Focusing on Trauma to Transformation
I can’t wait for January….
Aloha mai kākou!
It is a wonderful thing that you are remembering Lā Kū `Oko`a which was a very important event in the history of our lāhui, but how can you call it today a celebration, since we have lost our independence in 1893 and we can hardly wait to regain it? You should call it instead Remembrance Day of Lā Kū `Oko`a or Lā Kū `Oko`a i ka Ho`omana`o to avoid the sarcastic remarks by non-Hawaiians that the Hawaiians celebrate what they have lost.
Aloha. I mua.

Aloha e János Keoni Samu,
Hawaiʻi did not lose its independence but rather it became occupied by the U.S. And it would not make much sense to call it “Remembrance Day of Lā Kū ʻOkoʻa or Lā Kū ʻOkoʻa i ka Hoʻomanaʻo” because that would be supporting the idea that Hawaiʻi is part of the U.S. It would be like saying Hawaiʻi WAS sovereign and independent, but IS no longer today.
It’s ONLY in recent years that I’ve been seeing content on Hawaiian Kingdom– because of censorship?
Bravo to Dr. Keanu Sai, all other researchers, translators, students & sponsors for aiding the AMAZING RESURGENCE OF TRUTH– and hopeful SOON JUSTICE for Hawaii ne! IMUA! ♡♡♡
