aina i kakau is maluna ma na aoao...(here was inserted <br /> the page numbers)..o keia buke. Aole O'u kuleana maloko." <br /> translated:- <br /> "I consent that this land division is good. The lands <br /> above written on pages (here was inserted the page numbers) <br /> of this book, are for the moi---king: I have no more claim <br /> (to it). <br /> The lands were GRANTED and the agreement made these lands <br /> "INALIENABLE" (incapable of being sold and/or transferred) it <br /> is secured to his HEIRS FOREVER. These lands were VESTED to <br /> the Konohiki/chiefs and his heirs. That title was not disturbed <br /> by any action on the part of the united states government or <br /> the Provisional government of Hawaii. These lands were granted <br /> in "ALODIO", is "ALLODIAL or ALLODIUM," which is defined by <br /> Bouvier's Law Dictionary, as, "free; absolute; not holden of <br /> any lord or superior: owned without obligation, <br /> i.e. property taxes; land held absolutely in one's own right..." <br /> As such, the Konohiki/chiefs had the "ABSOLUTE TITLE" to these <br /> lands and it exists only in the persons named and his heirs. <br /> Thereby making the RIGHTS to the LAND INALIENABLE, which means <br /> that which CAN NOT BE SOLD AND/OR TRANSFERRED. If you believe <br /> in what this nation stands by, you can have a better insight <br /> to Kamehameha III motto: <br /> UA MAU KE EA O KA AINA I KA PONO <br /> TRANSLATED, meaning THE LIFE OF THE LAND IS PERPETUATED IN <br /> RIGHTEOUSNESS to We, the Kanaka Maoli, the Hawaiian people. <br /> Also, KEIKI O KA AINA I KA PONO. <br /> While reviewing the GREAT MAHELE , the original land <br /> division of Kamehameha III, the land in question of exchanging <br /> or swapping the Papaaloa lands, is a portion of the original <br /> GRANT of THE Great Mahele. <br /> Many of the Kanaka Maoli have been treated as foreigners <br /> on our own aina for one hundred and fifty years. We are forced <br /> to show proof of our genealogy to prove our relationship to <br /> the original Grant holder when our Hawaiian culture was a target <br /> of the missionaries from 1820's through the present day "western <br /> religion and politics." The Hula was forbidden in many places, <br /> schools would not tolerate that cultural practice. The chants <br /> <br /> which contained a wealth of cultural treasure were also forbidden <br /> in many places. The legends and oral history of Hawaii its <br /> indigenous people was suppressed that it is almost extinct. <br /> The American subjects knew that if they destroyed our culture <br /> and history, the Kanaka Maoli could not stake a claim to the <br /> ALODIO lands. <br /> Nana i ke kumu, or "look to the source," to the beginnings <br /> in the Kumulipo and ultimately, to our Genealogy. The American <br /> subjects who set out to lead the native Hawaiians to salvation <br /> of their own soul to preach the word of God and its important <br /> laws the ten commandments, over time between 1850 to 1890 + <br /> changed their minds about soul devotion to religious duties <br /> <br />
