HAWAI`IʻS SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"
"Only The People Change - A Visit With Kapa`ihi Umebayashi"
Hereʻs a story weʻve long wanted to tell you - the unique and special relationship between Hawaiians and the taro plant which goes back centuries. To do that we spent an afternoon with Kapa`ihi Umebayashi, a farmer at Kako`o`oiwi on O`ahuʻs beautiful windward side. He explained to us taro is not just a staple food for Hawaiians, but theyʻre actually related to it. Join us in our amazing visit with Kapa`ihi as he explains the ancient ties between Hawaiians, taro and Hawai`iʻs land and what they have to teach all of us if we only listen - Watch It Here

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2025
Joining the Pacific
I just spent a week in Honiara, Solomon Islands for the 54th Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Leaders Meeting. The PIF is an intergovernmental organization with its headquarters in Suva, Fiji. It addresses issues, concerns, practices and policies that impact the overall welfare of the peoples and nations of the Pacific.
Over its 54 years, membership in the Forum has grown to include 18 Pacific nations. Sadly, Hawaii is not among them. This is because of the false narrtive that "Hawaii-is-a-state-of-the-US". Of course, we're working to correct that myth.
In 2013, at the invitation of H.E. Tony deBrum, the late, great Foreign Minister of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, I started attending the annual PIFLM to "show face" on behalf of the Hawaiian Kingdom, to share our story and track with the important issues and challenges facing our Pacific family.
Over the years, though in the margins of the PIF, I've become somewhat of a fixture at the meetings. In fact, with the regular turn-over of political leaders through elections, parliamentary procedures and even a coup, I think I’ve attended PIF Leaders Meetings longer than any Pacific Island President, Prime Minister or Foreign Minister.
Beginning in the 19th Century, the Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands was formally recognized by the major powers of the World as a sovereign, independent state, and enjoyed bi-lateral and multi-lateral equal treaties with many fellow-sovereign States.
This recognition of Hawaii’s sovereignty occurred while all the other Pacific Islands nations were being subjected and exploited under colonial rule by various European powers.
Today, however, the situation is flipped. Most of the Pacific nations are free, but Hawaii is captive — hidden under the guise of the US “State of Hawaii”. Ironically, the United Nations’ decolonization process that helped all the other Pacific nations to become independent states, was hijacked by the U.S. to immerse Hawaii into the United States.
While we are making significant strides toward correcting the wrongs and decoupling Hawaii from that erroneous UN-enabled merger, one of the most egregious results of the 127-year-long U.S. illegal occupation has been the political and relational separation of Hawaii from the rest of our Pacific Islands family.
The alienation from our Pacific family prevents Hawaii from participating in matters concerning our ocean community. Instead of Hawaii’s voice, all that is being heard in the Pacific is the U.S. projecting its own interests, policies and agenda dictated from over 5,000 miles away from our shores.
As we draw closer to the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign, independent nation, we are seeking to re-connect and rejoin the rest of our family at the Pacific Islands Forum so our voices can be joined together with them.
As a nation of people with roots in the Pacific Way and with significant experience as an economic, geo-political and cultural hub, we believe the restored Hawaiian Kingdom can offer much in facing our critical mutual challenges and in creating a better future for the Pacific and the Planet.

SEPTEMBER FREE HAWAII NEWS - IS CHIEF OF WAR A BREAKTHROUGH FOR HAWAIIANS?
Will Chief Of War Get Others To See Hawaii As An Independent Country? Plus How The UN Was Fooled Into Thinking Hawaii Is The 50th US State, Then Progress On Homes For Lahaina, Also How A Visitor Industry Would Be Very Different In A Hawaiian Kingdom And Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o Explains Why Chief Of War Was Filmed In `Olelo Hawai`i.
The September 2025 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight, Friday, September 5th airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com
“Jason Momoaʻs Chief Of War series airing on Apple TV is definitely a game changer. Itʻs already getting viewers everywhere to understand what kanaka maoli or Hawaiians went through during a time of vast change and upheaval. It showcases to the world that thereʻs an independent country called the Hawaiian Kingdom. We talk with Hawaiian educator and cultural specialist Kalehua Krug on the most important aspects of Chief Of War,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.
Also on the September Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu explains in his United Nations Update how the UN was fooled into thinking Hawaii is the fiftieth US state. “We have been educating UN members of Hawaiiʻs real history and how the claim that Hawaii became the fiftieth US state in 1959 was a sleight of hand. Itʻs been a real eye-opener for many and theyʻre now asking us how they can help correct this wrong,” reports Leon.
In her Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o segment Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong explains why Chief Of War was filmed in `Olelo Hawaii, then we go to Maui for an update on progress in rehousing Lahainaʻs residents & also how a tourist industry would be very different in a Hawaiian Kingdom.
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.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - AUGUST 2025
Chief of War and Hawaii History Month
Jason Momoaʻs series, Chief of War, is not only fascinating, exciting and entertaining, it has brought Hawaiian culture and history to the world’s attention as never before. The world is seeing Hawaii with new eyes — Kanaka eyes — giving new angles, new understanding, and perhaps new respect. People are beginning to learn about who we are and the profound social, cultural, historical and political dynamics that brought us to this place in time. The series will not only cause the world to view Hawaii in a different light, it will likely help to open minds to the prospect of a free Hawaii.
September is Hawaiian History Month. This designation was created several years ago by Hawaiian patriots as an extension of the annual celebration of Queen Liliuokalani’s birthday (September 2, 1838). It involves holding related informational and educational events to invite the public to delve deeper into Hawaii’s history, past, present and future.
The State of Hawaii officially added Hawaiian History Month to other significant Hawaiian Kingdom holidays now being observed by the State: Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea (Sovereignty Restoration Day), Lā Kuʻokoʻa (Hawaii Independence Day), and of course the venerable, King Kamehameha Day.
This represents a significant shift from the formerly widely accepted but false narrative (that Hawaii is a State of the United States) to the growing realization that Hawaii is still a sovereign nation after all. With decades of scholarly work, persistent calls for justice, aloha ʻāina kuʻe actions, legal filings, diplomatic interventions and more, there has been a noticeable change in the attitude and demeanor of the Lāhui as Hawaii’s people awaken and prepare for the imminent return of their sovereign, independent nation.
Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole who was the lead sponsor of the recent bill stated, “By designating September as Hawaiian History month, the state affirms our collective responsibility to tell the full story of Hawaiʻi — rooted in Native Hawaiian leadership, resilience and cultural excellence.”
It was the telling of the “full story” that will inevitably lead to the realization that the current US State of Hawaii is an elaborate hoax, an impostor pretending to be the government for the Hawaiian Islands.
And it is the telling of our “full story”, whether through Hawaiian History Month or Chief of War or internet posts or through cultural roots or life experiences… that reminds us of who we are, where we came from, and the awesome story, place and kuleana for the future we inherited from our ancestors.
