This is not the first time Neil Abercrombie has done something disrespectful to Hawaiians. On Day One, Abercrombie took his oath at the  David Kalākaua Coronation Pavilion which was built for Kalākaua’s coronation.

When Abercrombie took his oath there it was very disrespectful to Hawaiians when he purported to be ali’i too:

Lately in March 29, 2012 infront of some members at the Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce, Neil Abercrombie complained of a delay in work on the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway.

Abercrombie called Hawaiians “self-designating” and accused us of using native cultural practices we “discovered six minutes ago” to achieve standing.

Abercrombie wants them thrown out of court.

In this video a woman tells President Obama that she was born in Kapiolani Hospital.

She does not include an  ‘okina in it.

He says, “You’re a Hawaiian?” “You and me.” Saying that he’s Hawaiian is VERY disrespectful to HAWAIIANS.

NO… Obama is NOT HAWAIIAN.

Aue.

The Democrat Regime in Hawai’i is in the midst of discussing another Land Grab.

“A proposal to transfer about 25 acres in Kakaako worth $200 million to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to settle long-standing ceded lands claims does not do enough to empower the Native Hawaiian people.”

Read their propaganda here:

Actually this deal requires WRITTEN authorization of Hawaiian Nationals per the Statue of Frauds which requires ALL real property transactions to be IN WRITING. Hawaiian Nationals and their LEGAL HEIRS did NOT AUTHORIZE THIS IN WRITING.

Hawaiians and their legal heirs reserve their property rights now and forever. This shall also serve as a PUBLIC NOTICE.

Without their WRITTEN authorization this feigned deal between and among the Democrat Regime in Hawai’i is NULL AND VOID.

STOP STEALING FROM HAWAIIAN NATIONALS AND FROM THEIR KEIKI AND MO’OPUNA.

This shall also serve as a PUBLIC NOTICE.

Kawaiaha`o Church in Honolulu has been digging up `iwi kupuna – the bones of Hawaiians buried in the Kawaiaha`o Church so they can build a new social hall.

They have recently uncovered 23 separate gravesites and have unearthed 69 sets of iwi kupuna – native Hawaiian bones.

What the church plans -

They intend to remove any and all iwi kupuna from the former site of Likeke Hall and its surrounding areas in order to build a multi-purpose building.

The construction of this site will perpetuate a tragic legacy of the removal of over 100 iwi kupuna in 1940 when Likeke Hall was first built. Those iwi kupuna were taken to the Kamo’ili’ili cemetery, removed again when that cemetery was sold, and removed once again, cremated with other iwi kupuna, and re-interred on Kawaiaha’o‘s grounds. Removal of bones from their final resting place is the ultimate disrespect in our Hawaiian culture.

Call the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) – (808) 594-1835, and ask the trustees to take a stand to stop the digging. OHA has helped to fund this project with a $1.5 million grant of beneficiary money.

Call the Department of Land and Natural Resources – (808) 692-8015. and find out why the State Historic Preservation Department is not doing their job to protect the iwi kupuna under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

Call the Department of Health – (808) 586-4400, and find out why they are issuing permits for the disinterment of iwi at Kawaiaha’o.

Our kupuna need your help!

There was a point in history (decades actually) when hula was banned by the occupying Missionaries and it was not until the accomplishments of our last great King David Kalākaua, that hula was revived and restored to it’s rightful status.

The irony in all of this is that we’ve come full circle with ads like this one doing the same sort of damage, perpetuating the same type message that the early Missionaries preached which was that hula was a bad and shameful thing. It most certainly is NOT!

We need to put an immediate stop to these types of ads the moment we notice them so that we can educate the masses about the importance of hula and our culture. If you are reading this and share my thoughts, please take a moment to send Travelocity your feedback by clicking on the link below:

Letter to Kawaiaha’o Church:

I have ‘ohana buried at Kawaiaha’o Church Cemetery and I am concerned with the Church’s decision in this matter. I strongly urge you to stop the unearthing of na iwi until you hold…… ho’oponopono with the descendants and other ‘ohana that will be affected by the removal of the iwi.

The concerns of the ‘ohana is foremost over the construction of a building. The people are the church; not a building. You are contradicting your church’s beliefs.

Mahalo,
Tane
