What are you waiting for Mayor Carvalho, waiting till the last minute is so totally wrong. Your constituency (na po'e o Kaua'i) have spoken on Kaua'i County Council Bill 2491. If you are waiting this long to make a decision it is obvious who you are going to side with. Your own Council voted 6 to 1. YOU WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED on your run for re-election, you are counting on saving 600 workers for these bio-tech companies while killing the future 6000 plus future population by allowing this bill to be passed. Send them over to Falko Partners, I am sure the Luxury Housing Subdivision being built on Ag land will have job opportunities for many of them.
What is Hawaiian? For me in particular I’ve learned that Hawaiian is more than just a language, it’s a way of life, its history, culture, heritage, and traditions that were passed down from generation to generation. Being in the Hawaiian Immersion Program all my life, and leaving at age 16, I felt a strong pull towards all things Hawaiian. In Immersion we were immersed in everything Hawaiian, speaking it at all times while in class and practicing it when we could. Makahiki was my favorite time of year, playing the traditional games that were played in ancient Hawaii, doing oli’s, and dancing hula, they were the things that stuck with me most. Then when I left the Hawaiian Immersion Program I lost sight of what being Hawaiian was all about. I struggled the first year when I noticed that being Hawaiian and knowing Hawaiian was no longer the main role that was being played in my life, so I tried to reconnect with the one thing that I’ve known all my life, which was Hawaiian. They American society may play a huge role in our life styles today, and they may have labeled our people and our traditions as savaged, but we as Hawaiians know who and what we are, we are a people who have been oppressed, a people who have given freely and have gotten nothing in return. So why does it matter? I would say that it matter because Hawaiian should be something very important to those who are Hawaiian. We need to know where we came from, because without that, what type of future do we have?

In 1843 Hawaii was recognized by the United Nations as an Independant state. The Hawaiian Kingdom was the first non- european nation to be Inducted in this " Family of Nations,". According to International "Laws", no nation may force thier supperiority on another nation, whether they were big or small, all nations were considered equal and can never be over taken by another nation without thier consent, which the United States government did with Military force. In 1854 Hawaii became known as a nuetral nation, one of peace and frienship with not only other nations but of peoples, in my opinion, the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the imprisonment of our Queen Liliuokalani by force with the help of the United States of america military "force" is clearly an ' Act of War" on a soveriegn Nation.
Kaua’i is on it! Maika’i loa! it only took a 14 hour discussion and many months of protests and hard work for na po’e o Kaua’i. So, in 9 months Bill 2491 will take effect to require disclosure of pesticides and GMOs by large agri-businesses. With an implementation of buffer zones near schools, dwellings, medical facilities, public roadways and waterways.
Now this should help all our islands especially Moloka’i and Lana’i because it is such a great milestone. One step closer, and then GMO labeling all over the world, Hawaiian Immersion in every public school, Reparation for the De-Occupation of Hawai’i, ousting of the University of Hawai’i and OHA as land managers of our sacred mauna, and lets hope the Military presence in Hawai’i be in compliance and plan an action to leave our 'aina.
UH manoa administration is at it again..FEAR in not letting us kanaka maoli express our Mana'o about the HEWA dat dey doing.. where is the academic freedom? why do we come to college learn what they have taught and express our learning experiences down for the public to be educated on.. look at the HISTORY of what UH has done..UH have desecrated our lands by digging up the biggest burial site in Hawaii at Mokapu, or Kaneohe base.. UH hand in hand with MONSATO to create AGENT ORANGE in the use for chemicle war fare in vietnam and other areas of the world and they are continueing to help destroy our Honua!..UH has over developed and whored our our Mountains like Mauna Awakea and Haleakala in quote from Craig Foltz from national science commitee when Asked "How would all these telescopes benefit the people of Hawaii and the world"? ( NO REASON JUST PURE SELFISH SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH).. recently a Maui girl drew her mana'o on a student board for all students to use at UH which stated:UH cannot be a Hawaiian place of LEARNING, while leading the Desecration of Mauna Awakea..Hey UH..be accountable, be a Hawaiian place of learning stand with the people, stop the Desecration of the thirty meter Telescope..!! this statement was erased.. and staff members told the wahine she cannot write dat..WTF wea da fk u button @!!!POWER, PREVILDGE<and PREJUDICE or bottom line Racism played a big part in this UH..Mahalo UH fo teaching us da real HISTORY LESSONS..!
Dr. Martin Luther King was a brilliant man, champion of the down trodden not only of African Americans, but all minorities and peoples around the world. His teachings was one of solidarity and that all peoples are created equal. The myth of Europian supiriority was one of voilence and bloodshed, of dominating peoples of diffrent nations and ethnicticities and forcing unto them thier version of a beter society, that is for them. The mindset that they were superior to all nationalities cause these peoples to believe in the myth that the white man was superior to all nations, reinforcing that myth by bloodshed and doctrinations to undermind native cultures. This was ingrained in these cultures from generation to generation until it was the only world they knew. In my opinion like us " kanakas" only now we are grasphing the concept that all humans are equal and no one race is beter than the other, especially the white man ( European and later thier desendants ) who held power over other peoples with voilance and laws that better not all peoples but the privalege, Them.
a Plan to propose transition of Pa'ia elementary school into an entirely Hawaiian speaking, immersion site. the first meeting was hosted by Na Leo pulama and Na Leo Kako'o o Maui ..meeting organizers say that as interest in Hawaiian Immersion education continues to grow, "the need for an entirely immersion school has become apparent"...bottom-line we going need a bigger school to fit future Hawaiian Language speakers..and Pa"ia English speaking students will be surpassed, but we not trying to kick them or anybody out of the school..Pa'ia school in general is the Host school for our Hawaiian immersion program..oventually immersion will be full over capacity and we cannot have a threat of LOTTERY for our kids future..i for one do not like gambling with my kids education like that.. I know the English speaking schools do not have a lottery for their students ..so why Hawaiian schools or programs have that??
capitalism at its finest: lets take a good look at the old money and how it was made:
The Vanderbilts..carnegies..Gettys..Morgans..Hursts..Rockafellas how do you think they got all that money?...they just annexed territorie and licenses and businesses and KILLED Native population..imported slaves and sold guns to both the north and the south during the civil war and control politician...and They're the AMERICAN HEROS....!
"... So far all the court's indictments have been against Africans ..."
He Hawai'i au mau a mau! I am Hawai'i now and forever! that is the answer I give everyone when posed with the question ? Are you Hawaiian? actually I am a quarter Chinese and some english or scots on the side from my Mom and my dad was Hawaiian. My ethnicity would be that I am a Native Hawaiian indigenous and endemic to these Islands. how do I know this is because I know my genealogy and in our kumulipo it states that I came literally from the sea. so in my beliefs I do believe that I am Hawai'i,Maui,Moloka'i,Lana'i,Kaho'olawe,Molokini, Oahu, Kaua'i,ni'ihau,Lehua...ect! so forth. it would be interesting to me to find out about my kungkung or Chinese great-grandfather was from and his people(family siblings) I know that he came from Konloow, china. came to Hawai'i as a young man met my Tutuwahine kaleiopio who changed him into a Hawaiian, by teaching him her ways he adapted to where he learned the language and how to work the aina land (lo'i kalo) but still he held on to Chinese beliefs in which he grew Poppy to make opium, because Awa was to weak..;) so being that I think my pake and haole grand parents would become Hawaiian nationals because they have married into the Aboriginals or original Natives of the land. so in my mind eye and maybe in Dr.Youngs eye that they are Hawaiian by injection in terms of marriage. My nation is Hawai'i I am from this Islands, so this would be my Nationality, I think anybody that is born here in these islands should be called Hawaiian. when inmates go to the Americas they are labeled as Hawaiians, or Hawaii in-mate.. no matter if they are Caucasians, Asian, black, tongan,Samoan..etc. you transported from Hawaii you are Hawaiian- in mate number474-6288-0031. so if they label that in the government judicial system. then I know I am Hawaiian. President Barrack Obama is defiantly from Hawaii. he was born and raised here and his half sister is Hawaiian so he is guaranteed Hawaiian in my book and in Dr. young's. Obama is Hawaiian because he shows some sense of Aloha even when he fucking everything up in trying to get the united states country back in order.plenty people would disagree with me but that's their mana'o this is mine.
The National Science Organization aka, NSO has been pushing to build another telescope on top of Maunakea. Nine of the 13 telescopes that are present, are not being used at all. This telescope is looking to be 8 stories tall. How do you feel about this situation? We already are building another telescope on top of Haleakalā as of right now, that will be 14 stories high. How much more of these telescopes do we need?
The city and county of Honolulu are trying to pass a development of constructing anew prison. What is you take on this? People in Kailua are appalled by this and are saying that this will only increase the crime rate. Hereʻs the link to the story:
