"Pioneers Of Kahikinui - A Visit With Donna Sterling"
When we met Donna Sterling at Kahikinui in southeast Maui, we discovered that while itʻs one of the largest tracts of undeveloped land in all Hawai`i, during ancient times it was home to a large population of Hawaiians. Because much skill and hard work are required to live in such a dry lava landscape, only fifteen homestead families currently live there, of which Donna is proudly one. Our afternoon visit with her made us quickly realize why she lives in this very special place. Donʻt miss our visit with Donna as she reveals how beautiful and historic Kahikinui really is - Watch It Here

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - MARCH 2025
US Tariffs and Regime Change…
Besides being the trigger for the sugar planters’ hijacking of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the McKinley Tariffs of 1890 also was a major factor in diverting President Cleveland from restoring Queen Liliuokalani and the de juré government of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
You see, when the hijacking occurred, Benjamin Harrison was still the US President. But he had lost re-election and was in what is called a “lame duck” period (like Biden was from November 6, 2024 to January 20, 2025 until Trump was inaugurated).
Harrison fast-tracked the “treaty of annexation”, signing it as soon as the representatives of the so-called Provisional Government from Hawaii could get to Washington, D.C. which was two weeks after the coup. The treaty was rushed to the US Senate for ratification (advice and consent). But before the Senate could do the deed, on March 4, 1893, Grover Cleveland was inaugurated as the US President (his second, non-consecutive term – sound familiar?).
In 1887, during his first term as president Grover Cleveland had hosted Queen Kapiʻolani and Princess Lili’uokalani when they were on their way to attend Queen Victoria’s jubilee celebration in London. Cleveland knew something was wrong, so his first significant act in his second term as President was to withdraw the Hawaii treaty of annexation from the Senate’s ratification process.
Cleveland then ordered an investigation of what happened in Hawaii, and 8 months later, sent a scathing message to Congress with his findings saying that US officials in Hawaii had overstepped their authority and committed an act of war against a friendly, sovereign nation. Furthermore, Cleveland concluded the US had both a legal and a moral obligation to assist in restoring Queen Lili’uokalani and the lawful, constitutional government of the Hawaiian Kingdom. An agreement for that restoration was reached between President Cleveland and Queen Lili’uokalani.
Unfortunately, Cleveland turned the matter over to Congress to execute and resolve so he could fully focus on America’s crisis of acute recession and bloody labor riots (greatly exacerbated by the infamous McKinley Tariffs of 1890). But Congress failed to act on the Cleveland/Lili’uokalani Agreement and when Cleveland left office in 1897, and William McKinley, a rabid imperialist and devotee of “Manifest Destiny” took the helm, his priorities as President were to forcibly expel Spain from the Americas (and the Pacific); to take Spain’s colonies; and to grab control of the Hawaiian Islands. A year later, McKinley and his cronies, faked the “annexation” of Hawaii claiming “military necessity” to fight the Spanish-American War.
McKinley’s fake annexation of Hawaii — and getting away with it — was the genesis of (and template) for the nasty American foreign policy habit of disruption and regime change to bully small countries into submission to America’s greedy ambitions.
Were it not for the McKinley Tariffs of 1890, the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom might have been averted, Cleveland might have restored the Hawaiian Kingdom government, and the trajectory of American imperialism and its toxic effects on today’s global stage might have been altered …

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - MARCH 2025
Tariffs and the Overthrow…
U.S. President Trump’s recent announcements on raising tariffs is sending shockwaves through the international trade community. Tariffs not only have a profound effect on commerce and economics, but it can greatly affect the political health and status of nations.
What we are seeing today is a chilling, real-time reminder of the scenario that led to the “overthrow” of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893…
Here’s what happened. The huge influx of people triggered by the 1849 California Gold Rush created a huge demand for sugar in California. Ideally situated to meet that demand, the fledgling Hawaii sugar companies rapidly expanded putting thousands of acres into production and bringing in thousands of laborers from China. Then, ten years later, the American Civil War broke out. The Southern sugar-producing states seceded from the Union cutting off the Northern sugar consuming states from their supply of the sweet stuff. The Hawaii sugar planters stepped up to fill the need and the Hawaii sugar business exploded exponentially.
But after the Civil War as the Southern sugar returned to market, and tariffs on imports from foreign countries like the Hawaiian Kingdom began to be levied to protect American sugar production, the Hawaiian government and Hawaii’s sugar planters had to constantly negotiate with the US to keep tariff down to maintain higher market prices. Sometimes they succeeded, sometimes they did not.
To stop the roller-coaster of boom or bust, the sugar planters, the shipping industry, the purveyors of goods, the banks, etc., mostly owned and run by foreigners, came to the conclusion that the best way to keep their profits up, would be to have Hawaii annexed to the United States. If Hawaii was part of the US, there’d be no more tariffs and the rich would get richer and richer.
The problem they had was that the Monarchs, King Kalakaua and later, Queen Liliuokalani, and the Hawaiian people would have nothing to do with such a traitorous scheme — trading the sovereignty of their country so that a few rich and obnoxious haole could get richer and more obnoxious.
In 1887 the annexationists forced King Kalakaua to accept the infamous Bayonet Constitution, named for the manner in which it was obtained. This gave more governing power to the annexationists and reduced the power of the monarchs and the Hawaiian people.
The tipping point was the U.S. Congress’ passage of the Tariff Act of 1890, commonly called the McKinley Tariff… (Yes, that McKinley, who seven years later became the US President, and eight years later carried out the fake annexation of Hawaii). The McKinley Tariff greatly reduced all tariffs of foreign goods to practically zero… except for sugar from the Hawaiian Kingdom. This enraged the Hawaii sugar planters and deepened their resolve to annex the Hawaiian Islands to the United States, which they caried out three years later in collusion with the US military.
The taking of the Hawaiian Kingdom was fueled by sheer greed. More money and power for the sugar/commerce industry in Hawaii and an ideal military operations base for the US in the Pacific.
