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.

Kamehameha & Lili’uokalani on history podcast

This is from earlier this month and I kept forgetting to post it… I sometimes listen to the Stuff You Missed in History Class podcast from howstuffworks.com, and earlier this month they did two programs on Hawaii:

Kamehameha The Great
Born shortly after the appearance of Halley’s comet over Hawai’i in 1758, Kamehameha was hailed as the king who would unite the Hawai’ian islands. But how did he turn this prophecy into reality, and what happened to him in the end? Tune in and learn more.

Who was the Last Queen of Hawaii?
Born in 1838, Lili’uokalani became the queen of Hawaii in 1891. Unfortunately, she was destined to be Hawaii’s last monarch. Listen in and learn how Hawaii became a state in this podcast.

They do pretty good job of the brief history of these figures and their eras, including mention of the Blount Report and the Ku’e Petition.
