and lusted for political power, arguing that they were doing <br /> the "Natives a favor while furthering God's work." After all, <br /> Hawaii was so beautiful, it was a heaven on earth, and they <br /> meant to own a piece of it. <br /> Some families kept their heritage locked up because of <br /> the fear of any kind of reprisal including death. My ohana <br /> is very fortunate that we are one of the few who have this manao. <br /> To us our genealogies are the Hawaiian concept of time, and <br /> they order the space around us and is the link between the past <br /> to the door to our future. Through our genealogies the deeds <br /> of our ancestors courage inspires our very being; their thoughts <br /> and desires become the parameters of our ambition. <br /> Genealogies are perceived by Hawaiians as an UNBROKEN CHAIN <br /> that links those alive today to the primeval life forces to <br /> the spiritual power that first emerged with the beginning <br /> of the world. Genealogies anchor Hawaiians to our place in the <br /> universe and give us the comforting illusion of continued <br /> existence. Our genealogies were the proof of territory to <br /> the aina. This was handed down through our chants or ole. Our <br /> lineages can be traced back for nine hundred generations and <br /> <br /> more, American genealogies were practically non-existent, or <br /> at least very shallow by comparison. Genealogies are more than <br /> <br /> Mookuauhau, or lists of who begot whom. They are also a mnemonic <br /> <br /> device by which the moolelo or events of the alii are recalled. <br /> <br /> This practice is secured to we, the kanaka maoli, pursuant to <br /> <br /> Article XII section 7 of the Hawaii state constitution. "The <br /> state reaffirms and shall protect all rights, customarily and <br /> traditionally exercised for subsistence, cultural and religious <br /> purposes and possessed by ahupua'a tenants who are descendants <br /> of native Hawaiians who inhabited the Hawaiian Island prior <br /> to 1778..." Our inalienable rights to complete freedom, <br /> subjecting our people to alien subjugation, domination and <br /> exploitation of our fundamental human rights, is contrary <br /> to the Charter of the united nations and is an impediment to <br /> the promotion of world peace. we have been led to believe <br /> that the united states forces are here to protect us from <br /> foreign aggression, from nations with no honor who would wrest <br /> freedom from a free people like other countries such as, Bosnia, <br /> Kuwait. How can a government who publicly created an apology <br /> bill Public Law 103-150, the law based on facts, testimony, <br /> and affidavits, ignore it's content and allow the "old Boy <br /> network," business as usual. We have been deprived of our <br /> constitutional rights, our territory, our traditions, aina and <br /> customs, our entire lives, destroyed by the participation of <br /> the united states naval forces, the minister John L. Stevens, <br /> the Safety Committee members of the riflemen club comprised <br /> of members of the American and European Sugar Planters, <br /> descendants of missionaries and financiers. Past and present, <br /> acts of fraudulent conveyance continues in this case and, why, <br /> is the county accepting all of this, without due process of <br /> law??? COLLUSIONS?? According to the statute of limitation, <br /> there is no limitation, when it comes to fraud. <br /> <br />
