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
