Dr. Keanu Sai, a graduate of the Kamehameha Schools Kapālama campus in 1982 has been invited by Kamehameha Schools Ka‘iwakīloumoku Pacific Indigenous Institute, in partnership with Kanaeokāna, for a presentation on March 5, 2025, with questions and answers to follow about his recent chapter “Hawai‘iʻs Sovereignty and Survival in the Age of Empire” published by Englandʻs Oxford University Pressʻ Unconquered States: Non-European Powers in the Imperial Age in December of 2024. No registration is required for this free public in-person event and light refreshments to follow.
The public is encouraged to attend because Dr. Saiʻs presentation will get into the operational plan for transitioning the State of Hawai‘i into a military government of Hawai‘i and the impact it will have on the population of Hawai‘i, e.g. health care, land, taxes, cost of living. The session will be recorded and uploaded on Kanaeokana’s website.
The session will be recorded and uploaded on Kanaeokana’s YouTube channel.
We have been listening to all of Dr Sai speeches and Q&A, there are many of us Hawaiians in Florida California Texas Arizona that would like to return home, we will be keeping an eye and ear on all the latest developments with regard to our home Hawaii and would like return to our home
Homecoming will be Blessed with Dr. Sai in place here, prayerfully soon. Welcome Home Sweet Home…
Will this presentation be recorded for those who are not able to attend?
Regent Sai,
Have you considered having a meeting with the prime ministers of Greenland, Denmark and Canada regarding US President Trumps threats to overthrow or buy their countries against their will? I think a meeting with them would be a good opportunity to both spread awareness of the Hawaiian Kingdoms illegal occupation as well as give those countries arguments and speaking points as to the US’s illegal reach in its expansionist ideology. Perhaps if questioned about it, they could bring up the illegality of the US’s occupation of our Kingdom to publicly display that his doing so to them would likewise be illegal. It could also prove to forge a friendship between our sovereign nations wherein one or all of those countries may consider holding those named in war crime reports and holding hearings against them for international law violations?
Oops, didn’t mean to reply to your comment, r kala mai, I meant to comment to Regent Sai.
Awesome, another chance to go…yessah! Kumu, you already know I going come with questions so here is a prelude.
The greatest impact will be our sovereigns power to coin money and regulate it’s value. With its proper use and exercise comes economic freedom! Servitude, usury and debt is all there is without it.
From the time of Jesus of Nazareth to Hitler, Central Bankers have managed to take global control of all nations and governments like pirates operating on the high seas unencumbered and unmolested. Indeed, it was a pirate by the name of William Patterson that established the Bank of England. Some wouldn’t believe it but even Jesus, although he did flip the money tables and forced the Patricians out, was crucified as a “lèstès” next to 2 other pirates/traffickers/fishers of men.
Anyhow, most people wouldn’t connect the scheme of central banking to pirating, robbing or plundering yet history tells us this is a fact. A deep truth and reality we have yet to let sink in. Yet taxing power of any government rests on its credit guarantee that all sovereigns are endowed with.
However the acceptance of fiat money not backed by assets of intrinsic value but by that same credit guarantee of the government in today’s US dollar controlled international financial order presents a domestic and international crisis that cannot be met nor matched by the universal acceptability of gold. While governments may tax their people and sell bonds to fund government and pay the national debt, and such a power was used by Kamehameha and Kaahumanu ma until Boki accepted all debts of the Council thereby making it private rather than that of the Council, will the COR inform us of the debt created on behalf of the subjects as an integral and vested part of the Hawaiian State?
Also, there is a significant historical reason why countries are dropping the dollar. No country, or fiat currency for that matter, has ever survived as long as gold. Will the COR follow the yellow brick road amd convert the dollars received because there is no place like home?
I was there, those were very good questions. My son said we should start investing in silver. So I was thinking that because the Hawaiian currency is backed by silver, this would be a good time to purchase the Hawaiian Kingdom bonds.
We have a right to know if the Council and Commission was looking at the ICC for prosecution because they have published their investigative reports of war crimes in the King’s territory and yet appear to be unable to prosecute its claims to the fullest extent of Hawaiian Kingdom law. When they can however I am sure many Hawaiians will start petitioning their own claims but aside from relying on the principle of universal jurisdiction for prosecution, perhaps more revenue just needs to be raised in order to fund the creation and establishment of such a tribunal. Then that means the Council needs more revenues but considering the inflationary nature of the US dollar what is the Council going to do?
It is important for the Hawaiian public to know whether the Council sought to hedge against such inflation especially light of the Trump administrations recessive tariff effects. Thus, by converting bond revenue into gold the Council can preserve the store of value invested by Hawaiians and foreign investors otherwise the commercial paper the Council is floating is only backed by the full faith and credit of the Council.
So, while although we trust the Chair, we also have a corresponding duty to our ancestry and lineage to verify the information the Council publishes and Chair mentions in public. Furthermore, given the sensitive nature of the situation and in consideration of the strategic and operational security aspects it would have been unwise to give a direct, clear and/or succinct answer.
Now, to your thinking. Purchasing Council bonds will guarantee a return on investment but consider what is to be returned. Consider the fact that it is possible that Hawaiian currency may be backed by nothing other than the full faith and credit of the US/Council which will exert their taxing power on their subjects to pay for their operations. Is that not what the Council is doing as we speak?
I say this not to dissuade or interfere but to stimulate critical thinking and conscious reasoning because the Council Chair neither addressed nor spoke to the substance of my questions and went around it like a hot potato. As already mentioned, I absolutely understand why but I also need to educate my people. Besides, history tells us what happened to the German and Japan banks under US deoccupation.
Most people don’t realize that at the turn of the 20th there were only 18 Central Banks and now there is about 160 which is headquartered is Basel as the Bank for International Settlement. In the long run we’ll need a mint, holding facilities, security, and a way to interface with the international financial systems and networks, preferably an independent one, but our discussions and education about international trade and finance is still a long way from home.
If we truly seek self-government, then we must understand the origins and development of and the power to create money ex nihilo. Or we can just accept another like but Hawaiian tailored Central Bank. Up to us!
Amazing! I sometimes wonder if our country is run as a meritocracy as well, not a democracy. While it is explicitly stated in our Constitution that the Kingdom is of a Constitutional Monarchy, based on the articles of the Constitution, the Kingdom is also run as a meritocracy as well. I could be mistaken.
In the end, we are a Constitutional Monarchy and we should stay that way.

Will Hawaiians jump on the boycott America movement?
Trump’s tariffs and trade war is not a one way street. The exodus of the Canadian market boycotting US goods and travel will be disastrous. Hopefully not like the Jews did Germany.
People not spending. Costs for goods and services are skyrocketing. US enormous debt and deficit spending will rip the TARP off the 2008 crisis exposing the foundational flaws underpinning it.
After the Atlanta Fed revised 1st quarter 2025 GDP growth from 2.3% to a negative 1.5%, the US economy now faces a recession should the 2nd quarter of 2025 also show negative growth. When coupled with the fact that 28% of S&P 500 revenues come from Canadian investors, a Canadian boycott would surely cripple the US economy. And then when you look at the 2nd order effects of Trumps trade wars, it’s becomes just a matter of time before the house of cards fall and the veneer of economic strength gets destroyed.
Correction, 28% is foreign and not strictly Canadian.
Holy excrement! Not negative 1.5% but actually negative 2.8%, and still counting…people get ready…stock up on essentials before toilet paper from China gets banned under the guise of US national security.
After $3 billion to Israel and the Executive blitzkrieg on the administrative state, the market is now showing massive layoffs in the private sector, missed revenue expectations and price explosions. We are in the midst of the ‘Great White Taking’. Here is the so called deal for Federal subjects and citizens of the several states from their government.
While the American people has to eat the full faith and credit of its governments actions, the corporations around them feed off of them like parasites siphoning their economic power and labor. When the stuff hits the fan, will it show in US stock prices? Bankruptcies and defaults will spiral out of control, people get ready cause the USS Armageddon is on itsway to the ends of the earth. Who still wants to kick the can?

God bless you, doctor sai.
fyi Just my summary & some ‘connecting’ stories…
The gathering was lovely, complete with a Hawaiian opening, closing, Hawaiian pupus & ava/kava which I’ve always associated with ‘ceremonies’. Loved that it was high ‘on a hill’ with a strong breeze blowing thru *giving chills* to the story of the journey we’re on with Kumu Sai. 🙂
Keanu shared his significant life mo’olelo as it relates to his personal mission, a polished academic slideshow that we’ve come to expect w/ a strong message: NOW, he/we are playing ‘football’ with ‘football rules’ rather than previously using the wrong ‘game’ rules. Translated, the UNLAWFUL 1893 overthrow started with US military NOT doing what they were SUPPOSED to do– while OCCUPYING another country. So NOW the focus is clearly on MILITARY (HI National Guard) stepping up & following through on what their DUTY is! Recall we’ve not heard any more mil names mentioned since Nov.
At one point the dialog gravitated briefly to Hā- The Breath of Life.
INTERESTINGLY on this week’s Island News’ ‘Wisdom Wednesdays’ that weaves in Hawaiian culture & history, the ROOT word was “Hā” was masterfully explained (when talking about hānai) by KITV “IN HOUSE” Kumu Kawaikapuokalani Hewett. https://youtu.be/msLJ3UWezgU?si=9wMO-GdD0fiB0UFL
It DOES feel like we’re REGAINING OUR Hā after it was literally taken away in 2020- especially from our children when HIDOE decided to EXTEND FT masking for our keiki beyond the ‘state’ mandate. 😵💫 IRONIC considering it had implemented a framework called HĀ in 2015 to ‘honor the indigenous language and culture of Hawaii’ & “IMPORTANCE OF BREATH in Hawaiian life”. ..
Thankfully, Dr. Sai has continued to EMPHASIZE the importance of EDUCATION since the 1999 Larsen vs. the Hawaiian Kingdom case at Permanent Court of Arbitration. I’m pleased to see my recent UH system children receive MORE Hawaiian-infused graduation ceremonies AND also, since 2017, graduation diplomas in Hawaiian & English!
https://www.hawaii.edu/news/2018/05/08/hawaiian-and-english-diplomas/
As for Q&A time, there was only time for 2 that appeared to come from his UH students. Suppose our Q posed here on this blog would be a bit much for an event that would be shown to our mostly unknowing locals? I did ask Dr. Sai afterwards, what WE could do (in our personal battles vs. Occupiers) using the ‘new game rules’– which seemed to ruffle his ahuula feathers. How did I take his response? I sensed there’s a lot more going on (((behind the scenes))) that we are NOT aware of & to ‘trust the plan’ WHILE continuing to SPREAD THE WORD of Hawaiian Kingdom’s CONTINUED reemergence.
Lastly, Paula Akana (Pres/CEO of the Friends of ʻIolani Palace) *just* shared “updates on the palace, upcoming cultural workshops, and an exciting entertainment lineup…” MARCH’S Kamaʻaina Sunday THIS SUNDAY 3/9 FREE for kama’aina (~500 audio tours) & afterwards, the basement WILL be closed for awhile for renovations. https://youtu.be/iU8GEaE9y5o?si=xWhyv4saFqIa2ly7
Hawaiian Kingdom is CLEARLY coming back as evidenced in the GROWING FEATURED Hawaiian ways & events! Mahalo acting Council of Regency et al! Forever grateful! 💗
Meanwhile, Putin is playing wack a mole sending Russian and former Soviet traitors to their grave if they haven’t yet already fled to London. Most people must have forgotten what the capitalist did to Russia in the 90s or who they are but Putin has not and he know exactly what they did. I think Russia should have an idiot law too, and we should revise ours for not just government workers but anyone working in our society. Traitors can take up all kinds of employment to disguise their intent.
Leave Nato, save America and Russia. Damage Europeans losing their wits! We should be learning from the moves of the various heads of state. There is a lot to be learned from the likes of Starmer and Von Der Lyon.
Zaluzhnyi is back on deck with Zelinsky but as ambassador. Them London Boys are back in action with UKs reactivation of Zaluz as Ambassador.
When will the taping of March 6st gathering at Kamehameha Schools be available for those of us who missed?
Kalamai ia’u. I meant March 5th… Māhalo
I think those questions posed at Kamehameha was too much to make it public so they thus decided to keep that presentation private and released the East-West Center one instead. Probably due to the operational security concerns of the Council of Regency in the selling of Hawaiian government bonds for US dollars of no intrinsic value in administering the remedial prescription of the Council to have the laws of war applied to our circumstances which places all under the occupiers rule and rule making power as if they would ever recognize themselves as occupiers.
Especially in light of Duterte’s arrest by the ICC and central banks buying up gold to back their currencies and help stabilize their economies.
Omg, Missouri AG seizing $24 billion from China is a serious no no. After Russia, now China. Who’s next? No country will trust keeping any of their reserves in the US now!
A good thing, imho.
Just another demonstration, for the world to see, of how the US will steal anything it can. This is just truth coming to the surface. Things are progressing as it should. People, especially those whose minds have been colonized/denationalized, need to see our illegal occupier for what it truly is – a thief.
Subjects of the Kingdom need to stop aligning their thoughts and lives with the ambitions of the US and see the benefit of creating a new path for Hawaii.
