Aloha ‘Oe Uncle Kekuni (from KITV)…
Here’s a tribute from the University of Hawaii News. And here’s the Star-Advertiser article.
From the Star-Advertiser:
Symposium at Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian E Mau Ke Ea: The Sovereign Hawaiian NationThe Hawaiian Kingdom, founded by King Kamehameha in 1810, was a self-governing nation until January 17, 1893, when U.S. diplomats and Marines supported non-Native businessmen in the overthrow of the Hawaiian government. This symposium, held in conjunction with the National Museum of the American Indian’s new exhibition, E Mau Ke Ea: The Sovereign Hawaiian Nation, features Native Hawaiian scholars, leaders, activists, and culture keepers who discuss the resurgence of Native Hawaiian nationalism today. The symposium title—derived from the second half of a phrase from King Kamehameha that has become the Hawaiian state motto—suggests “towards what is right, correct, proper.” The symposium offers a variety of perspectives on what the future of Hawaiian sovereignty might best look like. National Museum of the American Indian curator Douglas Herman moderates the program. Saturday, January 30, 2016, 2:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Here’s the program (PDF) Speakers include Hokulani Holt-Padilla, Williamson Chang, Clyde Namu’o, Jonathan Kamakawiwo‘ole Osorio, and Mahealani Wendt. Interesting background story in Hawaii Magazine on why Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders wore leis on their Selma march.
The Constitution of the Independent and Sovereign Nation-State of Hawai’i was ratified at ‘Iolani Palace 20 years ago today. It was developed through a series of kupuna ‘ahas on all the islands, with advice from international and constitutional attorneys, culminating in several collective ‘ahas at Pu’uhonua O Waimanalo to agree on the final document. While it hasn’t been fully implemented due to ongoing prolonged occupation, a lot of mana’o, research, debate and hard work went into it, and it can certainly serve as an example and source as the ongoing process of restoration continues.
