. She also testified that Daniel was a medicine man and elder in the Nemenhah Band.The mother said her son made the decision himself to refuse chemotherapy: "I think he understands he has the right to choose healthier forms of dealing with this cancer."Brown County disagrees, and pressed the case after Bostrom notified child protection authorities.Daniel Hauser "does not have a complete understanding of what it means to be a medicine man or an elder," Brown County Attorney James Olson wrote in a legal filing.The Hausers, who are Roman Catholic, have eight children. Colleen Hauser told the New Ulm Journal newspaper that the family's Catholicism and adherence to the Nemenhah Band are not in conflict, and said she has treated illness with natural remedies her entire life.Nemenhah was founded in the 1990s by Philip Cloudpiler Landis, who said Thursday that he was one-fourth American Indian. Nemenhah adherents are asked to pay $250 to be members. "We're non-dogmatic, a very universal faith," Landis said.Landis said he founded the faith after facing his diagnosis of a cancer similar to Daniel Hauser. He said he treated it with diet choices, visits to a sweat lodge and other natural remedies. Landis also once served four months in prison in Idaho for fraud related to advocating natural remedies."The issue is Danny's right to decide how he wants to live his life," Landis said. "What if they make him take chemotherapy and he dies from that? The band will mourn with the family if that's the case, but we'll rejoice that Danny had the opportunity to test the law of the land."UPDATEJudge rules family can't refuse chemo for boyBy Amy Forliti, Associated Press WriterMINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota judge ruled Friday that a 13-year-old cancer patient must be evaluated by a doctor to determine if the boy would benefit from restarting chemotherapy over his parents' objections.In a 58-page ruling, Brown County District Judge John Rodenberg found that Daniel Hauser has been "medically neglected" by his parents, Colleen and Anthony Hauser, and was in need of child protection services.While he allowed Daniel to stay with his parents, the judge gave the Hausers until Tuesday to get an updated chest X-ray for their son and select an oncologist.If the evaluation shows the cancer had advanced to a point where chemotherapy and radiation would no longer help, the judge said, he would not order the boy to undergo treatment.However, he said, if chemotherapy is ordered and the family still refuses, Daniel will be placed in temporary custody.The judge wrote that Daniel has only a "rudimentary understanding at best of the risks and benefits of chemotherapy. ... he does not believe he is ill currently. The fact is that he is very ill currently."It was unclear how the medicine would be administered if the boy fights it. Dr. Bruce Bostrom, a pediatric oncologist at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, said last week he would have a hard time forcing Daniel to take the medicine. Bostrom said Friday his hospital has psychologists, child life specialists and other resources to help ease Daniel's fears. He also said an ethics committee would meet next week to talk about all the scenarios doctors may encounter.Daniel's court-appointed attorney, Philip Elbert, called the decision unfortunate."I feel it's a blow to families," he said. "It marginalizes the decisions that parents face every day in regard to their children's medical care. It really affirms the role that big government is better at making our decisions for us."Elbert said he hadn't spoken to his client yet. The phone line at the Hauser home in Sleepy Eye in southwestern Minnesota had a busy signal Friday. The parents' attorney had no immediate comment but planned to issue a statement.Daniel was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and stopped chemotherapy in February after a single treatment. He and his parents opted instead for "alternative medicines" based on their religious beliefs.Child protection workers accused Daniel's parents of medical neglect; but in court, his mother insisted the boy wouldn't submit to chemotherapy for religious reasons and she said she wouldn't comply if the court orders it.Doctors have said Daniel's cancer had up to a 90 percent chance of being cured with chemotherapy and radiation. Without those treatments, doctors said his chances of survival are 5 percent.Daniel's parents have been supporting what they say is their son's decision to treat the disease with nutritional supplements and other alternative treatments favored by the Nemenhah Band.The Missouri-based religious group believes in natural healing methods advocated by some American Indians.After the first chemotherapy treatment, the family said they wanted a second opinion, said Bostrom, a pediatric oncologist who recommended Daniel undergo chemotherapy and radiation.They later informed him that Daniel would not undergo any more chemotherapy. Bostrom said Daniel's tumor shrunk after the first chemotherapy session, but X-rays show it has grown since he stopped the chemotherapy."My son is not in any medical danger at this point," Colleen Hauser testified at a court hearing last week. She also testified that Daniel is a medicine man and elder in the Nemenhah Band.The family's attorney, Calvin Johnson, said Daniel made the decision himself to refuse chemotherapy, but Brown County said he did not have an understanding of what it meant to be a medicine man or an elder.Court filings also indicated Daniel has a learning disability and can't read.The Hausers have eight children. Colleen Hauser told the New Ulm Journal newspaper that the family's Catholicism and adherence to the Nemenhah Band are not in conflict, and that she has used natural remedies to treat illness.Nemenhah was founded in the 1990s by Philip Cloudpiler Landis, who said Thursday he once served four months in prison in Idaho for fraud related to advocating natural remedies.Landis said he founded the faith after facing his diagnosis of a cancer similar to Daniel Hauser.

UQ Research Finds Kava Is Safe And EffectiveUQ research has found a traditional extract of kava, a medicinal plant from the South Pacific, to be safe and effective in reducing anxiety.To be published online this week in the journal Psychopharmacology are the results of a world-first clinical trial which found that a water-soluble extract of kava was effective in treating anxiety and improving mood.The kava was prescribed in the form of tablets supplied by Queensland company MediHerb Pty Ltd.Lead researcher Jerome Sarris, a PhD candidate from UQ's School of Medicine, said the placebo-controlled study found kava to be an effective and safe treatment option for people with chronic anxiety and varying levels of depression."We've been able to show that Kava offers a natural alternative for the treatment of anxiety, and unlike some pharmaceutical options, has less risk of dependency and less potential of side effects," Mr Sarris said.Each week participants were given a clinical assessment as well as a self-rating questionnaire to measure their anxiety and depression levels.The researchers found anxiety levels decreased dramatically for participants taking five tablets of kava per day as opposed to the placebo group which took dummy pills."We also found that kava had a positive impact on reducing depression levels, something which had not been tested before," Mr Sarris said.In 2002 kava was banned in Europe, the UK and Canada due to concerns over liver toxicity.While the three-week trial raised no major health concerns regarding the kava extract used, the researchers said larger studies were required to confirm the drug's safety."When extracted in the appropriate way, kava may pose less or no potential liver problems. I hope the results will encourage governments to reconsider the ban," Mr Sarris said."Ethanol and acetone extracts, which sometimes use the incorrect parts of the kava, were being sold in Europe."That is not the traditional way of prescribing kava in the Pacific Islands."Our study used a water-soluble extract from the peeled rootstock of a medicinal cultivar of the plant, which is approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia and is currently legal in Australia for medicinal use."In addition to benefiting sufferers of anxiety, allowing the sale of kava in Europe, the UK and Canada would significantly enhance Pacific Island economies, which have lost hundreds of millions of dollars by not being able to export the plant over the past several years."SourceThe University of Queensland, Brisbane Australia
