To the Council of Elders and All First-People of Yakama of Turtle Island -
My name is Foster Ampong from the Island of Maui, Hawaiian Islands of the Pacific. I am writing to extend my sincere apology to the Yakama people of Turtle Island for the attempt by the Hawaii State Government to dump Hawai`i's trash thousands of miles away on someone elses' lands.
Like myself, many native Hawaiians throughout these islands and abroad are not only embarrassed, we are greatly offended by this insulting and perverse behavior by officials of the state of Hawai`i.
For the sake of clarity, I would like to take this time to point out a few important facts.
The officials of the state of Hawai`i and those working, be they elected/appointed/hired are not representative of the first people of these Hawai`i Islands of the Pacific Ocean.
They are in fact official representatives of an occupying government on lands of an independently Sovereign, foreign country to the United States of America.
E kala mai i na tupuna i hala i na tupuna i`ola na po`e o ka `aina o Yakama. (My most sincere and deepest apology to your elders of the past and of the living and all the first people of the lands of Yakama).
