could have a committee to go over what I'm talking about. But if you listen to any of
<br />those meetings that I went to, all I been trying to do is submit myself to the government,
<br />knowing what I know. And I'm trying to avoid chaos. I have not let all my family know
<br />about the king's will. I kept it as mellow as I can, and I thought that if I could negotiate
<br />with the mayor, with the councilmen, and we could work something out together
<br />peacefully to avoid chaos. I'm still afraid. In a few more months, all of my family will
<br />start hearing about the king's will, and what kind of reaction will that have? I'm not
<br />lying, I'm not making up something, but I believe it is unethical for the mayor, for the
<br />Corporation Counsel, to ignore what I'm trying to share. It's not easy for me to let out
<br />my heart to the truth of my family, and I just hope you open your eyes and help save what
<br />you have, because I don't want to see chaos. That's why I've been throwing myself to the
<br />county, throwing myself to the ceded land cases, to let the proper people know that my
<br />tutu's will exists and my family exists. And yet, they keep ignoring me. That's all have
<br />to say for now, and I pray that what I'm saying don't fall on deaf ears. Thank you.
<br />CHAIR: Thank you. William? I can't read can you say your last name? I can't read it
<br />here.
<br />KUAMO `O: Aloha, my name is William James Mitchell Kuamo `o, Sr. K- U- A- M -O -O.
<br />My position here is the same as Albert's. When I went to that gathering by Corporate
<br />Counsel, all my statements was totally ignored, not even entered on the documentation
<br />made by the second -in- command of our county, corporate lawyer. My position was to
<br />speak on land title. Today I'll speak it again. Three original land title was made by and
<br />promulgated in 1845. Grants belongs to the 244 chiefs. Royal fee simple patent belongs
<br />to all the royal lines, not to be sold. And the lease belongs to the chiefs, maka `ainana,
<br />the common workers. I brought a book here, promulgated in 1845. Today it's called the
<br />Hawai `i Revised Statute law. It's stated right here. This was made by our grandfather,
<br />our great- great - great- grandfather. But because of what was happening in the past and
<br />how we were treated by the Corporate Counsel, being ignored, grandpa being ignored
<br />himself, this law book has never been used properly, like how the Corporate Counsel
<br />used us just to get in there and speak our mind. Nothing was written to this. The only
<br />thing they wrote was 1845, received in 1848, by our own tutu. And it said that he granted
<br />that work. But nobody brought any paper up. As I said, today we only have three
<br />immediate and only template. You are now working on, as Shelley said, fraudulent
<br />documentation made after the fact. This book was never been used, was never legalized,
<br />and was never owed by your own word. Grandpa had to readjust his movement and take
<br />our family and hid them. Many of you went through this. You can even speak to your
<br />own family. You ought to to them. Well, I guess you are. I hope you are. I
<br />had faced the itself, many years back, but today is title. Royal fee simple
<br />patent, page 102. Grants runs by chiefs, 97. And lease, 103. Today all you are holding
<br />on is a fraud. None of the county ever looked at us. The second in command, the
<br />lawyer I never respect anything he said over there. Thank you.
<br />CHAIR: One quick question. You're referring to the meeting with Gerald Takase on
<br />KUAMO `O: Correct
<br />CHAIR: -- November 5, 2009? Okay, thank you.
<br />I
