Maui Torch March Starts Tonight
Beginning tonight at 11 PM the people of Maui will gather at Moku`ula (Malu`uluolele Park), Lahaina to embark on a 200 mile journey circumnavigating the Island of Maui.
Marchers anticipate completing the journey on Friday, February 27, 2009 at Moku`ula with closing protocol and the handing-off of the torches for its finally journey.
A Copy of the Appeal (Hawai`i v. Office of Hawaiian Affairs, No. 07-1372, Oct. 1, 2008) to the US Supreme Court will be burned and used to ignite the Torches that will be carried across and through all the districts of Maui.
The Torches represent the awakening and enlightenment of knowledge to what is really and truly taking place for all Kanaka Maoli (native Hawaiians.)
· Lack of adequate Health Care for native Hawaiian Beneficiaries.
· Lack of Housing (homelessness) for native Hawaiian Beneficiaries.
· Lack of Funding for Education for native Hawaiian Beneficiaries
All people of Maui are welcome and encouraged to join the marchers as we journey through the many ahupua`a or districts of the island.
