Thank you and Aloha.  I am very happy to be here today speaking with you.  And I have one simple message that I want all the Kanaka Maoli to understand: There is a Convention coming up and I am asking all 135 thousand Kanaka Maoli on the list to go to this Convention and vote to restore the Kingdom of Hawaii.  It’s so simple I want to repeat it: All 135,000 of you go to the Convention and vote to restore the Kingdom of Hawaii that was illegally stolen from you by the United States government in 1893.  It’s that simple.

You are the Kanaka Maoli.  You are a people with the right of self-determination under international law and you are the only people in Hawaii with this right of self-determination.  No one else has it, only you, the Kanaka Maoli.  And as a group of 135,000 people, you must go to this Convention and exercise your right of self-determination, to restore the Kingdom of Hawaii.  This is your right of self-determination, go out and do it.  This is what self-determination is all about.  No one is going to give you your Kingdom.  You must do it yourself.
