Aloha Donna, finally able to drop in. Just came from hearing Dayne Aleka Aipoalani Gonsalves speaking on what great works he has done so far and saying how he was viewed as an aliinui. The works are indeed what others have not been able to do but the sitting on the throne must still require koko! I am grateful to those who went ahead of me as it makes it easier for me to emerge. Ke Akua showed me the path I must take and the manao I have yet to do as the great granddaughter of Kalanikauikeauoli, Liholiho n their papa, Kamehameha the Great. By blood, this includes every king who ruled, kahunas and priestly line of the ages and the great grand niece of King George V, VI,n 8th. I know there are some battles that I cannot avoid but I know Ke Akua has always heard my prayers and with his help, Hawaii will sit with the two most powerful countries today, no more "poho". My papa was and is the only commoner in my tree. I am finally done with my mokuauhau. Just as Kamehameha wished, I am the lehua of the kumulipo, kings, kahunas and priestly line of the ages and I was spoken of in Kamaukau's unrevised book "The Ruling Chiefs and my great grandpa Keliinohokula had a sister by the name of KAUAKAHIKUAANAAUKANE. This is the starting year when everything I merely dreamed of comes to be. The Supreme Court asked oha if they were descendents of Kamehameha I and even Dayne. He thinks all are but this claim is before heaven and the only one who can answer them is me. The kanaka priests spoke of my coming. I have fulfilled what they prohesied and much hardship has come on me since I returned home in 2004. But now that I have met all I was meant to meet, I know soon I will ascend, true it is not on my time but ke Akua IO. The day of my battle was the day I was born. My mama protected me. After she passed, heaven took care of me until now. I share my love for my country with all, who, after I left home, took up the fight to be heard. My battles were thought to be childish because I wanted to know why I must sing America the Beautiful instead of Hawaii Ponoi. But now I am seeing the whole picture. I was teased too. It can be overwhelming for someone small. Will chat later. A hui hou.

How lovely...ALoha and thank you for the add...I heard of the Kauahi's but not too familiar...I do live near the Holts in the hawaiian homesteads...Is that the same Ohana??
Hi donna I can't tell if we are talking on chat or not I am posting but I do not see any other return. Did I need to do something else. can you get on the chat? kaohi
Nice to hear from you. Yeah, that's Michele DeVera Pimentel. I don't use any of the websites like Facebook, etc., either. What are you up to these days? I know you are a very talented artist. Do you have your own business? I am now a housewife. My husband (2nd) works and said I don't have to work. He feels I do so much just taking care of our home and all that goes with that. He said he knows your brother Robbie. My husband is usually known by his nickname "Kappy". We live in Haiku, Maui. I keep busy doing many things I love, like sewing, quilting, drawing, designing. Of course, I always look forward to seeing and/or talking story with all our classmates. Hope to hear from you again whenever you have time. Till then,
E Donna, plenty to do these days! I took a class on Hawaiian Issues about 2 years ago and I have been and anti-Akaka Bill advocate since. My kumu was really smooth...he came from Hawaiian History, with the facts and a good way to decipher truth from fabrication...I'm even thinking of going back to teach (after all these years). So, it's okay if we keep in touch every once in a while....dat means we busy! Aloha, Michele
Mahalo nui for your friendship Donna...and yes I need to keep myself in check as well and continually seek out truth. I am also working on getting off of the "fence," be decisive and take a stand. As it is, my family feel my ideas and what I have learned from Haunani Trask, Amelia, you, are too extreme.
The longer we wala'au the more connections we find....so typical. Aunty PeeWee is my father's older sister and one of my favorite. She lives on homestead land in Anahola. My Dad was my favorite Kahu and beloved by many (I am biased obviously). Yes Nainoa and I are distant cousins. My oldest daughter married an Alo, whose Dad is Simeon, a classmate of yours I believe. Class of 69? He is a decendant of the Hewahewa line as well. My son, resides in Waimanalo with his girlfriend who is a Mahoe. Are the Namahoe's related to the Mahoe's? In his youth my father ran around with the Mahoe's from Kalapawai. Use to fish together around na moku lua. My grandpa Hopkins formed the Mokulua fishing club with his buddies and camped many nights there fishing for ulua.
Hey sista, no worry about the color of your skin...I am fair too but my na'au is kanaka all the way. No matta da amount of koko...
Mahalo for the offer of kokua but really no need. I will see what I can do. One of the few downsides to living on Kauai is to be removed from the center of the movement. Expending money to travel to O'ahu is one of the sacrifices one must make to affect change.
My sister's first husband was Jimmy Bruhn and his oldest sister Bootsy is married to Kula Kauwe. A younger sister is married to Ken Kauka of Waimanalo. I only know Joe Perry. He's a cousin from our Hewahewa side/Namahoe/Keaweaheulu.
That must mean that you are related to Nainoa as his mom is a Lucas. She was a good friend of my Mom's as well as Pinky was her classmate...I think. That I'm not sure.
Do come...and you have no idea how much I loved your site...
malama pono...
Donna
I forgot to answer the question about if I know the Bruhns, Perry's, Kauwe's...I have heard of the Kauwe family of Waimanalo and I went to school with a Ronald Perry (KHS'73). My 'ohana was Lucas and Awai. My Dad at one time was the Episcopal minister at St. Matthew's and we became 'ohana with many of the members there.
Regarding my computer skills, luckily my children help with with that. Going back to school at the age of 46 forced the issue and I had to learn. I am glad that MW page provided some pleasure for you.
I have been reading your blog posts for awhile now and find them very informative, intelligent and full of mana from your na'au. It is a pleasure to add you as a friend. Want so much to fly over for the La Ho'i Ho'i Ea festivities but kala is an obstacle. Just came back from my one hanau this past Monday. My nephew had his wedding reception so my husband, daughter and I flew down. Spent a wonderful weekend with my 'ohana, but it is always good to come home to the quiet peacefulness that is Kaua'i. O'ahu has become so manic since I moved to Kaua'i permanently in 1981. Even the Kailua that I grew up in has changed so dramatically. My birth surname is Hopkins, as in Charles Gordon Hopkins, who was an englishman who arrived in the islands in 1845. He became closely affiliated with Kauikeaouli and Kamehameha IV and V. I inherited his liberal nature and rebellious soul. He was very much anti-missionary and editiorialized his support in the Polynesian (the government newspaper) for kanaka healthcare at a time when our people were dropping dead like flies. He formed a poolua relationship with a Hawaiian couple, the beginning of our Hopkins line in Hawaii. My great-great grandfather (his son), was a Royalist, a Marshall under Kalakaua's reign. His wife, Abigail Kamaka Aiwohi from North Kohala, signed the Ku'e petitions along with other members of my 'ohana. It is in my blood to resist the U.S. takeover of the Hawaiian Kingdom and so I live that kuleana today.
My first husband was related to the Holt's and so I know some of them. His last name was Waiamau. The Holt's I know carry the Curnan name, their mother, Aunty Kealoha was a Holt. I believe they are also related to the Kauahi's here. I knew Ronnie Holt (now deceased) and a Norman Holt.
I am by no means an expert in 'olelo Hawaii but I try to use it the best I can. I recently returned to UHM to get my degree in Hawaiian Studies and was required to take 3 years of the language. It continues to be a work in progress for me as my generation (born in 1955) was deprived of growing up with it in the home. My tutu spoke fluent Hawaiian in the home but was sent to Kamehameha at the age of 13 and forbidden to use it. Her mother and tutu died at that same time so she lost her fluency over the years. Learning 'olelo in an academic setting is quite different and difficult for someone in their 50's, but I keep trying.
My grandmother Helen Kalei Hopkins played the ukulele and sang Hawaiian mele, danced the hula with other kupuna. I learned hula from the Beamer family, my Aunty Myrtle Beamer and Aunty Tita Solomon. Later in life I studied under Aunty Maiki Aiu Lake. I grew up listening to the old style Hawaiian music...thats what my grandparents and parents sang and listened to when I was a child and that is what was played at all the family gatherings. I have a soft spot for the music as it conjures up many sweet memories of my kupuna who have passed.
Lastly I must say I admire the strong stance your father took and he is why you are what you are today. You are continuing his legacy of resistance and bravo to you. I am still thinking of flying down for the day tomorrow so maybe I will see you there. Nice meeting you here at Maoli World. Aloha no.
