...any chance for a rally here in Seattle? What happened to the NW supporters?

Re: Ruling Gives Kamehameha Time

At least 500 people turned out in their Ku I Ka Pono t-shirts yesterday in San Francisco. According to the reports, most were not KBSE grads, but people who nonetheless supported KSBE. Hopefully this will not be the last demonstration staged on the Mainland to educate the people up here to the plight of the kanaka maoli.

If you look at the back of the Ku I Ka Pono t-shirt that's being sold by ilio'ulaokalani (www.ilio.org), besides KSBE, the following kanaka maoli issues have coalesced into one movement: Kukaniloko, na iwi kupuna, mauna kea, Pohakuloa, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and the ali'i trust lands; these are the things that mean a lot to the kanaka maoli, and which are now in jeopardy because of others who have no respect for their culture or their history.

P.S. According to their website, there will be a convoy/march on Sept. 4 to Kukaniloko, where the DoD wants to train Stryker Brigade forces.

I don't know if there can be a rally in Seattle. It would depend greatly on the local groups (KSBE alumni association and the Wakinikona Hawaiian Club) and their willingness to undertake something like this. I saw a map of the US yesterday (from OHA) that shows there are as many people calling themselves Hawaiian who reside in Washington state as there are on the island of Kauai (around 13,500), so that means there's a lot of expats living up here.

One of the things you can do to bring yourself up to speed on the Hawaiian events being held in the Seattle area is to pick up a free copy of the Pacific NW Hawai'i Times. It can be found in places like L&L, Hawaii General Store, Bobby's Restaurant in Everett, Kauai Family Restaurant, Kona Kitchen, Lei's Family Restaurant in Duvall, and the Longs Drugstore in Lynnwood. That's a good way to find out when ho'olauleas and pa'ainas are being held and where the restaurants serving Hawaiian style foods are located.

Re: Ruling Gives Kamehameha Time

Reports from organizers of the Ku I Ka Pono rally in San Francisco put the number of marchers at anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 people, which is a vastly different number than was given by the AP stringer. I think the real numbers were probably somewhere in between, more like 1,000 to 1,500 marchers. Here are additional pictures from the rally. And here is the text of the speech given by Kelii Brown at the gathering:

"...To those of you here today who are not of Native Hawaiian ancestry... I would personally like to thank you even more so. You have taken a stand for what is pono, what is correct. You recognize the repeated injustices Hawaiians have historically faced and are here today simply because you believe it is the right thing to do. I salute you.

It is, in fact, with you "Hawaiians-at-heart" in mind that I remind all of us that this is not a Hawaiian vs. non-Hawaiian issue. The vast majority of Hawai'i, regardless of ethnicity, appreciate our plight and understand retribution and justice for kanaka maoli are in everyone's best interests...."

Re: Ruling Gives Kamehameha Time

Apparently the forum yesterday to discuss the Akaka Bill and its implications drew spirited debate about what passage of the law would or would not do. All residents of Hawai'i need to become educated about the complex issues surrounding this debate because whatever the outcome, it will alter your way of life, and if the issue should come to a vote in Hawai'i, you want to make sure you know what the facts are.

Re: Ruling Gives Kamehameha Time

It's official now. KSBE has filed a petition for an en banc hearing. It's now up to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to decide whether to seat 11 justices for a full hearing on the John Doe Case. Interesting that the attorney who filed on behalf of KSBE is from Palo Alto. So now both sides have Mainland attorneys to argue the case.
