I am <br /> a white, midwest college student. I came to Hawaii to study <br /> intercultural commmunication and went Punalu'u to hear activist Pali <br /> Dedman talk about native Hawaiian rights. What he said about the <br /> importance of this beach to many hawaiian families and their ancestors <br /> changed my life. I can only imagine what would happen to my family if <br /> we were robbed of the opportunity to gather and share our stories, <br /> laugh, eat food and enjoy our life. For many native Hawaiians, this <br /> beach is one of the few places where their families can gather and <br /> share these same kinds of traditions. Although my world is physically <br /> seperated from theirs by thousands of miles, it remains spiritually <br /> connected by a single uniquely human thread: the family. Please <br /> protect this. Please protect people. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Matthew Standal <br /> University of MN Duluth <br /> This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. <br /> 344. ~8 <br /> fi`y~, I... <br /> http://us. f588.mail.yahoo. com/ym/ShowLetter?box=lnbox&MsgId=3385_856320_7883_ l 7... 5/1 /2007 <br /> <br />
