"History Comes Alive - Hawaiians In Europe - A Visit With Willy Kauai, PhD"

Between 1880 and 1892 19 Hawaiians selected by King Kalākaua participated in a Hawaiian Youths Abroad program in six different countries around the world. 126 years later, starting in 2018, a group of students from the University of Hawai`i traveled to Europe to retrace the paths of those Hawaiian youths of the late 1800ʻs, researching archives, student journals, museums and historical sites. What they discovered on their journey was amazing evidence of the 19 students as well as the Hawaiian Kingdomʻs rich and proud history.

NOVEMBER FREE HAWAII NEWS - BREAKTHROUGH ON RECOGNITION OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM 

Plus Hawaiians Demand Representation In Expiring US Military Land Lease Negotiations, Also Why Was The Health of Hawaiians Linked To The Stability Of The Hawaiian Kingdom? Then What Inspired Us At The Hawaiian Councilʻs Convention In Tulalip, Washington And A New Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o

The November 2025 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight Friday, November 7th airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com

“In a special report from Nuku`alofa, Tonga, we announce a diplomatic breakthrough recognizing the Hawaiian Kingdom. Not only did the twelve member nations/territories of the Polynesian Leaders Group vote to accept Hawaii as its newest member, but they agreed to recognize the Kingdom of Hawaii rather than Hawaii as the fiftieth US state. This is a huge leap forward for the Hawaiian Islands and we expect others to follow,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.

“Then in our Pacific Way segment both co-host Hinaleimoana Wong and I report on our recent trip to Tulalip, Washington to attend the Hawaiian Councilʻs Native Hawaiian Convention. We  discuss what inspired us the most and report on the many different side events which made this convention so impactful.”

“Also on the November Free Hawaii News we cover the latest developments on US military use of Hawaiian Kingdom lands for war practice. In an historic unified statement, thirty-seven Hawaiian groups are demanding full oversight and representation in all upcoming negotiations of expiring US military land leases,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

Plus we report and whatʻs behind the Office of Hawaiian Affairs attempt to revive a push for US federal recognition and we also interview Hawaiian historian Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp on why the health of Hawaiians was directly linked to the stability of the Hawaiian Kingdom, plus we feature a brand new Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o segment.

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.

HARD AT WORK AT THE UNITED NATIONS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These pictures are from my recent visit to New York 3 weeks ago. This is the office I use when I'm in New York.

With me is Rev. Liberato Bautista who has been the main representative for the Methodist Church to the UN for about 24 years, about as long as we've been friends. He is also the outgoing President of CoNGO and has led that august organization to new levels of influence.

 

I just arrived back this morning for the General Assembly and Board Meeting of the "Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations" (CoNGO for short). It is an organization of over 600 Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) from around the world that interact at a direct, high level basis with the United Nations on a wide variety of issues.

 

This week, the CoNGO General Assembly will be approving the formation of a new substantive committee that I've been working for nearly three years to put together. We expect this new committee (and its sub-committees) to have a profound effect on the fulfillment of the UN's mission.

 

Also, here are some pics of recent meetings with Pacific ambassadors to the UN.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - OCTOBER 2025

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are we doing at the UN?

I've been traveling for the past seven weeks. First, I attended the 54th Pacific Islands Forum in Honiara, Solomon Islands; then the 60th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland; then the opening of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York City, then the Native Hawaiian Convention in Tulalip, Washington State. Then I headed back to the Pacific to attend the Polynesian Leaders Group in Nuku’alofa, the Kingdom of Tonga. And now I’m headed back to the UN in New York City.

Because so much of my work is at the United Nations, people often assume that we are trying to join the UN. Just to make it clear. We are NOT advocating for and HAVE NEVER advocated for Hawaii to join the UN. That is something that will have to be decided by the independent Hawaiian nation once it is reinstated and reactivated.

ALSO... to be clear... although I am personally involved with helping other peoples and nations with decolonization, the Hawaiian Kingdom's situation is very different from them, and our path does not lie with the UN’s decolonization process. So, we are not trying to join the UN, and we are not trying to utilize the UN's Decolonization process.

WHAT WE ARE DOING is working to overcome two gross errors made by the UN General Assembly that made Hawaii captive to the US. FIRST, in 1946 when the UN bought into the hoax that Hawaii was a Territory of the US and eligible for decolonization. SECOND in 1959 when the UN bought into the hoax that Hawaii had been decolonized and became a US “State”.

That means, since 1946, the UN has been complicit in the suppression of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign State; the destruction of Hawaiian nationality; the forced imposition of US citizenship; the displacement and impoverishment of the Hawaiian people; the pillaging of lands and resources; the infliction of foreign economic, social and cultural systems; and turning a peaceful, neutral country into a menacing military stronghold, placing the people of Hawaii in danger of annihilation by enemies of the US.

Although this was probably not the UN’s intent as it is totally contrary to the primary tenets of the UN Charter, nevertheless, by failing to do its due diligence regarding the improper plebiscite and consequent incorporation of Hawaii as state of the US in 1959, the UN became complicit in the US’ illegal occupation of the Hawaiian Islands.

The UN’s acceptance of the United States’ claim that Hawaii became a State of the US, constitutes an internationally recognized settlement of the political status of the Hawaiian Islands. This “political settlement” repeatedly blocks (as we have experienced) all legal challenges of obvious illegal acts by the US, such as the illegal overthrow of 1893, the illegal annexation of 1898 and the illegal incorporation of Hawaii as “The 50th State” in 1959.

So, what we’ve been doing at the UN is working to remove that “political settlement” roadblock by getting the General Assembly to the point of admitting that, ‘Oops, we made a mistake’, and rescinding its validations of the US hoax.

The Hawaiian Kingdom is calling upon the United Nations, its Member States, and the rest of the international community to stop enabling the United States’ illegal occupation of the Hawaiian Islands by disavowing recognition of the US “State of Hawaii” as a legitimate entity and to recognize the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign, independent, peaceful, neutral country. Thus, Hawaii can return to normalizing and resuming its relationships to the nations of the world.

WALLS THAT BUILD THEMSELVES ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"

"Stones That Speak - A Visit With Keahi Pi`i`ohi`a"

If someone told you stones can speak youʻd might say they have rocks in their head. We spent an afternoon with Hawaiian rock wall masonry expert Keahi Pi`i`ohi`a who showed us that pōhaku, the Hawaiian word for lava stone or rock, not only speak but actually have distinct personalities. Keahi showed us the ancient Hawaiian art of building walls without mortar by allowing each pōhaku to say where it wants to go in a wall. Sound crazy? Join us in our visit with Keahi Pi`i`ohi`a as he shows us why stones are not inanimate objects at all but instead can smile, speak & might even be a long lost relative - Watch It Here
