FREE HAWAI`I PROGRESS AT THE UNITED NATIONS ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"
"Free Hawai`i Progress At The UN - A Visit With Leon Siu"
How is it possible that many in Hawai`i think of themselves as US citizens & Hawai`i as the 50th US state when history clearly shows otherwise? To help us answer that we spent a morning with Leon Siu who as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Hawaiian Kingdom, spends a lot of time at the United Nations dealing with this very issue. He explained to us that years ago the US imposed a process throughout Hawai`i that most would consider political brainwashing. Naturally we wanted to know how this happened and how to end it. If youʻve ever wondered what it will take to end the illegal US occupation in Hawai`i, then donʻt miss our fascinating visit with Leon as he explains easy to understand answers to a very complex issue - Watch It Here

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - MAY 2025
Adopted or Kidnapped?
They told us we were adopted, but then we found out we were kidnapped.
This analogy plainly describes the crime that was committed against multiple generations of Hawaiian people. It also reveals to the nature and severity of the abuse and injury of the crime. The taking of Hawaii by the United States is not a trivial misunderstanding in semantics; it is a monstrous crime.
In essence, we Hawaiians were stolen as children and raised in the house of our captors, believing for decades that the U.S., like a parent, had our best interest at heart.
It wasn’t until the 1970s that questions arose and the “adoption” narrative began to unravel. Why were Hawaiian families being evicted from lands that they had lived on and worked for generations? Why was the US Navy still bombing Kahoʻolawe? Why were Hawaiians still not receiving lands designated form them since 1920? Why was our language and culture disappearing, except for use as window dressing for the tourist industry? Why did we revere George Washinton and Abraham Lincoln and pledge our allegiance to America as our mother country? Why did we speak, think and act like Americans?
So, what happens to those who were told they were adopted, then found out they had been kidnapped? It is hard to believe at first. Then comes the sense of horror and revulsion; that what you thought was true was not real, and those you trusted had been deceitful and used you. Then come the questions of why? Then what to do about fixing it.
Many older Hawaiians struggled over the sense of allegiance. They had lived their lives believing in America and teaching their children to be Americans. Then, suddenly, they were confronted with a group of young Hawaiian activists questioning and challenging the very core of their identity as loyal Americans. For them it was a struggle…
Then there were those suffering with a condition that in the early 1970s phycologists identified as the Stockholm Syndrome, wherein a captive begins to identify closely with his or her captors, as well as with their captor’s agenda and demands.
As the truth became known, is it any wonder that Hawaiians became upset? Is it any wonder that Hawaiians were revulsed by the notion of going back to live under the same roof as their captor/abuser? Is it any wonder Hawaiians called out for justice?
Is it any wonder that many have a strong aversion to return to captivity, and saw those who are negotiating with the captors for tribal status under “(US) federal recognition” as betrayers and collaborators?
And as for those who were born in the 1970s and later, they grew up in a time when the truth of Hawaiʻi’s situation was not only exposed and openly debated, but the remedy hashed out and identified — Independence.
That is why Hawaiians have been insisting that the only acceptable solution to the unlawful, prolonged U.S. occupation of Hawaiʻi, and the path to true expression of Hawaiian identity — Aloha ʻĀina — is through the restoration of Hawaii as an independent country. Recent events are indicating this concept is starting to become mainstream.
Aloha ʻĀina —
“Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani
Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono.
The sovereignty of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.

MAY FREE HAWAII NEWS - VICTORY IN MAUI COURT PROTECTING HAWAIIAN ANCIENT BURIALS
Also Find Out Why Oceania Wants To Bring Hawaii Back Into The Fold, Then Can Hawaii Ride A Wave Of Freedom At The United Nations Making A Free Hawaii Easier Than You Think, Plus What The Cook Islands Can Teach Hawaii About Tourism & Our Popular Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o
The May 2025 “Free Hawaii News” debuting this Friday night, May 2nd
airs at our new time of 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com
“The highest kuleana or responsibility that Hawaiians have is to mālama or care for iwi kupuna or the buried bones of their ancestors. As Hawaiians it is an essential connection to the `aina or land and to who they are. Thatʻs why the recent court ruling which states that the state of Hawaii mishandled its archeological process which failed to protect iwi kupuna is being hailed as a long overdue victory by lineal descendants,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.
“Also in our May show we interview Hawaiian activist Pōkā Laenui in an eye-opening discussion about why achieving a Free Hawaii may be easier than a lot of people think. With the upheavals that the Trump administration has caused in the US, many are now realizing that itʻs a wake-up call on how we need to prepare for an independent Hawaii,” remarked Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.
Leon Siu also reports on how Hawaii could ride a wave of freedom at the United Nations, what the Cook Islands can teach Hawaii about tourism and we also have a brand new segment of our popular Kumu Hinaʻs mana`o.
Free Hawaii News presents Hawaiian or kanaka maoli perspectives on a broad range of issues and topics affecting the Hawaiian Islands, the Pacific and the world.
Brought to you by the Koani Foundation, Free Hawaii News airs every month on `Ōlelo Television on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and on stations around the world as well as online on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, X, BlueSky and over thirty different Facebook pages and other online sites.
Hinaleimoana Wong is a kumu hula, filmmaker, cultural activist, Hawaiian language speaker, preservationist and community leader. She has served as a member of the O`ahu Island Burial Council.
Leon Siu has for many years served as Foreign Minister of the Hawaiian Kingdom. He is active in that role at the United Nations in both New York City and Geneva, Switzerland. Besides being a diplomat, he is also an award-winning musician, composer and political analyst.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - APRIL 2025
King Kalākaua – the Visionary
Watching the Merrie Monarch Festival reminds me of what an amazing visionary King Kalākaua was. Not only did he champion the revival of Hawaiʻi’s proud culture and traditions, he was an innovator; the first head of state to circle the globe promoting trade, parity and friendship. He was quick to embrace and apply advanced technology to his kingdom, installing modern marvels such as electric lights and the telephone at ʻIolani Palace years before they appeared at the White House or at any other capitol.
By the mid-19th Century, the major European powers had recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign, independent state under international law, enjoying bi-lateral and multi-lateral equal treaties with the sovereign nations of Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. The Hawaiian Kingdom was a member of the Universal Postal Union; and had over 130 diplomatic posts (embassies and consulates) around the world.
King Kalākaua pursued creating a confederation of Polynesian nations for mutual support and to stave off encroachment by European colonial powers. Unfortunately, by the end of the 19th Century, the Pacific Islands, even the sovereign, independent Hawaiian Kingdom, fell under foreign domination.
But since the latter half of the 20th Century, most of the Pacific nations became sovereign and self-governing. The supreme irony is that the Hawaiian Kingdom remains a nation in captivity. The U.S. used the same UN decolonization process that set the rest of the Pacific free to deviously hijack the Hawaiian Islands, calling it “The 50th State of the United States”.
One of the saddest results is the glaring absence of Hawaiʻi from being politically engaged with our Pacific Island family. Organizations such as the Pacific Islands Forum and the Polynesian Leaders’ Group are addressing critical Pacific concerns and advancing Pacific positions and solutions. Hawaiʻi’s voice in these Pacific matters has been suppressed, hijacked by the US State Department in Washington, D.C., and driven by America’s interests and priorities.
As we draw closer to liberating our country from the U.S., efforts are underway to rejoin our Pacific Islands family and to engage in the critical discourse affecting our Ocean and the Planet. We also seek our family’s kōkua to sway the international community to support the reinstatement of our sovereign, independent nation.
Nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, King Kalākaua cast the vision and set the course for us to follow today to rejoin our ocean ʻohana to manifest a free Hawaiʻi in an Ocean of Peace…

"On The Brink Of Extinction - A Visit With Rick Barboza"
We usually think of the lush tropical foliage growing everywhere as how Hawai`i has always looked, but when we met Rick Barboza we found out how wrong that is. Rick, co-owner of Hui Kū Maoli Ola, a plant nursery dedicated to restoring Hawai`iʻs native plants, surprised us by revealing there have been three separate Hawai`is over time that had completely different natural environments. During our tour of Hui Kū Maoli Ola, it did not take us long to realize how devastated Hawai`iʻs natural environment has become. Join us in our amazing visit as Rick shows us their one-of-a-kind native plants & explains why the survival of native Hawaiian plants are so important today - Watch It Here
