NAUE I KE ALOHA \u02bb\u0100INA!<\/p>\n

A march in celebration of L\u0101 K\u016b\u02bboko\u02bba, Hawaiian Independence Day<\/p>\n

\n8:00am
\nOld Airport to Keauhou Small Boat Harbor<\/p>\n

Hawaiians and supporters across the islands will march on L\u0101 K\u016b\u02bboko\u02bba (Hawaiian Independence Day) on Friday November 28, 2014 in an effort to enhance awareness in our communities and throughout the world about one of the longest standing National Holidays of the Kingdom of Hawai\u02bbi. Marchers will gather at the Old Kona Airport across from Makala Blvd at 7:30am for opening thoughts and pule. The march will begin at 8:00am and will cover approximately eight miles starting from the Old Airport in the ahupua\u02bba of Keahuol\u016b and ending in the ahupua\u02bba of Keauhou at the birth site of Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III).<\/p>\n

In Hawaiian, naue means to march. It also means to move, to shake, to tremble, to vibrate and to quake, as the earth. Aloha \u02bb\u0101ina means love of one\u02bbs land or of one\u02bbs country. It means patriot, a patriot who illustrates a deep love for the land. On this day of national independence, we hope that our l\u0101hui will naue. That is, this march is meant to illustrate a true and deep love that will shake, vibrate, tremble and move our land and people towards our true patriotism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a march of aloha. This is a march of love for our land and love for our country. We march together as one with the hope that our claim to national independence may be seen and heard by our local communities and throughout the world. Aloha \u02bb \u0101ina is alive and it will never die,\u201d says Hawaiian medium preschool teacher and march organizer, Kaho\u02bbokahi Kanuha.<\/p>\n

On July 8, 1842 King Kauikeaouli dispatched three delegates to America and Europe to ultimately secure recognition of Hawaiian independence by the major powers of the world. The Hawaiian Delegation, led by Timoteo Ha\u02bbalilio, was assured independence by the heads of state of the United States, Great Britain and France and on November 28, 1843 the Kingdom of Hawai\u02bbi was officially recognized as an independent country by Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland along with King Louis-Philippe of France through the signing of the Anglo-Franco proclamation at the Court of London, thereby making Hawai\u02bbi the first non-European nation in the world to be recognized as an independent country. L\u0101 K\u016b\u02bboko\u02bba was celebrated throughout the Kingdom of Hawai\u02bbi from 1843 until 1893, when Queen Lili\u02bbuokalani was illegally overthrown on January 17th with the assistance of the US Minister to Hawai\u02bbi, John L. Stevens.<\/p>\n

The United States of America\u2019s only claim to acquiring Hawai\u02bbi is the Newland\u2019s resolution, a joint resolution passed by Congress and signed by President McKinley on July 7, 1898. A joint resolution, though, is limited to United States territory, which Hawai\u02bbi obviously was not and is not a part of. Because a treaty was never ratified between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Hawai\u02bbi, Hawai\u02bbi has been and continues to be an independent country under an illegal and prolonged military occupation by the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Building off of the momentum of the Department of Interior hearings held across the archipelago this summer, unity marches will also be held on the islands of Maui, Moloka\u02bbi and O\u02bbahu to raise awareness in communities about Hawaiian history, our national heritage and of the ever-growing support for a free and independent Hawai\u02bbi.<\/p>\n
