KNOW YOUR HAWAIIAN HISTORY
Hawaiian Kingdom Historical Facts -
Caucasian plantation owners tried to bring African Americans in to be slaves in Hawai`iʻs plantation fields.
Hawai`iʻs Ali`i were horrified and they passed laws banning slavery throughout the Kingdom.
As a result, when those who were slaves in the US and elsewhere landed in Hawai`i, they walked off the ships as free men, women and children.
Furthermore, arriving in Hawai`i as a result of the whaling and shipping trades people of african descent settled throughout the islands and built lives and businesses in the
Kingdom encountering no hate or prejudice whatsoever.
Hawai`ʻs first school to help educate children who weren't royalty was opened by a black man.
A very important member and lawyer of King Kalākaua's cabinet was black. He also later fought tirelessly to help Queen Lili`uokalani regain control of the Kingdom.
At a time when black people were still considered property in the US and other countries, they came to Hawai`i and prospered. Here they became musicians, educators, poets and more.
In the Hawaiian Kingdom they found freedom.

HINALEIMOANA WONG - COHOST OF FREE HAWAII NEWS TELLS IT LIKE IT IS - WILL YOU FOLLOW HER EXAMPLE?
American construct of democratic and republican philosophy mentality.
Western construct of identity predicated by sex and gender.
Foreign imposed worldview and solutions to problems based on issues brought by foreigners and foreigner ideology.
All of these things do not surmount the fact that I am Kanaka first.
Hawai’i is my mainland and there shall be no other land acknowledged as such in my vocabulary.
My culture requires me to live life according to the Kanaka rightful understanding of aloha.
This also goes for other elements part and parcel of being Kanaka according to Kanaka worldview and value system…NOT a “local” island based understanding of aloha, not a Hawaiian American English only speaking understanding of aloha, but the understanding of ALOHA through the lens of the language that I speak fluently learned from first language speakers.
My views are not solely my own. Sadly, I share these values with a very marginal population now as too many of my people have passed on to Pō, while others have fled to “cheaper living” America, and others remain enveloped and some consumed into the American imposed reality of living that we have been forced to accept.
To all of you reading this…just know…I am Kanaka first. American imposed realities won’t stop me from supporting a fellow Hawaiian if I feel compelled to do so.
Fair warning.
Don’t ever come for me in my own homeland.
You all should be aware that it’s how I feel about my world.
And for the rest of you Kanaka…please…try to be Kanaka first before being American…and do please try to do better.
The survival of our rightful existence as Kanaka depends on it.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - JUNE 2025
Hawaiian or American?
On January 17, 1993 at the Onipaʻa rally protesting the 100th anniversary of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Haunani Kay Trask boldly declared, “We are not Americans! We are not Americans! We are not Americans! We are not Americans! We are Hawaiians! We will die as Hawaiians! We will never be Americans!” It was a shocking line-in-the-sand challenge, a head-on confrontation of our identity in crisis. Over the past 32 years, many have cone to understand and embrace our identity and our legacy.
I haven’t seen it yet, but friends say that in the Disney film, Lilo and Stich, when the CIA agent tells Lilo that their main job is protect Americans, Lilo says, “But we’re Americans too!” My friends said there was a noticeable groan from the audience. Some people booed. My friends said, that one line ruined the whole film for them. Apparently, the Disney writers (and local script consultants?) “didn’t get the memo” and completely missed that crucial distinction… We are not Americans!
The point is, 30 years ago, 20 years ago and even 10 years ago, the average Hawaii movie-goer would have completely missed that glaring error. But today, Lilo, a bright young Hawaiian tita, would have known she is not an American and would thanked the CIA agent for acknowledging that fact.
Having been in the movement from the early 70s, I am amazed how far we’ve come. I’ve noticed that the term “mainland” when referring to America, is being used less frequently. The McKinley statue (and the name of the school), are now regarded as offensive icons of the hewa (wrong, bad) of the U.S. presence in in Hawaii.
The “Overthrow”, the “Annexation” and “Statehood” are seen as illegal acts. Hawaii’s “relationship” with the U.S. is now called, “a proplonged illegal occupation”; and an “international criminal enterprise,”
Current problems like poverty, homelessness, are seen as the result of the the Illegal Occupation. Nation-to-nation (federal tribal recognition) is out, full independence is in.
What we see happening is not just reclaiming our true Hawaiian identity, it is decoupling from the fake American one of dependency and destruction. The direction for Hawaii is to decouple from the US and make our own way into the future.
Aloha Aina, Kapu Aloha, Malama Aina, Kuleana, Pono, Aloha I Kekahi I Kekahi… These are not just awesome words and slogans. This is who we are… Hawaiians. These are the foundational principles of our nation rising.
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.

JUNE FREE HAWAII NEWS - CAN HAWAII SHOW THE WORLD HOW TO FEED ITSELF?
Will The United Nations Confront US Human Rights Violations In Hawaii? Plus How Lahaina Is Helping Residents Get Their Homes Rebuilt. Then, Whatʻs Even More Important Than Bloodline To Be A Leader In Hawaii? & Our Popular Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o
The June 2025 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com
“Hawai`i currently imports ninety percent of its food which makes it highly dependent on the US and other parts of the world for survival. Yet before western contact in the mid 1700ʻs, Hawai`i grew all of its food with the population of the Hawaiian Islands being roughly the same as today. Now, thereʻs a movement to restore throughout Hawaii the system which produced that food sovereignty and experts from around the world are beginning to take notice. In our June Free Hawaii News we cover what that system is and how once again it can become operational,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.
“Also in our June show we go to Maui to discover how Lahaina fire survivors will be able to successfully bridge significant financial gaps between the amount of their fire insurance settlements versus the actual cost of rebuilding their homes with the help and guidance of the Lahaina Community Land Trust.”
“Then we take a look at how the United Nations can confront and address longstanding US human rights violations here in Hawaii and the path to do so,” remarked Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.
Plus we report on the one thing even more important than a Hawaiianʻs genealogy that could qualify them for leadership status, and we have a brand new segment of our ever 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, Substack, 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 in the past 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.
