Tyranny and iwi exposed
Aloha nō 'ohana, remember what our kūpuna taught us about our sacred rock canoe, how it carries the souls of our ancestors back and forth to I'O Lani Palace to defend our Independent Hawaiian Kingdom State for generations to come! Our kūpuna visualized, practiced and taught us about our genetic connection to our 'āina and Kukaniloko, the piko of O'ahu and all Hawai'i Loa. Their dream is defined in action, in our traditional kanaka comprehension. One example is 'ai pōhaku (rather eat rocks than betray those still to come)!
Awareness is influenced by traditions as in the instance when one culture perceives more colors than another (Hawaiian: colors of the ocean and sky; Eskimo: more shades of white and kinds of snow). Kūpuna, continue to steer our rock away from the U.S.-sponsored genocide, which is forcefully carried out by the U.S. Army and State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD), which should be called the illegal extermination division.
'Ohana, please ask the U.S. Army and the SHPD for respect and to honor our more than five ratified treaties. Yet, they go on a long holiday from the law so developers can ramp up the SHPD's and the U.S. Army's subtle genocide program to our sacred sites.
Remember, 'ohana, who we are and that our kūpuna signed the Ku'e Petition of 1897-98! We continue to object to the big He'e/fish (giant octopus), ike maka 'ohana. It uses NO-SHADOW to eat our mo'opuna, kūpuna and 'āina! Always remember, 'ohana, ike papa lua, Traditional Hawaiian Comprehension entails heredity (DNA, hardwiring of the brain, evolution of outlook, traditions and language). But what is usually fought over is traditional and linguistic superiority. Oppressive cultures (by military, economic or illegal conquest, etc.) “always” spread the myth of their priority and the inferiority of those they illegally occupy, wrongfully justifying various levels of domination all the way up to the active-sponsored genocide. But 'ohana, most modern oppressors practice more sophisticated forms of discrimination through their control of legal, educational, economical and political forces. An example is the misinformation by the American-controlled television and news media by downplaying the independent Hawaiian Kingdom State Government as an activist native Hawaiian group locking the gates (April 30, 2008) of our I'O Lani Palace (seat of our independent state) and keeping the U.S. and Linda Lingle's subtle extermination squad outside. 'Ohana, the majority of the U.S. government and its people, of course, were totally misinformed of Lingle's subtle military act. Hawaiians (international rights and analytic language) comprehend time without the linguistic and media superstructures (tenses) of inflected languages like American-English, temporarily distracting the U.S.-prolonged military occupation. But, 'ohana, even correcting misinformation does not remove the desire of the superpower (U.S. government) to stop their fascism against small independent states.
Yet it is mandated at international conventions and by U.S. federal law to protect Hawaiian traditions and its traditional properties from discrimination on one end of the spectrum to destruction on the other. Yet, 'ohana, Hawai'i as an independent state with its record of its own traditional Hawaiian comprehension is subtly exterminated, for instance, by calling “Kahuna” sorcerers, prosecuting spiritual practices and presently destroying our sacred places of worship, i.e., Kāneikapualena, U-Kāne-po, Kāne-ana, Haleauau Heiau/Ka 'anani'au and others!
Remember, 'ohana, appreciation of traditional Hawaiian comprehension and practices requires learning less oppressive and/or majority perspectives and practices. Historians have learned to distinguish between “illegal occupies history” and the often oppressed narratives of the occupied disenfranchised! Economists are aware of differences between those who understand and benefit from a system and those who are exploited by it! Political scientists analyze power structures in which a ruling class has acquired an inordinate amount of power versus those who are held in tyranny or in literal bondage! 'Ohana, many perspectives can illustrate this point of view of a “power elite” and how their view is privileged yet substandard. But 'ohana, to apply this knowledge and insight to our “Traditional Hawaiian Comprehension” requires our independent state to 'Onipa'a kākou as tutu Lili'uokalani positioned us – to seek justice!
This demonstrates why there is enormous cost for all humanity when traditional comprehension defines education systems (its world view, its way of comprehending the world, its language, literature, even oral, religion, ways of healing, human relations, etc.) and is discriminated against for “globalized corporate non-culture profiteers.” 'Ohana, our kūpuna visualized that, “Life is ka 'imi loa, the great search that involves all aspects of sensitivity, perception, intelligence and action.” Kūpuna taught us alertness, intellectual curiosity, quickness to learn, tenacious memory, family, place and pono as well as the unique stories, descriptions and even vocabularies, observation and completeness. Thus, traditional Hawaiian comprehension is comprehensive or more inclusive in its understanding. The modern “sound bite” is not our tradition!
'Ohana, remember, we are always faced with deliberate failures and lackadaisical attitudes regarding our comments and concerns, yet we kōkua and ask OHA and others to seriously fund more attorney programs for the preservation of our national treasures. 'Ohana, if you can help end this tyranny and crimes against our people and Independent Hawaiian Kingdom State, your pono kōkua will be a godsend, as are our ratified Treaties Ku'e Petition! Ike-maka-'ohana, www.HawaiianKingdom.org. Mahalo nō 'ohana and I'O lako, ua mau ke ea o ka 'āina i ka pono.
