High court upholds burial site challenges

Native Hawaiians have the right to challenge construction plans that disturb Hawaiian burial sites, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled yesterday.
The court held that native Hawaiians can turn to the state Board of Land and Natural Resources to appeal decisions by the Oahu Island Burial Council that approve a developer’s treatment plan for burial remains.
“We’re quite pleased,” Native Hawaiian Legal Corp. lawyer David Kimo Frankel said of the 59-page opinion written by Chief Justice Ronald Moon. “It reinforces that native Hawaiians have a right to a contested case hearing when their cultural practices are impacted.”

Hawaiian leaders called to a gathering on Maui

Letter in the Maui News Tuesday

Native Hawaiian leaders called to a gathering

As a nonprofit citizen advocacy group, Citizens for Truth and Justice-Maui County, we encourage all of the Hawaiian sovereignty group leaders to come to a ho’okahi lahui that will take place on Aug. 21 at the Maui Botanical Garden Amphitheater, running from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The main purpose of this ho’okahi lahui is to bring together all of the sovereignty leaders to share their mana’o in creating the unification of all the various government entities that strive for a Hawaiian government that is for the Hawaiians and administered by the Hawaiians.

Registration for voters is presently taking place to allow the people to eventually vote for their leader or leaders and the type of government they desire.

All of the sovereignty leaders who participate in this great effort will be showing their followers that they are truly pursuing a sincere desire and need to unite all of the sovereignty groups, which in reality is the only thing that will work. pision of the people has been historically the downfall of every effort to restore nations.

Here, now, is the opportunity to bring real strength to all of your efforts to get your country back.
