food, because that is so important to keep our kupuna comfortable until their last days. So, I'm
<br />in support of this project and mahalo nui for listening today.
<br />VICENTE: Good morning. My name is Dwight Vicente representing the Hawaiian Kingdom.
<br />This property here is located on government lands that was not legally ceded in 1898 by the
<br />banana Republic of Hawaii meaning the State of Hawaii and its agencies, the County of
<br />Hawaii, and its agencies are going beyond the limits of the 1,750,000 acres that was illegally
<br />ceded to the United States in 1898 by the banana republic, and was rebranded as Hawaiian Home
<br />Lands in 1920. So, these lands, this Commission does not have jurisdiction. Just as they was
<br />saying the State highway, the State doesn't have a highway there, `cause the State is limited to
<br />the Hawaiian Home Lands only. So, there is no jurisdiction. So, do you see the lollipops on the
<br />side of the road? They're just lollipops with numbers on. They mean nothing. The courts have
<br />no jurisdiction, because the courts are limited to the 1,750,000 acres only. And, these courts are
<br />kangaroo courts for the reason being that they are under Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the
<br />U.S. Constitution which is limited to the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. There was no
<br />amendment to that, or the U.S. Constitution.
<br />So, the—and, these lands are the government lands which was not ceded so it still remains,
<br />Native Tenant rights to the land meaning that it's self-executing. You don't need permission.
<br />You do as you need to do, and that's how it's been and should be.
<br />So, with this, I'll end with the reservation of the rights of this Kingdom under the Queen's
<br />Protest of January 17, 1893, against U.S. Minister Stevens. It has yet to makes its way to the
<br />U.S. Supreme Court, Article III, Section 2, Clause 2, original but limited jurisdiction. The other
<br />one is the 1898 Joint Resolution. It's unconstitutional because the banana republic consisted of
<br />the U.S. citizens that created that banana republic. They had no jurisdiction. Not even to be here
<br />because the 1875 Reciprocity Treaty was not signed by King Kalakaua or the U.S. President, and
<br />in 1820, President Monroe appointed John C. Jones as the agent for the U.S., and he was in
<br />charge of the missionary family and the U.S. Navy. Here again there is no constitutional
<br />authority, and they just shouldn't have done it. No constitutional authority. It was part of the
<br />colonial process which it was doing under President Monroe. Thank you.
<br />GAMAYO: Aloha, my name is Darde Gamayo. I'm a part-time resident of Waipi`o Valley and
<br />Honoka`a now. We taro farm down in Waipi`o as well. We have knownI speak on behalf of
<br />my family. My husband is Darren Gamayo. He is the full-time information officer up at the top
<br />of Waipi`o Valley, and I come here today in support of Jolene and Earl's application.
<br />We need to look at becoming a sustainable island, a sustainable community, and part of living in
<br />Waipi`o Valley is what we strive to do. We live off the land, and we use what we have. With
<br />the storms coming, with everything that's going on in the world, we need to be able to feed
<br />ourselves. The Lannings have done that. They, Jolene has vast experience in restaurant. I could
<br />see some of you shaking your head `cause you guys remember the food at Jolene's Kau Kau
<br />Korner. I am excited. We are excited, because now if I am in Honoka`a and Darren forgot his
<br />lunch, I can just tell him go to Jolene's. He's a few feet away. I don't need to drive all the way
<br />over to, to Waipi`o to get him lunch. I'm not jokingI'm serious.
