KAINA: Aloha. 7 AUDIENCE: Aloha. 8 MS. KAINA: My name is Orpha Uihani Kinney Kaina. 9 My momma is from Hana and my father is from Kauai. I'm so 10 pleased to be here and I would like to take the time to say 11 a -- show my appreciation for these people that have come in 12 spite of the [inaudible] that they have to face. 13 First of all, most important, is that I would like 14 to say a'ole to all of those questions that was asked of us 15 and to [inaudible] a little of my feelings and manao. 16 As we were forming the [Hawaiian word], my heart 17 looked forward so anxiously looking into finding ways to come 18 home and go mauka to prepare, to clean up there so we could 19 have our resources back: our opae, our O'opu, our [Hawaiian 20 word]. And to enjoy the beautifully [inaudible] the flowers 21 and to shape our [Hawaiian language spoken], so we could take 22 these things into the classroom to share with our pau hana, so 23 they could feel the essence of how our people and what our 24 people had, so they could have the same lessons that they had. 25 But we were told not touch them, not to take them home. They RALPH ROSENBERG COURT REPORTERS, INC. 1001 Bishop Street, #2460, Honolulu, HI 96813 808-524-2090 [email protected] 4 1 take the [Hawaiian language spoken]. 2 A'ole. My momma was here today, she would say, 3 These people so na'aupo. The pohaku has benefits that if you 4 look down when you're down at the beach and you see a pohaku 5 that you feel you wanna take home and -- and use it, then you 6 have that right to do. I am -- I just want to say that. 7 Thank you so much. Thank you. 8 MS. CHANG: Thank you, Auntie. 9 Do I have another kupuna who would like to come up? 10 (Applause.) 11 MS. CHANG: If not, I'm going to the first five 12 names. Dennis O'Shea, Kahu Richard Malele DeLeon -- 13 Jovena, I hope you don't mind, we're gonna -- Okay. 14 Mahalo. 15 Sharon Cornelio and then after Sharon is Alana 16 Kapuni. 17 MR. O'SHEA: My name is Dennis O'Shea. I live here 18 in Lahaina. In fact, the last time I was in this room my son 19 was graduating from fifth grade. 20 The Department of the Interior has asked us five 21 questions. My answer to those questions are no, no, no, no, 22 and no. This is just another feeble attempt to get the Akaku 23 Bill through and declare Hawaiians an Indian tribe. And we 24 know what the Department of the Interior has done to the 25 Indian tribes. Hawaiians are not an Indian tribe. We are a RALPH ROSENBERG COURT REPORTERS, INC. 1001 Bishop Street, #2460, Honolulu, HI 96813 808-524-2090 [email protected] 5 1 sovereign kingdom. I'm pau. 2 (Applause.) 3 MS. CHANG: Thank you. 4 I have Richard DeLeon, Sharon Cornelio, and Alana 5 Kapuni. 6 MR. DeLEON: Aloha kakau. 7 AUDIENCE: Aloha. 8 MR. DeLEON: To our panel, mahalo. I know it's hard 9 to face all of us because we're a spiritual people, so when we 10 speak, it comes from the heart and deep within that the 11 [Hawaiian word]. You have broken our Queen's heart, but 12 there's one thing that you never did, was shatter her spirit. 13 And that's what brings us here today so we can finish the good 14 fight, but with aloha. 15 Two scenarios: Russia went to premiers, same thing 16 about sovereignty, Secretary Terry Randall ran over there to 17 assist them. Saddam Hussein went into Kuwait, sovereignty 18 issues, President Bush ran over there to assist them. And yet 19 in his backyard, where are they? [Inaudible.] 20 AUDIENCE MEMBER: Aloha. 21 MR. O'SHEA: Difference, there was violence in those 22 countries, but yet they still went there. Here we have aloha, 23 love, where are they? 24 So a'ole, a'ole, a'ole, a'ole, a'ole. No to all 25 five questions. [Inaudible] on the paperwork. Also, no to RALPH ROSENBERG COURT REPORTERS, INC. 1001 Bishop Street, #2460, Honolulu, HI 96813 808-524-2090 [email protected] 6 1 the other nine that's in the shadows. Yes? Because the words 2 that was put forth is a double-edged sword. We learned from 3 the First Nations when you offered them their sovereignty, but 4 it wasn't the supreme sovereignty because now they don't have 5 their natural resources, it has been invaded by all the other 6 countries, fracking, everything else that goes with it. 7 So today our people, we have to understand the 8 language that is used and be careful of how we -- we say it 9 because it can mean one thing. We have the same thing which 10 is the county, but it was always about love. It makes the 11 difference and set aside who we are as people. So mahalo. 12 Mahalo Ke Akua. Blessed to my sister-in-law, [Hawaiian name]. 13 And I'm here to represent 579 of my immediate family under the 14 house of Keakealani and Kanaloa [Hawaiian name]. 15 MS. CHANG: Mahalo. 16 (Applause.) 17 MS. CHANG: I have Sharon Cornelio, Alana Kapuni, 18 and Ke'eaumoku Kapu. 19 MS. CORNELIO: Aloha. My name is Sharon Cornelio. 20 I've been watching you folks for about these past 21 two weeks and it's very, very painful to watch our people come 22 up to the mic and express their feelings, you know, actually 23 pouring out their hearts, pouring out their hearts to fight 24 for what is ours that was illegally taken away from us. I 25 just have to speak for my [Hawaiian word] and the keikis RALPH ROSENBERG COURT REPORTERS, INC. 1001 Bishop Street, #2460, Honolulu, HI 96813 808-524-2090 [email protected] 7 1 behind us. [Hawaiian language spoken.] Thank you. 2 (Applause.) 3 MS. CHANG: I now have Alana Kapuni, Ke'eaumoku 4 Kapu, and Kehu Kapaku, and then Blossom. 5 MS. KAPUNI: Yes. My name is Alana Kapuni and I'm 6 from the Upcountry area. And I have seen the Hawaiian culture 7 suffer for many, many years, you know. I have seen them work 8 their whole lives just to get taken advantage of, just to hear 9 more and more lies, replicas of another solution with 10 different words. You guys have a lot of play in your wording, 11 you know, like this word "should" here, everything is should. 12 You only give us five questions, so are you giving us an 13 option? Is it a suggestion that you're giving us? 14 Really, technically, I don't agree with any of 15 these. I really, really don't. I mean, as you said, it's 16 just a framework for the U.S. and these people don't want to 17 be a part of the U.S., they want to be independent, they want 18 to have their own. And we are not Indian, so how are you 19 gonna put us in the same category as the Indian culture when 20 our technique of war is different, our language is different, 21 our daily lives have its differences. They live in teepees, 22 we live in huts. They're on the mainland, we live in the 23 middle of the ocean. 24 My great-grandmother, [Hawaiian name] Kapuni always 25 said that Hawaii will have their day and that day will come RALPH ROSENBERG COURT REPORTERS, INC. 1001 Bishop Street, #2460, Honolulu, HI 96813 808-524-2090 [email protected] 8 1 soon enough.

  • Fire and Water Must Live Together a Novella, with an Afterword Addressing Its Critical Framework by Robert Todd Gabbard B. Desi
    Fire and water must live together a novella, with an afterword addressing its critical framework by Robert Todd Gabbard B. Design, University of Florida, 2000 M. Architecture, University of Florida, 2004 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of English College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Katherine Karlin, Ph.D., M.F.A. Copyright © Robert Todd Gabbard 2018 Abstract By the year 2037, climate change has destabilized the world’s ecology, politics, and culture. Hawaii has seceded from the United States, instituting the Cultural Reaffirmation, which champions a sustainable, traditional way of life. Eenie is an astronomer on the Big Island of Hawaii. In order to keep the observatory on Mauna Kea operational, she must appease the newly independent island nation by reenacting a mythical sled race between Poliahu, the Hawaiian snow goddess of Maunakea, and Pele, the fierce goddess of lava, personified by a rival geoscientist from Maunaloa’s volcanic laboratory. Once an Olympic contender in the women’s luge, Eenie has won this race twice before. This year, though, the greenhouse effect has caught up with her; there is no snow on Maunakea. Without it, she cannot prevail, and if she doesn’t, the priests of Hawaii’s Cultural Reaffirmation will pull the telescopes down from their most sacred mountain. Eenie struggles against nature’s increasing wrath, gods, monsters, pigs, and political rivals, though her biggest struggle is within herself. Fire and water must live together takes place in an ecodystopic future, though its story pulls from Hawaiian myth.

    Conquest of Paradise Illustration ©1984, 2007 Herb Kawainui Kane Designer’s Notes Conquest of Paradise is a grand strategic game; not exactly an historic simulation game, but perhaps an archeological simulation game! Each turn of the game represents about five years of real time. Each hexagon on the game map spans about 600 nautical miles of the Pacific Ocean. Inside this booklet you will find the historic and archeological backgrounds – and their impact on the game – for the named Explorers, the Arts & Culture cards, and the Island Group tiles. There is nothing in this booklet that is required for game play. To make it easy to find the descriptions of your discoveries, each of the three sections is arranged in alphabetical order. One day, when they had been at sea for a long time, Explorers Makali’i said to Hawai’i Loa, “Let’s steer the canoe in the direction of the Eastern Star, the discoverer of land”. Hawai'i Loa So they steered straight onward and arrived at the Hawai’i Loa was a distinguished man.
