"The People On The Sidewalk" Protest Actions Of Grassroots Institute In Honolulu
Here Is What They Had To Say -
"Aloha Tenants of the Interstate Building.
This morning, members of the Hawaiian community are gathering outside your workplaces for a single purpose - to shine a light on an organization housed here that is working to undermine and erode Native Hawaiian rights...
...The Grassroot Institute, both corporately and via its members and affiliates, is part of a reactionary movement to expropriate the collective inheritance of the indigneous peoples of Hawai`i.
In so doing, they have misused the grand language of the U.S. civil rights movement to facilitate their goals, while continuing the deplorable tradition of the jingoists, the yellow journalists, and the annexationists of the 19th century.
...It’s our sincere hope that our presence here today does not hinder your daily business. Our intent is to educate the general public, and to defend our heritage.
Thank you for your patience."
Aloha Aina,
The People On the Sidewalk
