In the last two centuries, millions of acres of Hawaiian land have been taken from Hawaiians. The tragic history of abused Hawaiian ali'i property rights, customs and practices continues. Again and again we find the government using its most extreme powers to satisfy a vocal minority, and achieve some short-term political goals. All at the expense of Hawaiians.

But if you consider the forced taking of property from its rightful owner an immoral, unjustifiable practice, then calling it stealing is all too accurate. Isn't it time we stopped rating our history, and started learning from it? Stap the stealing. Stap mandatary conversion.

A HAWAIIAN POLITICAL PARTY IS FORMED HUI KALA!'AINA PROVIDES THE MEANS FOR HAWAIIANS TO BE HEARD

A STATEMENT FROM HUI KALAIIAINA PRESIDENT ELI NAHULU

HUI KALAI'AINA HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK INTO THE LIVES OF HAWAIIANS TODAY BECAUSE OF THE CRUCIAL TIMES AND ISSUES WE FACE. OHA, HAWAIIAN HOMES, SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR ALI'I TRUSTS ARE CON CERNS THAT REQUIRE A CLEAR VISION A N D UNDERSTANDING, FOR EACH PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN DETERMINING THE KIND OF FUTURE WE WANT FOR OUR AND MO'oPUNA. MANY OF US WERE COMPELLED AT ONE TIME TO SHOUT AND DEMAND CHANGE IN OUR STATUS AS NATIVES OF THESE ISLANDS . TODAY WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SEEK OUT OUR COMMON INTERESTS AND TO EMPHASIZE THOSE OB.JECTIVES THAT MAKE PONO THE DILEMMA HAWAIIANS HAVE STRUGGLED WITH SINCE THE OVERTHROW OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM . As A HAWAIIAN POLITICAL PARTY, HUI KALAI'AINA WILL PURSUE THE PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY AND CONSENSUS IN ALL THINGS THAT RELATE TO HAWAIIANS . BUT AS WE PURSUE THIS COURSE - IN THE NEXT OHA ELECTION, IN MEETINGS TO PREPARE US FOR A PARTY CONVENTION, IN DIALOGUE WITH THE BROADER COMMUNITY, IN KUKA WITH OUR FAMILIES AND CHURCHES, AND IN MEETINGS WITH THOSE WHO SEE A DIFFERENT SOLUTION - THE TRADITIONS , CUSTOMS AAND VALUES OF OUR KUPUNA WILL GUIDE OUR ACTIONS . ALOHA, HAAHAA, MAOPOPOPONO, IK£ PAPALUA, AND HO'oPONOPONO WILL BE OUR PROTOCOL, AGENDA, PROFILE AND DEMEANOR .

THIS IS THE TRADITION THAT HUI KALAI'AINA SOUGHT TO RESTORE IN 1888. IT IS OUR LEGACY TODAY.

HUI KALAI'AINA PRESIDENT ELI NAHULU

EXPLAINED THE GOALS OF THE HAWAIIAN

POLITICAL PARTY AT A PRESS CONFERENCE HELD AT 10LANI PALACE

A STATEMENT FROM HUI KALAIIAINA VICE-PRESIDENT FRANCIS FRANCIS KAUHANE

WE ALL HAV E LISTENED TO AND READ ABOUT THE P ILIKIA THAT PLAGUES THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS (OHA) . As A HAWAIIAN I STITUTIO LED BY AN ELECTED BOARD OF TRUSTEES , OHA INHERENTLY FACES COKTROVERSEY AND D IFFERENCES . THE NATURE OF THE POLITICAL PROCESS IS ADVERSARIAL, AND SO, TOO ,IS THE GROWING PRESSURE TO RESOLVE SOME OF OHA's LONGSTANDING ISSUES . IN THIS REGARD , THE TRUSTEES FACE THE DIFFICULTY OF BRIDGING D IFFERENCES AND GAINING THE CONSENSUS OF HAWAIIANS - A DIFFICULT, BUT NECESSARY, TASK . F O R OS OF US , WHO CAN ONLY OBSERVE THE WORKING OF THE TRUSTEES, THE RESULTS AS OF LATE HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTING AND EMBARASSING . UNFORTUNATELY, THE PERSONAL ATTACKS , COUNTER-ATTACKS AND ALLEGATIONS OF FINANCIAL MISCONDUCT PASSING BETWEN THE OHA TRUSTEES HAVE BEEN EXTREME.

IF WE ALLOW THE OHA TRUSTEES TO CONTINUE ON THEIR PRESENT COURSE, OHA WILL SELF- DESTRUCT. SOME IN THE HAWAIIAN COMMUNITY HAVE SOUGHT TH E DISMANTLING OF OHA BECAUSE, FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW , OHA HAS BECOME AN IMPEDIMENT. As WE SEE, OHA IS ERODING FROM WITHIN .

FOR THE MA.JORITY OF US, OHA REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HAWAIIANS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR RESOURCES, ASPIRATIONS AND DEEDS . THIS FUNDAMENTALLY IS THE MISSION OF OHA AND LIKEWISE THE PURPOSE OF HUI KALA.!'AINA . HUI KALAI'AINA IS A HAWAIIAN POLITICAL PARTY. WE BELIEVE THAT THOSE WHO SEEK TO BE ELECTED AS OHA TRUSTEES MUST RUN ON THE BASIS OF A GAMEPLAN OR PLATFORM . HUI KALAI'AINA WILL HUI KALAI'AINA VICE-PRESIDENT FRANCIS SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHOSE OB.JECTIVES PROMOTE COMMON INTERESTS , WHOSE VISIONS ARE KAUHANE EXPLAIN.ED THE HAWAIIAN POLITICAL PREM ISED ON HAWAIIAN TRADITIONS , AND WHOSE OB.JECTIVES PROMOTE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL PARTY'S PLATFORM TO REPORTERS AT THE WHO LOVE OUR ISLANDS. IF CANDIDATES OPPOSE A PLEBISCITE ON SOVEREIGNTY, WE NEED TO PRESS CONFERENCE KNOW . IF THEY ARE LOOKING TO DISMANTLE OUR ALI'I TRUSTS , WE NEED TO KNOW. IF THEY ARE SEEKING TO BUILD A FUTURE FOR HAWAIIANS TO THE EXCLUSION AND DETRIMENT OF OTH"ER PEOPLE, WE NEED TO KNOW .

As THE NOVEMBER ELECTION OF OHA TRUSTEES APPROACHES , HAWAIIANS MUST DEMAND THAT CANDIDATES HAVE A WRITTEN PLATFORM . THIS WILL BEGI THE FIRST STEP OF MAKING OHA PONO. IT WILL BRING THE NECESSARY LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPONS IB ILITY AND CONSENSUS THAT OHA DESPERATELY NEEDS .

OHA MUST BE ALLOWED TO FULFILL ITS MISSION .

IT IS TIME FOR EVERY HAWAIIAN TO STEP FORWARD AND BE HEARD To SHARE YOUR MANA'O , AND TO TAKE PART IN THE S HAPING OF THE FUTURE SOVEREIGN HAWAIIAN NATION, CONTACT HUI KALAI'AINA By TELEPHONE (808) 969-972 I. By MAIL PO Box 19 I 6, HONOLULU , H I 96805
