NATIVE HAWAIIAN RALLY PLANNED FOR JAN. 17TH
The Maui News - Letter to the Editor
Wednesday, January 05, 2005
Mahalo to all who called me these past days on behalf of freedom.
I pray also that on Jan. 17 at 11 a.m. in front of Queen Ka'ahumanu Center there will be a massive turnout of Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart holding signs and blowing conch shells letting the world know that we love our nation.
The United States helped restore Iraq after destroying it. It apologized to us but did not keep its word. U.S. officials totally disrespect their own laws and that's a shame.
I love who I am, a kanaka maoli, [Native Hawaiian] and I will continue pursuing our right to exist.
Please come and stand by me at 11 a.m. Jan. 17 in the Sears parking lot area of Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. Call (808) 870-0830 and ask for Braddah K for information. (We also we be remembering the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight for freedom and rights.)
Kenneth K. Ho'opai Jr.
Lahaina
