Do Hawaiians Have More Power Over Their Lands Since The Lahaina Fires? Also, Did The US Do Hawaii A Favor By Occupying It? Plus Do Your Ancestors Speak Through You? How Can Solving We Vs. Me Return Hawaiian Values? And A Timeline Of The Invasion And Overthrow Of The Hawaiian Kingdom Government You Wonʻt Want To Miss. All This & More Plus Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o.

The September 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight, Friday, September 4th airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com

“Last month we passed the three year mark since the Lahaina fires. Do Hawaiians have any more power now over their lands than before? For years the problem has been outsiders and profit-driven individuals beholden to the American system extracting value for themselves out of our `aina or land. To find out what progress has been made we checked in with Autumn Ness and Kapali Keahi of the Lahaina Community Land Trust and what they said frankly surprised us,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

“Also on the September Free Hawaii News, we interview Hawaiian elite athlete and master martial artist Dr. Kumu Michelle Manu, PhD about how we as Hawaiians can open our listening and allow our ancestors to speak through us,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu. “We urge everyone not to miss this.”

Plus Hawaiian historian and writer Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp delves into the often heard excuse that the US did everyone a favor by occupying the Hawaiian Islands before Russia, China, or Japan could. He shows why thatʻs false and only the US had plans to invade and topple the Hawaiian Kingdom government.

Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu then presents a not to be missed timeline of the invasion and overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom government.  And also this month we debut a brand new 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.

“Restoring Hawai`iʻs Coral Reefs - A Visit With Alika Garcia"

For years, Alika Garcia was a fisherman on the ocean and during that time one thing kept bugging him. He realized that in fishing, he was taking from the ocean, but he was never giving anything back. And thatʻs how Kuleana Coral Restoration, a group of fishermen, surfers, and ocean advocates working to restore and protect Hawai`iʻs coral reefs, was born. As he told us, what happens to the fish in the ocean directly affects what happens to us. Join us in our visit along the beautiful west coast of O`ahu as he explains why the health of Hawai`iʻs reefs are connected to the health of our people - Watch It Here

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - AUGUST 2026

 

 

 

 

 

 

State Ignores Its Biggest Holiday 

As the Hawaiian Kingdom’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, I constantly get announcements, pictures and videos from countries celebrating their Independence Day. It is usually the country’s most important holiday. Since 1843 the Hawaiian Kingdom has celebrated its Independence on two days, Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea (July 31) and Lā Kūʻokoʻa (November 28). But the State of Hawaii is different.

On August 21, 1959 when the Hawaiian Islands purportedly became the “50th State of the United States”, Hawaii erupted with dancing in the streets, parties, news coverage, speeches and fireworks at Iolani Palace.

But today, 67 years later, other than state and county workers having the day off, and token ‘Statehood Sales’ by a few stores, there is no wide-spread celebration or even acknowledgement of what should be the State’s most important holiday — Statehood Day.

The last real celebration was in 2009. It was the “50th Anniversary of statehood”. Fearing counter demonstrations by Hawaiian sovereignty activists, the state-appointed commission to coordinate the jubilee celebration, downplayed the event reducing it to… a closed-door joint session of the legislature; a few TV and radio public-service announcements; a few lack-luster speeches and proclamations; and a by-invitation-only conference at the convention center to “envision the next 50 years”.

Meanwhile, advocates for Hawaiʻi’s independence conducted numerous, highly public, media-grabbing events exposing the “State of Hawaii” for the fake that it is, hijacking the State’s sorry events and generating news stories about the State’s strangely reluctant celebration in over 130 mentions in papers wire services and broadcasts around the world (including the New York Times, USA Today, Reuters, AP, and so forth).

The 2009 50th Anniversary Celebration was such a debacle that the State never mounted another official celebration.

It’s the same with another major event that is ignored by the State of Hawaii: August 12, the so-called Annexation Day. That is the day in 1893 that the Republic of Hawaii (a fake entity) supposedly became a Territory of the United States (another fake entity).

Why are State of Hawaii leaders so reluctant to make a big deal about celebrating “statehood” (or “annexation”)? It is because the truth about the illegitimacy of Hawaiʻi’s statehood has come home to roost. The state knows its days are numbered.

A basic principle of law, ex injura jus non oritur means, unjust acts cannot create lawful ones. This applies especially to our situation. Since the initial seizure of the Hawaiian Islands in 1893 was categorically unlawful, each successive government in the Hawaiian Islands, the “Republic of Hawaiʻi,” the “Territory of Hawaiʻi” and the current U.S. “State of Hawaiʻi,” were, and still are, categorically unlawful. This explains the non-celebration Statehood.

The people of Hawaii, those in America, and globally, have become keenly aware that Hawaii wasn’t adopted into the U.S. family… that Hawaii was kidnapped and forced to live with an abusive, greedy abductor pretending to be a caring and loving parent.

The way things are going, the United States’ criminal enterprise, the fake State of Hawaii, is headed for a day of reckoning. And the genuine, sovereign, independent nation, the Hawaiian Kingdom, is about to step out of captivity.

No wonder the State is nervous.

KOKUA JUNKIES ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"

“Kokua Junkies - A Visit With Rick Rutiz"

Kokua is the Hawaiian word meaning to help and no one turns more kids into kokua junkies, those who enjoy helping others, than Rick Rutiz who heads the non-profit Ma Ka Hana Ka `Ike in Hana, Maui. So much so in fact that he trained the students at Hana elementary and secondary school to construct all the classrooms themselves. As if that wasnʻt enough his students also go out into the community and build homes at no cost whatsoever for Hanaʻs elderly population. Join us in our visit with Rick as we tour the school campus and hear the story of this remarkable man and his students who love to help others - Watch It Here
