OHANA (FAMILY) COUNCIL OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM ALOHA OHANA, THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF HAWAII, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES OF GLORY AND TIMES OF DESPAIR. IN 1893, OUR QUEEN LYDIA KAMAKAEHA LILIUOKALANI, WAS FORCEFULLY TAKEN FROM HER THRONE. SINCE THEN WE HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH UNIMAGINABLE HORRORS, AND STILL AWAIT FOR THE RECOGNITION AND RESTORATION OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS TO EXIST PEACEFULLY WITHIN OUR SOVEREIGN HOMELAND OF HAWAI'I NEI. IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE, AND HUMBLENESS THAT WE ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THE QUESTION OF RE-ESTABLISHING OUR INDEPENDENT GOVERNMENT. THE UNITED NATIONS HAS COMMITTED ITSELF BY ITS CHARTER, TO MAKE SELF-DETERMINATION WITH SELF-GOVERNMENT A REALITY, FOR PEOPLES WHO BY ONE ILLEGAL MEANS OR ANOTHER HAVE LOST THEIR SOVEREIGN, HUMAN, CULTURAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL IDENTITY. IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT, WITHOUT THE FIRING OF A SINGLE SHOT, OUR NATIONAL INTEGRITY WAS STOLEN, AND THAT IT IS ONLY FITTING THAT OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY BE RESTORED PEACEFULLY. A CHARTER FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT, A PETITION TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE WORLD COURT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, AS IT SURELY MUST BE THE TIME FOR WE, THE INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL SOVEREIGN NATIVE HAWAIIANS TO CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES. MAHALO NUI LOA,
IN MEMORY OF KAWAIPUNA (ONAKOA)
PREJEAN,
TORCHBEARER FOR THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM |
