DECEMBER FREE HAWAII NEWS - WHY ARE HAWAIIAN ANCESTRAL REMAINS BEING DUG UP FOR YOGA RETREAT?
Also The Official End Of US Military Bombing In Makua Valley, How Oceania Is Leading The Way On Climate Change, Why Hawaiians Identify As American Instead Of Pacific Islanders & Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o
The December “Free Hawaii News” airing tonight, December 6th at
6 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu and online at http://FreeHawaiiNews.com reports on iwi kupuna, or Hawaiian ancestral remains being desecrated on Kaua`i for vacation homes and a yoga retreat.
“The area of Naue on Kaua`i is well known to have numerous burial sites which are considered Hawaiian cultural cemeteries. So why is it that people move to Hawai`i and build homes or businesses in these areas and disrespect our ancestors and their remains by digging them up?” asks Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong, a former member of the O`ahu Island Burial Council. “How would they like it if we dug up their ancestors graves in cemeteries? To make matters worse, the bodies of those unearthed have been contaminated by a leaking cess pool. Then after promising to stop, they went right ahead and dug up more. Such disrespect for our culture and deceased family members.”
The December Free Hawaii News features a report on celebrating the official end of US military bombing in O`ahuʻs Makua Valley and also why Oceania is leading the way on dealing with climate change. “I urge everyone to watch our segment report on Oceaniaʻs actions and advocacy at the United Nations regarding climate change. Island nations are the first to feel the impacts of climate change and therefore are first seeking to stop its catastrophic effects,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.
Plus we cover why Hawaiians identify as Americans rather than Pacific Islanders and also our latest popular 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, Pinterest, X, over thirty different Facebook pages and other online sites.

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.

A SAD ENDING
Achieving recognition of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of France as an independent country was a tremendous achievement by the team led by Timoteo Ha`alilio.
After gaining recognition of Hawaiian independence, Ha`alilio and William Richards headed home. But sadly, when their ship finally arrived in Honolulu on 23 March 1845 only Richards disembarked to carry sad news to Kamehameha III, Kauikeaouli.
Timoteo Haʻalilio the close friend and confidante of the King, the one most trusted by the King, and the one who served his country with great honor had died at sea on his way home on the 3rd of December 1844. He was 36 years of age.
All Hawai`i wailed and mourned for the loss of this great champion of their Kingdom.
Today we honor Timoteo Ha`alilio for his service, his grace, his humility and his ultimate sacrifice in securing the recognition of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign, independent country.

HOMELESS NO MORE ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"
"A Home Forever - A Visit With Blanche McMillan"
Most homeless shelters are a temporary place for those without a roof over their head. Things are quite the opposite at Hui Mahi`ai `Aina run by Blanche McMillan in Waimanalo on O`ahuʻs windward side. Blanche, who by any standards is a human dynamo, builds tiny houses by the dozens and invites local homeless people to move in and stay forever, which makes them no longer homeless. We wanted to see this for ourselves, so one morning we went for a visit. Join us in our amazing time there with Blanche and the residents of Hui Mahi`ai `Aina where everyone is safe, happy, loved and one big ohana - Watch It Here

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - NOVEMBER 2024
Celebrating La Ku'oko'a – Independence Day
On November 28, 1843 (181 years ago) the Kingdom of France and the United Kingdom formally recognized the Sandwich Islands (the Hawaiian Kingdom) as a sovereign, independent nation-state. In Hawaii, King Kamehameha III declared the date a national holiday and La Ku'oko'a was joyously celebrated as a holiday in the Kingdom for over 50 years!
That is, until 1895 when it so happened the American holiday “Thanksgiving Day” fell on November 28. The usurping “Republic of Hawaii”, trying to curry favor for annexation, made the American Thanksgiving Day, the national holiday instead of La Ku'oko'a.
From then on, under increasing American domination, the Hawaiian Kingdom high holiday of La Ku'oko'a was overshadowed, fell by the wayside and lost to memory. But about 30 years ago an intrepid group of Aloha ʻĀina (Hawaii patriots), led by Papa Kekuni Blaisdell started to revive the observance of La Kuʻokoʻa, along with La Hoʻihoʻi Ea which had also been forgotten. Ever since, these holidays have been increasingly celebrated with activities and events in several communities throughout the Pae ʻĀina, our nation.
It so happens that this year, the American Thanksgiving Day falls on November 28, the day of La Ku'oko'a… Let's see if we can turn this 181st anniversary into an opportunity to increase and spread awareness of the significance of La Ku’oko'a among our friends and families…
This is the perfect opportunity for those who celebrate the tradition of Thanksgiving to take a few minutes that day to share with our families and friends about the significance of La Ku'oko'a, Hawaii's Independence Day and to give thanks that our country survived despite 131 years of efforts to erase our true identity and suppress our existence.
Telling our stories like La Ku’oko'a will help to awaken in our people a sense of pride in our heritage and help fuel the vision of Hawaii as a vibrant independent country!
This is an opportunity to effectively teach more of our 'ohana, in the intimacy of our homes, about the story of Hawaii's Independence Day and that, because of the wisdom and courage of Queen Liliʻuokalani and our kūpuna who stood in solidarity with her, that we are positioned and empowered to bring our country out of captivity!
In this intimate setting with loved ones all over the islands and, indeed, all over the world, we can reach more people than a series of public rallies. And what if families posted a shout-out to La Kuʻokoʻa on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, etc? Every time we tell our country's story, it affirms who we are; it becomes more personal; it becomes our story… and the fervor for restoration of our nation spreads.
“Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani
