Congratulations on your progress for an independent nation! Growing up in Hawai'i, my fondest memories came from my frequent hunting trips to Molokai and the warm feelings of friendliness I experienced there. I sincerely wish, this movement for independence restores the feeling of family and aloha '\m/' often lost for a lost people.
much love and aloha, ||

At this point I can neither endorse nor condemn the sovreignty movement, this WWW service is rather helpful. I have become very interested in the Hawai`ian language and culture, and would relish the chance to study it in more depth.

The European conquest of the colored peoples of the world is one of the greatest Evils possible for intelligent life forms. I wish your people and all indigenous peoples the best in our fight for true freedom from the powers of imperialism, racism, and greed. It is time for reconciliation and time for this U.S. Government and other oppressive governments to\ give back to the people what they so recently stole!
I was in Oahu in april of 94' at which time I learned about the movement of Native Hawaiins to gain independence from the facist white regime.
I instantly understood the cause and the need for its success by any means. I feel that if the oppressors of the world do not realize this soon these tyrants will fall including those in the U.S. I could go on forever but I must get back to work!
P.S. I would like to be kept posted on your progress. Your struggle is so common around the world! Good Journey!

I am a local girl, born and raised in Honolulu. I would like to say that I am delighted to see that the Nation is on the internet, utilizing the 90's resources. Hopefully this and other devices will better educate the world-at-large about the true ideas behind the nation, not just half-baked stereotypical ideas.

Concerned native hawaiian now living in the mainland and would like to network with other native hawaiians anywhere in the world in order to maintain our connectiveness. Have relocated here as the public schools are superior to both public and private schools in the islands. We continue our cultural practices here as well as gain fruitful academic pursuits without the constant oppressive harrassment we have endured as native hawaiians on the homelands and within the outer communities of Hawai'i. We are hopeful of continued personal growth and spiritual evolution such that we can continue to contribute more fully toward effectuating positive economic and social change for native hawaiians. Please feel free to write me as I am indeed anxious to move forward in establishing communication on current issues and more importantly finding resolve to them with all the resources now available throughout the world at our finger tips...

My mother's family lost all of its property on Hilton Head Island, SC, during the Civil War, where the Harbor Town golf course now sits. Deeds were lost when Sherman torched Beaufort. So, while I am very glad that the South lost the war and that much progess has been made racially and economically since then, when I first heard about the Hawaiian sovereignty movement my first reaction was to say to myself, "Now, where did I put that Confedereate money?"
:^) Still, while I may not agree w/ all of your goals, I think that the issues you raise are worthy of attention and some should be acted upon immediately. Cheers! Keep me in touch! -- An Hawaii lover, Mobs

Congratulations!
Being originally from Mililani, I wish to congratulate you on your recent achievements. Growing up, I remember the struggles of the native hawaiians from the Sand Island to the Eva beach squatters. I have lived on the mainland now for several years for both school and work. Living now in a small predominately hoale town, I can somewhat imagine the generations of frustrations the native hawaiians must feel from both mainlanders and residents.
I am hoping to return someday and anticipating the see the recent changes. If I may offer one suggestion, the Hawaiian people are unique; Citizenship in the new Hawaiian Nation for residents (non-hawaiian blood) should be on the line of native american citizenship in the U.S. The Nation of Hawai'i should be made for, made by, governed by the native hawaiians. Native hawaiians carry a distinct heritage which should be honored by both foreigners and residents alike.
It is my wish to be a part of your new Nation and any help or assistance from me will be given willingly.
May your Honor, Pride, and Glory
go with my Love and Aloha,
Sam

Aloha and Mahalo from one of your kindred spirits. I was last in your Nation on January 21, 1995 when the weather was a balmy 83 degrees and the trades were a blowin' All is well in California, and I await my next passage to your lovely locale.

I have been a student of Hawaii's history for some time and agree with the conclusion that the islands were seized improperly.
One has to look at the possible cosequences of that not having happened to appreciate the benifits that have been reaped.
Russia, England, Japan and other nations coveted the Hawaiian islands strategic position. Examine the economics of other islands in the Pacific and the Carribean to see what fate has spared the natives of your wonderful islands. Haiti is an example of what Hawaii could become.
I have always had the feeling that I was in a foreign country the numerous times I have visited, as far back as 1959, but with the exception that the island was clean, unlike the trash that lines the roads in the British Virgin Islands, and that the ecomomy was strong with low unemployment. But best of all that the culture of the natives had been preserved better than anywhere I had ever visited.
I apologize for the typos, I usualy depend on spellchecker. I wish you the best for Hawaii, and the people who live on those islands. Aloha

Great to find this! I especially enjoyed Lynton Dove White's tour of the canoe plants. Well done; a great use of the Web to provide information. And great to see it coming out of Hana! I was the first Kipahulu District Ranger of Haleakala National Park and lived about 3 years in Heavenly Hana. Fondest period in my life. Great people! Keep up the good work.

Don't the descendants of the missionaries own most of the land in Hawai'i? Considering what it has been worth to them, they might not give it up that easily, and considering they are protected currently under U.S. law, they might not want to risk it all by leaving the Union. I wish you all the best.

I am glad to see this WWW up. I was stationed in Hawai'i with the Navy and found your Islands the mist beautiful I had ever been to. Please send me information on your cause. All peoples should have the right to determine their destiny. I am involved with the Scottish National Party which seeks to seperate Scotland from Great Britain, so I know the felling of fighting against a majority that is also a tyranny. Good Luck in your cause!

I fully support your organization. Hawaii, and all other areas of the world, have an inalienable right to self-government and self-determination. This is one of the principles on which the United States was founded, and the US committed a horrific injustice when it denied this right to your nation. I wish you success.

Very interesting - I have never heard of your plans to free Hawaii. I visited Hawaii in 1992 & could never understand how/why the U.S. was not called to be accountable for its takeover actions.

David T. Murray
New Jersey
I've read about the Hawaiian takeover in Aloha Airlines magazines, but have seen little other information outside of that. This site provides clear position.
As (currently fellow) US citizen I wonder whether there is an acceptable "Middle Ground" to separation from US to acheive national soveriegnty. As Europe combines a common market (while fighting national battles) and America is getting together in NAFTA, and Asia is looking toward economic consolidation, would Hawaii's separation from US be risky for economic survival?
I've read how the transition from Kingdom to Territory was wrong, but I do not understand how the subsequent vote for statehood is invalid or immoral. It was held generations after the takeover. I hope to learn your views on this matter through this URL.

I grew up in Kailua, (from 6 months old through college at UH) but have since moved up here to mMaine. I've been trying to keep up on what has been happening with the soveriegnty issue, so was really glad to see the announcement of the Nation of Hawai'i web page.

Interesting stuff! I was surprised that it has received so little press coverage out here in the East. I passed the URL on to a friend in the US Virgin Islands.

White people have always considered themselves to be civilized and all other races to be savage. Like most negatively based entities they always have accused others of what they guilty of themselves.

I am so pleased to see that your efforts are done with so much true aloha, warmth, integrity, and commitment to goodness and wholesome respect for all people! The greatness, simplicity, and spirit of healthy and balanced relationship to nature which the Hawaiian culture has historically demonstrated, can all be incredibly positive influences on the whole world culture right now! I certainly hope that you folks can be a truly positive and sensitive influence in Hawaii in protecting nature, guarding what is left of the land and sea, protecting sacred forests, aenchialine ponds, streams, and other beautiful areas, from careless or thoughtless development, so that this wonder can be shared, treasured, and loved by future humans.

I like your home page. I lived and studied in Hawai'i for 5 years (at UH). I have a masters degree from the Botany Dept. and my expertise is limu. I don't know for sure but I think you have received very little national press, in fact, I didn't know much about the independence movement until I started "surfing" the net (not as much fun as surfing the south shore in summer). I would like to be updated frequently as to the current state of affairs for the new Nation of Hawai'i.

I had an opportunity to spend 6 weeks in Hawaii while my wife was on assignment in Oahu. During this time I was free to explore the culture and beauty of the various islands. From backpacking through Volcanoes National Park to doing volunteer work with the RED CROSS when INIKI struck Kauai. It was a memorable experience which I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Although, I'd often wonder what the islands would look like if still in their pristine form. Before nations ripped Her apart in the struggle to control the Pacific. Before the mega-resorts and huge land fills, before the water pollution and large cities. To be able to stand on a beautiful white sand beach and watch the humpback whales breach in the channel will take your breath away. I wish there was a way to return Hawaii to its native people and to the raw beauty it once was. I wish you the best in your endevors, may you one day see success. Mahalo for sharing your beautiful islands with my wife and I.

Having done my history thesis on the annexation of Hawaii, I have always thought the people of Hawaii--Hawaiians-- have received a very raw deal. What are the chances of true Hawaiian Independence, Hawaiian Sovereignty? Should it be put on the ballot for a referendum, or is it purely for true Hawaiians to decide? What about making sure that existing ing laws be used to treat Hawaiians fairly? I am interested in learning more about your movement.

We have become very close followers of the movement even before visiting Oahu a month ago. Mike is a photojournalist researching a possible grant to finance a documentary photography project on Hawaiian's attempts to reclaim their home.

I first learned about the sovereignty movement reading an interview with Keiko Bonk prior to the elections. At the time I was planning to buy land and spend my life surfing & windsurfing in your paradise. After learning the truth about Hawai'ian "statehood", I realized that it would be wrong for me to "own" your land. I believe that if there were more publicity on the mainland, it would be helpful to sway public opinion.( nobody that I have spoken to here has any knowledge of the truth, though the majority agree with me that you deserve soverignty once they have been educated) Good luck in the election, Aloha, Stein

Although we (us European types) stole the islands fair and square, it's way past time to give it back to the Kama aina.
I've visited the islands four times now and like it better every time, I'd like to visit it some day using my passport.

As I was planning a vacation trip to Hawai'i (Kuia'i or Moloka'i). I'm concerned about the impact that tourism has had on Hawai'i. As an activist in various union and peace & justice strugglesin the State of Washington, as well as doing grass roots organizing to develop a grassroots (as opposed to corporate) vision of what the "Info Highway" will be, I wanted to learn more about Hawai'i's struggle for sovereignty. I'd like to know what I can do as a "responsible" tourist who'd like to visit the last week of July 1995. Are there Sovereignty activists who would provide B&B-like accomodation? (At least my $$$ would be going to a better place.) Or any other suggestions you might have for a state-side traveller to Hawai'i? I'll be bringing my 13-year old daughter, who I am trying to teach respect for other cultures and self-determination. We had planned to do many day hikes What else do you suggest that I visit or involve her with during our week stay? Thanks for the tremendous effort you've done on the Nation of Hawai'i WWW pages.

I recently attended the Hawaiian sovreignty symposium at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. I was very interested in learning more about Hawai'i. I am Anishinabe (Native of mainland!) from Wisconsin originally, but I go to school here at Dartmouth. Many of my friends, including my man, are Kanaka Maoli since they are considered Native Americans at Dartmouth. I vistited my boyfriend last summer, and I loved your land. His father lives in Palolo Valley, so I visited there. He lives with his mother in Wailuku, so I stayed there. I went to Hana, and I loved it. Keep fighting for it, its worth the pain, time, and effort and it is something your children will never forget. When you get control of your land always remember that your grandparents (ancestors) did not loan you the land, you are borrowing it from your grandchildren. So clean it up and take care of it. Your people, language, and dances are beautiful and I hope you keep them all alive. Ok, ive taken up enough space here so A hui ho

This is an interesting development in the history of Hawai'i! My wife and I have considered Hawaii our spiritual home since we first visited Oahu in 1969 while I was on R & R from Viet Nam. We lived in Kailua ("Enchanted Lakes") from 1978 to 1981 and left only because the U. S. Marine Corps ordered me to North Carolina. We visit almost every year and intend to return to Hawaii to live when I finsih my doctorate. Can a Haole become part of the restored nation of Hawai'i ? or is citizenship limited to descendants of the original Hawaiian people?

I was very interested to find this. I lived on Maui for 12 years and grew up loving the islands. What has been done to the islands in support of the tourism industry horrifies me everytime i return to visit my family in the islands. It is my hope that maybe someday sovereingty will be restored and some rectification of the islands will be able to happen.

I need point of contact on how to order music. Would also like to get instructional books on how to play slack key. I've been into Hawaiian music after leaving the islands.

Enjoyed the Page/presentation - I think I like the general theme of your movement, but I need more information in order to form a better understanding. In any event, I usually support ALL movements that seek to provide more self-determination and thereby more empowerment for any group of people. I'm careful though to first learn who is behind it, and to make sure that their motives are the same as the organizations.

More people need to know about these important issues, I'm glad to see your organization here.

How do you plan to reconcile "secession" (US Constitutional point of view) with your claim to "restoration" of illegal annexation? Are you assuming a restoration by the US Senate (as arbiters of treaties) or some other constitutional means? I am sympathetic to your stand but am still unsure by what means you can disengage from statehood. And of course I'm sure everyone recognizes the potential for all American indigenous peoples.

I lived in Hawaii for 4 1/2 years. I'm interested in how you would hope to run Hawai'i by Hawai'ians when they are few and far between these days. Would you base it on blood or state-residency or being born in the Islands or some similar criteria?
I would also be interested in your version of how and why Hawai'i came to be a protectorate and a state of the U.S., i.e. the behind the scenes machinations, the politics, etc. Good luck with your endeavors.

First, having read a brief (~20 pages) overview of the history of the Islands before visiting Kauai in May, and having perused your web-page (after it was forwarded to me by an acquaintence from Hawaii), I have to say I am apalled by the social and economic injustice done to your culture. What was done was clearly wrong, clearly illegal, and I have to agree that something should be done about it.
The maid of honor at my upcoming marital ceremony is thrilled that there is a large Hawaii-Nation movement. I am not convinced, however, that forming a new nation is either an appropriate response in the face of a concilliatory federal government or a wise endeavor given the current social and economic conditions of both the Hawaiian Islands and the world at large.
It is true that, given a pre-existent movement, now is the time to prepare for victory. But victory cannot be the end of vigilance, and for your present circumstance it has hardly begun.
Let me step back.
There has always been a strong independent spirit in Americans -- Hawaiian or not, and there is a long standing tradition of an unquiet truce between the states and the federal government.
We are seeing, now -- as the Cold War mentality recedes, the issue of state sovereignty regain center stage. New- age Republicanism notwithstanding, "block grants" and the elimination of department after department from the federal government herald a transition of power away from the federal government that has prevented you from pursuing your own sovereignty.
That's the good news. The bad news is what kinds of things are likely to replace it. Anyone who watched the eighties saw the transformation from the political centered US-Russian conflict to the economic centered US-Japan conflict. In an absence of power, the beast that threatens to rear its ugly behind is the very beast that threatened Hawaii in the first place -- economic colonization and mercantilism!
I would urge you to consider what the future of Hawaii's economy is likely to be given the sorts of big business interests that are gaining in importance. I fear a repeat of the disaster that brought us to this point in the first place.
Additionally, it has been argued by historians that one of the most important reasons for the success of the American Revolution was the participation of our forefathers in self-rule prior to King George III. By becoming a leader in one of the most divisive issues of the future of Hawaii, by leading a path away from dependence (as you state in your policy documents) and towards economic independence (in otherwords, frankly, by becoming more pro-active and taking those ideas off paper and implementing them), you learn to be the leaders you will have to be -- whether there exists a free, recognized Hawaiian Nation in your lifetimes or not.
As an isolated set of Islands with both limited resources and a self-limit on your utilization thereof (for which this country boy approves) your biggest challenge will be the maintenance of a healthy economy in a world where over-utilization threatens so many other nations. Regardless of your characterization of domination, exploitation and exhaustion as "Western", it is Island-Nations such as Taiwan (from whence my fiancee' hails) that are currently suffering devastating environmental collapse.
I know you view this as seriously as I do given that two of your three statements deal with the issue. Still, I find so much more cogent thought on the rightness of political independence that I fear that economic independence might take second fiddle. The characterization that political independence is the first step to economic independence is troublesome at best -- first, because political independence is not a prerequisite to either leadership or the formation of economic policy, and second because political independence is statistically more likely to bring economic dependence than not.
I urge you to consider these issues as I wish you to succeed probably just as much as you do. We both want a Hawaii that retains its nature of a paradise. When I visit Kauai next, were you to give me permission so to do, I would like to hike the trails of the Na Pali without the "Aloha" of the regional helicopter fleet circling overhead.
Yours in Respect
-Dave

I am proud to be able to show everyone in my MBA class that the nation is on the web.
I graduated from Punahou in 1991 and grad from Brown in 95. I participated in the soverignity colloquim at Yale this spring I would like to congratulate everyone involved for waking up the minds of the local kids going to school on the mainland.

I'm Portuguese/Spanish born in Kailua in 1957 on the Island of Oahu in the Territory of Hawaii. I've travelled all over the world in the Air Force and the saying still holds true...Hawaii No Ka Oi! I was glad to see this about our land. I have 4 children, Pocho/Spanish/Chinese/Hawaiian, and I know that they will benefit from this. Keep up the good work. Is there any clipart from Hawaii anywhere on the internet? Aloha

Being of Hawaiian descent, and just as early as 10 years ago finding my family in Hawaii after year's of wondering I thought I'd look into this part of the WWW/Internet and see what information is available. I'm just learning how to access and use WWW. I'm finding it a great way to learn about the islands, culture, etc. My Hawaiian family has come to visit me every year since I've found them and they will be in this Thursday (6/28/95) for another visit. It's always good to see them and they always bring a little bit of Hawaii home to me and my family. Aloha!

Very interesting! I am interested in learning more of the movement of Hawaiian to declare their independence. Personally, I am ambivalent about the prospect. Although I recognize the right of the native population to assert their independence I believe that this movement is partially rooted in a desire to return to some of the cultural roots formerly enjoyed. This, I fear, might result in the exclusion of non-natives from some or many of the rights now enjoyed due to American statehood. I have thoroughly enjoyed your site and wish you continued success on the net.

I really didn't get a change to read everything, but as a person with a deep interest in history and the rights of indigenous peoples, I thought this presentation was very insightful. It was also very thoughtful inasmuch as the local PBS station recently rebroadcast "Riders of the Wind" about the travels and history of Polynesia/Polynesians and the peoples of Tahiti, Hawaii, New Zealand, etc.

God placed such a love and respect in our hearts for the Hawaiian peoples while we were privileged to live on the lovely island of Oahu; owning our home in Makakilo (for almost 10 yrs.). You are a majestic, warm, and loving people who have stolen our hearts. It is our prayer that as our Heavenly Father leads you will one day be a strong and beautiful Hawaiian Nation once again.

I wasn't aware of the attempt to establish an independent Nation of Hawai'i until about a week ago. I am surprised that it has not received more attention. I am very happy to see that things are going well. Good Luck in your efforts!
P.S.- Your WWW site is very well constructed.

Just visting again. Already on your email list. Just received your most recent two mailings.
When I visited your page before, I was using lynx, and so could not see the beautiful artwork and pictures. Your page is beautiful, you certainly deserve your rating. I feel it is the best I have seen.
Again, good luck on your movement. I can't imagine not having Hawai'i as part of the United States (I was born in 1951, and can only barely remember having only 48 states. I am aware, though, that the US treated many people unfiarly, or even savagely. There are many people here who worry about the growing power of the federal government. So I wish you well in your path you have chosen, and hope to visit someday whether or not you are a state or independant nation at that time.

I am an ardent monarchist and commend the efforts of the Nation of Hawaii to restore what has been unjustly taken from them. It is my hope that the Nation of Hawaii does not forsake the continuity with its past monarchs. Modern constitutional monarchy provides a stability unavailable in a republican form of goverment.

I met one of your members at a lookout on Oahu, manning a T-shirt stand. I bought the tye-die with the declaration of independence printed on the front, and everyone who asks about it is *very* surprised to hear the story of the US takeover. Best of luck to all of you -- and let the fellow from the stand (I forgot his name:)) know that the guy in the tie-dyed headband really enjoyed talking to him (it was about a week ago).

As a frequent visitor to Hawaii to escape Minnesota winters, I have developed a fondness for the people, especially the native people. I have been suprised at their warmth and hospitality with such a past of having their hospitality and generousity abused by sailors, whalers and missionaries. I was startled by your story - and completely unaware of it. I wish I could say I was suprised about its contents, but see it as just another chapter of such dealings with native Hawaiian people. I have no idea how to put a broken egg back together, and will visit your home page periodically to see what you are suggesting. There is far to little kindness and gentility in people's hearts today... and I hope the Hawaiian people can maintain this rare trait while pushing for recognition of their legitimate demands.

I speak Tahitian, Tongan. I translate Tuamotuan poetry and legends into English. I am also a storyteller, that is, I recount Polynesian legends and history in classrooms and on the radio. Polynesian culture is something that interests me a great deal. This month (July 1995) is the 400th anniversary of the first arrival of Europeans in Polynesia which also coincides with the massacre of 200 people in the Marquesas Islands.

I am very interested in the Hawaii nationalization movement. When did it "begin" on a serious level (recently that is)? (I know the "proper" story of the revolution and acquisition.) In fact I am using the success of this movement as the basis for a short for one of my classes which leads to the secession of the northwest states.
Look forward to hearing from you!

For my BA thesis, I intend to investigate Hawaiian sovereignty and pertinent policy implications for the U.S. Federal gov't, the State of Hawaii, and the new sovereign state/nation/country. I will be going back home from Sept. 10-29th and will begin my real research then (although I'm starting my preliminary scanning now). The information on your pages and those of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs are helping me to try to find a focus and get an overview of the whole situation while I'm in Chicago. (We only have 1991 Congressional Hearings and reports here.) Mahalo for putting these pages up!! They're very informative.

I have always been intrigued by the Hawaiian Islands. My ancestors originated from the Philippines, but the roots of my family are from Kauai. My grandfather had 2 sisters and 4 brothers. At present, my family consists of: 9 uncles, 5 aunts, 40 cousins and of the 40 cousins spawned 15 children. I would love the opportunity to be a part of the movement to restore the Hawaiian Sovereignty.

Steven E. Woolley

I believe that the kind of sovereignty described here would be a tragic error failing to redress the injustices of the past while exacerbating the likelihood of new injustices. Nationalism is an ideal that begets a violence that cannot be tamed.Consider Bosnia. Yet it seems to me there is a sovereignty that is desireable. I hope that you will discover what that may be.

Aloha - unfamiliar w/ politics - have not had chance to study 'both sides of the coin' but to this Haole, it sounds like business as usual for the Fed. Gov't. Have heard Kam. Day is getting scrapped - very ominous to me. Am wondering how prevalent Sovereignity Movement is, and worry for family & friends in Hawai'i, both Kama'aina and Haole. Do admit my interest in Hawai'i is cultural (as a teacher and student) but still am concerned and wonder if all the ramifications (business, defense, economic, etc) have been studied. Still, my aloha and prayers to all, that this may be resolved peacefully and with dignity. My aloha to all - Peg 'Hewahinemeauluwehiwehi' Hain PS - keep up the good work w/ this info - it's important!

I've been following Hawaii Nation efforts.
I grew up on Oahu going to local churches and local schools. Most of my friends could speak Hawaiian -- they had to since they were being raised by grandparents who spoke Hawaiian. I went home with friends. Today I realize that I am what I am because of Hawaii.
I was back after 20 years and saw terrible things downtown Honolulu looks like anywhere big city. Molokai is still wonderful -- reminds me of the old area from Ewa to Makaha.
You are doing something right because your leaders are under attack. Look what happened to AIM and Wounded Knee. And these "natives" signed pieces of paper with the US gov. [I'm part Native American -- so I watch the mistreatment of locals here.]
Good Luck -- I try to educate one person a time about Hawaii Nation.

Though I am not Hawaiian by birth or ancestry, I do believe that your goals are very just. I have visited Hawai'i several times, done the "tourist things", and, most of all, tried to experience and learn about the real Hawai'i. Every time I have visited I have become more and more dismayed at what big money and the politicians have done and are wanting to do to Hawai'i. I have also been encouraged more and more by finding that the Hawaiian people are becoming stronger and stronger and making definate progress to counter those ruinious attempts. In the spirit of ohana, I am with you!

Aloha,
I think I have a T-Shirt from Nation of Hawaii. I bought it at Koko Head on my last visit Home.
I've lived in Minnesota since 1958 after leaving Hawaii for the Marine Corps in January 1954. I come Home to Hawaii to about twice each year to visit my Mother in Kaneohe and to do a little business.
I have been trying to get a news letter from Hawaii to try to keep up on what's happening. OHA refused to send to me because they "no nuf kala". Strange yea! Even after I hosted a show for them with 50 Minnesotans From Hawaii. I also went to a meeting for Ka Lahui Hawaii at the Queen Liliuokalani Center. Still no news letter. Hope you can help.
Me and my children (3 adults) would like to know how we can register to vote in January '96? That's four more votes for the good guys.
I don't know where the other Hawaiian's stand on the questions, because I cannot talk about it with so little information. Do you have a news letter? Some back issues too?
Mahalo.... Ben Ho
P.S: My paternal Grandmother Annie Keonaoa Kaihee was married to George Lim Ho the lived in Waimanalo. Their son James Ah You Ho (known as Pappy) is buried in Kaneohe. My maternal G G Grandmother Maka-O-Kukona from Kona was married to John James Porter. Their daughter Emily was married to John Stupplebeen from Kona. Their daughter Emily Kanaloa married Manual Silva. Their daughter, my mother, Emily Leimaile Silva (known as Honey) still lives in Kaneohe.

I am one of many descendants of Henry Adams Beers (1833-81) and Kalanialii KamaKauahoa Beers (1848-1922). These are my great, great, great grandparents. Kalanialii was a descendant of some chief of Molokai.
Being a very diluted mixed breed, I can still sympathize with the nation-state effort. However, realistically, it will buy nothing. The damage is already done. The land is gone. The Japanese and the Bishops own nearly everything and unless the nation-state "nation-statalizes" everything the foriegners own, nothing will change. And if the nation state did to that, the ramafications would be devastating to the islands' economy. But who knows, in the end, the termites may have everything.

We lived on O'ahu for seven wonderful years, and I miss it dearly. I am not Hawaiian by blood, but I certainly am at heart. I support Hawaiian sovereignty. No where else on earth can you find the kind of benevolent social, educational, and welfare legacies instituted by the members of the Hawaiian royal family. Their incredibly wise and generous gifts of trusts have helped those who aren't even Hawaiian through The Queen's Medical Center, Queen Emma Clinic, Kamehameha Schools, just to name a few. My very best wishes in your efforts to make the Nation of Hawai'i once more a reality! :)

While I'm a loyal American, I completely agree with your ogranization and goals. The people of Hawai'i (is that correct) were robbed and treated terribly.

Interested in these pages because my fiancee (Helen Dumag) is from Molokai. Our plan is to move back a few years after we graduate from OSU. As I am haole, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the culture, history, etc as possible (without too much work) I did visit once in September of 1994. We stayed with Helen's hanai dad, Moke Kim. Mainly, we helped him string fence on his new farm. We also helped Uncle Kile (sp?) (I'm da Irish haole) with his new fence. And helped Uncle Henry castrate bulls for 4H. It was one of the best vacations I have ever had.

Knowing that those involved with Nation of Hawai'i are fighting for the power that is their right, gives hope whenever people seek to take control and participation in the decisions which affect their lives and the lives of their families and communities. The issues may vary, but the underlying process of individual people, groups and communities taking power are the same.
Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.

This is one of the best Web pages I've come across for information/research value. I've been struggling to find good resources for a poli-sci paper on the Hawaiian nationalist movement, and this is like hitting the goldmine.
There's not much awareness of this story on the East Coast. Try getting some coverage out of the New York Times or the Washington Post.

We must educate the ignorant American masses of the facts behind the takeover of Hawaii by the USA and convince them it is not too late to change the process.
The statehood vote and status is invalid based on the takeover of the Republic of Hawaii and background of the Territorial Government.

I'm 1/4 Hawaiian, family has homestead on Maui
Del Mar, California, in San Diego
I'm very interested in staying current with the restoration of Hawaiian independence. My Grandmother on my father's side was full blooded Hawaiian. She died in 1991 at home in her homestead on the island of Maui. My father was raised in Hana at Wainapanapa. His father was the reverend of the congregational church there. My granparents were the Rev. Herbert and Annie Brewster. I may not get the breakdown of syllables correct but my grandmother's name was: Annie Koho'opahele Kailipuahilo Aikau Kalani nui Aimoko Brewster. I have two daughters who are very proud of their heritage and we would like information on any organizations near us that would enable us to learn more about our heritage and learn the language. My Grandmother spoke, and many of my cousins speak the language. My grandmother was one of two women who fought and succeeded in getting the Bible back in print in the Hawaiian language back in the 1960's. We are all very proud of the life she led. Please respond, I am anxious to hear from someone. My father is here on the mainland, he is closely watching the developments regarding Hawaiian independence and I will share all information with my family here. Aloha!

Good luck to your independence efforts. Particularly in restoring and preserving the Polynesian culture. I've never been to Hawaii, but as a non-Polynesian, I think only non-Polynesians should be able to own real estate there. I, myself, am starting to get involved in my European heritage and become proud of my ancestry and western culture. I fear the trend is for my heritage to disappear. Some of my fellow European-Americans hope for a separate Eurpean-American society. I know it sounds scary to some people that races want to be separate, but I believe we will see more examples of balkanization throughout the world and even in North America. I have given up rock music and returned back to the greatest works of my culture - Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Rossini, Strauss, opera music. I challenge other European-Americans to do the same and rediscover the beautiful works from the Age of Reason and great scientific discovery instead of the self-destructive, violent, sexist rap music. Maybe our world will be a more peaceful place if we can get along separately!
Good luck Hawaiians!

Aloha. Having moved to the mainland just 6 months ago, I am so happy to have found a web site to keep me informed about what's going on at home. While living in Hawai'i, I never really kept up with the sovereignty movement. I've been reading a lot of information here on the web about the three models and am still unsure how I feel about sovereignty. I strongly support the revitalization of the language and culture. I agree that the land was wrongfully taken away. However, how willing are Hawaiians as a group to work together toward the goal of sovereignty? If Hawaiians vote for one model, how will the leaders of the other sovereignty groups accept that? If sovereignty is granted, how will that affect those who aren't Hawaiian? How will Hawai'i's economy, so dependent on tourism, be affected? I truly believe that for our people to overcome many of the obstacles that face us, we must become educated. Learning our language and culture is highly important, but we must also face this: a haole education is important too. I hope that this web site will be a means that people around the U.S. and the rest of the world will learn about Hawai'i. I've been asked some really odd questions about Hawai'i, and hopefully this web site will educate others. There's a lot more I could say.......maybe next time. Until then, malama pono and a hui hou.
