Sonny Kaniho Passing
I'm late on posting this, but Sonny Kaniho passed
away August 14. As Ian Lind writesSonny Kaniho was one of the giants in the modern Hawaiian rights movement who gained fame by quietly, and then not-so-quietly, protesting the failures of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to make land available to Native Hawaiians.
Ian
has some great old photos of Kaniho's 1974 Hawaiian Homelands protest
and trial.
