Free Speech Radio News airing today about the arrests of Marie Beltran and John
Keawemauhili in Mokuleia. She was there to actually capture the arrests on

HAWAIIANS LOSING THEIR LAND
(3:00)During the past two
weeks Honolulu Police have been sweeping hundreds of homeless people from the
beach parks and roadsides of Oahu. In Mokule'ia on the North Shore, clearing the
homeless is due, in part, to the military's plans to station a Stryker Brigade
in Hawai'i. Last week, a Hawaiian family of four who has been homeless for 15
years and defiant in the face of state pressure to assimilate and live in public
housing, was arrested. As Anne Keala Kelly reports, the issue of
Hawaiian homelessness is more about freedom for Hawaiians than it is about
homes.
