March in support of Kamehameha for Hawaiians! Aug 20, 2005 - San Francisco CA

Ron — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 06:26:12 GMT

Aloha Kakou,
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS EMAIL, THIS IS IMPORTANT NEWS
REGARDING THE RECENT RULING AGAINST KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS.

To all my family and friends, please show your continued support for
the Hawaiian culture by attending this protest AND/OR forwarding this
email to anyone you know that is a supporter. The following email is
from my Kumu, Kawika Alfiche, Director of the APOP Hawaiian Cultural
Center.

Mahalo nui for your support!

Julie "Apanalei"

aloha mai kakou -

I'm asking you, your family, your friends, and all supporters of the
Hawaiian culture to be there for this, for the support of Kamehameha
schools, Hawaiian homesteads, Ali`i lands and endless amount of wrong
doings that we have endured. At this point it's not political, it's
making yet another stand to what's "Right is Right" and what's "Wrong
is Wrong!!"

100 years ago the over throw of the monarchy - and now this! what's
next?
please be there to support me, your kumu, all people Hawaiian, and all
lovers of Hawaiian things. If you hula, you get something from what
our ancestors left us - this is one way to reciprocate and ho`omana
our kupuna and our keiki.

For more details regarding this ruling please visit:

MARCH/RALLY DETAILS:

St. (cross street is Mission) in San Francisco.

The "Civic Center" station for BART and Muni will get you to Market

there should be ample parking in the city lots on Mission and 5th St.
We will march FROM the Ninth Circuit and END AT U.N. PLAZA , corner of
8th and Market. This venue can accommodate a much larger crowd, and
because of its location in the heart of San Francisco, we are more
likely to garner attention.

WHAT: Protest march and rally in support of Kamehameha schools and all
things Hawaiian. - Hula/Speeches/Pule - Organized mele/oli/hula (in
the next blog all of the mele). This is not a show/performance - the

Hawaiians," "Justice for Hawaiians," "Hawaiian Unity," and the like.
We will have flyers from the Kamehameha Schools with educational
information about the admissions policy to hand out to media and
interested passersby. Let's make sure the judiciary (many of whom
likely live in the Bay Area) have a completely positive impression of
us when the full panel convenes to reconsider Doe vs. Kamehameha.

I've attached the standard mele/oli/hula from past protests - please
by all means, if you'd like to take on some kuleana (responsibility)
please do so...main thing is please spread the word to everybody to be
there - please forward emails to me so i can compile list:

Uncles and Aunties who are a part of this list...when we have a list
put together can you please review and make additions etc....

There will be other meetings outside of ours on aug 17, we are trying
to find different piko around Kaleponi (Hayward, walnut creek, sac
etc...) please let me know if you are going to have a meeting - I'll
forward again the Itin. sheet, mele sheet and Protocol sheet - mahalo

In conjunction with the Aloha Festival, He'e Nalu O Marin will be hosting the 11th annual Round the Rock Alcatraz Challenge Outrigger Canoe Race. Women, men and novice crews in six man outrigger canoes will face the challenging currents, winds and the beauty of the San Francisco Bay. Come join us for the racing, or to view the activities from the excellent vantage points of the nearby piers and breakwaters.

Mahu?

eiburamu — Tue, 25 Jan 2005 19:49:59 GMT

Hi;

I'm looking for some Tahitian/Mo'orean Mahu with which to conduct some interviews for an anthropological publication. If you know any who would like to do this either in email or over the phone would you please let me know in a personal message?
I would be most grateful.

Je cherche quelques Mahus Tatitiens/Mo'oreans afin de mener des entreteins avec eux pour un publication anthropologique. Si vous en connaissez, envoyez-moi un message sur Tribe SVP. Je serais tout a fait reconnaissant pour votre aide!
