HAWAIIAN PATRIOTS ARRESTED AT `IOLANI PALACE

Honolulu Star-Advertiser - November 7, 2011

State law enforcement officers arrested 22 people last night after they refused to leave the ‘Iolani Palace grounds.

Members of the sovereignty group Hawaiian Kingdom Government claim the state of Hawaii is a “puppet government” and the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown illegally.

The arrests went peacefully and took about 35 minutes in the parking lot near the State Archives. The lights of the palace shined in the background.

“We’ve always done things peacefully,” group spokesperson Donna Willard said.

The 22 people were charged with criminal trespass II, a petty misdemeanor, and planned to stay overnight at a jail in Kapolei before being transported for arraignment to a District Court.

State land Director William Aila said he was disappointed that the members chose to be arrested and thought they had made their point.

The arrests, close to 7 PM, came several hours after Aila announced a decision to close `Iolani Palace and the surrounding grounds to the public from 5 PM yesterday through November 15 at 6 AM, saying he wanted to protect the area and ensure public safety during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings on O`ahu.

4TH OF JULY THEFT OF HAWAI`I'S INDEPENDENCE
















By Poka Laenui

With Bible on hand, pistols in their pockets and troops at the ready, men gathered on the steps of `Iolani Palace on July 4th, 1894. Invoking the name of American liberty, they dismantled the liberty of the people of the Hawaiian nation.

Two separate camps divided Hawai`i's political environment. One, a small minority, held the power of government through the landing of the US military. The second, Hawaiian loyalists, supported their Hawaiian Queen Lili`uokalani.

The first camp wanted annexation of Hawai`i to the US, part of a larger plan to open their sugar to US markets. They sided with American expansionists like John Stevens, US Minister to Hawai`i.

The Hawaiian citizens, according to US special investigator James Blount, were almost to the man, in opposition to annexation.

US troops landed on January 16, 1893, and supported a self-proclaimed “provisional government” the next day.

A hurriedly drafted annexation treaty was sent to the US Senate in February for ratification under Harrison’s administration.

But Grover Cleveland, inaugurated President in March, sent Blount to investigate this Hawaiian affair. Given Blount’s report, Cleveland railed against US conspiracy and withdrew the treaty in December.

Sanford Dole, President of the "provisional" government, was criticized for the PG’s lack of legitimacy. He assembled a convention of 37 delegates, 19 appointed by him, the remainder elected by those who disavowed loyalty to Lili`uokalani and swore allegiance to the provisional government.

Using as their backdrop, the US Independence day celebration, Dole’s group assembled at `Iolani Palace at 8:00 AM, July 4, 1894.

With guns tucked out of public sight, William O. Smith, one of the early conspirators of the group acted as master of ceremony.

Dispensing with the opening prayer, apparently skittish over the proceedings taking place, Smith introduced Dole. Dole, looking down upon their members, proclaimed “the Republic of Hawai`i as the sovereign authority over and throughout the Hawaiian Islands.”

He went on, “And I declare the Constitution framed and adopted by the Constitutional Convention of 1894 to be the constitution and the supreme law of the Republic of Hawai`i, and by virtue of this constitution I now assume the office and authority of president thereof.”

The constitution declared all Lili`uokalani’s government’s lands, waters and citizens as those of the Republic.

While framing their activities around the American principle that the right of governance can be only achieved thru the consent of the governed, the Republic of Hawai`i was declared in just the opposite manner.

No ratification or any consent was given the Republic by Hawaiians.

Hawaiian nationals never consented to any change.

THE TRUE MEANING OF JANUARY 17th IN HAWAI`I

San Francisco Chronicle - January 17, 2011

January 17 has a special meaning in Hawai`i well beyond today's celebration of Martin Luther King Day: It's the 118th anniversary of the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by a "provisional government," led by businessmen descended from American missionaries and supported by the presence of US Marines.

Whether or not independence-minded groups camp out on the grounds of `Iolani Palace in Honolulu today, as they have before, the late 19th century power grab will be on the minds of many.

As with any nation, the Native Hawaiian people do not speak with one voice politically, so "independence" (and "sovereignty," for that matter) mean different things to different people.

But, from my humble perspective, Native Hawaiians do come exceptionally close to unity in revering their royal dynasties. And it's good for visitors to remember 118 years is a few blinks ago in the chronology of Hawaiian cultural consciousness.

With that in mind, I'd like to acknowledge the past while taking inspiration from the present. On the gates of `Iolani Palace today are painted bronze plaques bearing the royal coat of arms, which were said to have been removed by the new regime in 1893, and like most of the palace furnishings, were sold at public auction.

But 90 years later, they were found, extensively restored and replaced on the four gates, each of which bears the name of a member of Hawaiian royalty.

The gate used for ceremonial occasions is called Kauikeaouli, after the man who became King Kamehameha III. It was he who. after the British government rejected a takeover of Hawai`i by one of its naval officers, coined the motto on the plaques: Ua mau ke ea o ka`āina i ka pono (as it's written today) -- "the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."

I wonder, what would Dr. King say is the pono, or righteous, response to today's sovereignty movement(s)? I honestly don't know, but I'm glad this palace and these plaques are there to prompt us to think about it.

HAWAIIAN KINGDOM BICENTENNIAL TO BE OBSERVED

“A Nation Reunited” Theme of `Iolani Palace Event

A two-day event marking the bicentennial of the Hawaiian Kingdom will be held at `Iolani Palace in Honolulu tomorrow and Sunday.

Sponsored by the Lawful Hawaiian Government, Ho`okahi Lahui Hawai`i - One Nation, is a call to reunite native Hawaiians and others.

“This is a call to all our Kanaka Maoli people and Kingdom nationals to rally together to remember our collective history and plan our future,” states Lawful Hawaiian Government Prime Minister Henry Noa. “Enough talking – it’s time to start doing.”

2010 Marks 200 years since Hawai`i became a nation, when Kamehameha the Great united the Hawaiian Islands in 1810.

January 17, 1893 marks the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the United States and a handful of wealthy foreign sugar barons.

“With the Akaka bill looming, it’s time to stand together as one people,” remarks Noa. “We demand our country and our future back.”

With the whitewash of facts of the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom by American history books, “Ho`okahi Lahui Hawai`i - One Nation,” will reconnect Hawaiian Kingdom subjects with each other as well as their relationship to the Kingdom, which has been under prolonged illegal occupation by the US.

Expected to draw large crowds, this two-day event is free, open to the public, and will include hula, live music, cultural ceremonies arts and crafts, an essay and poem competition, and a march on Sunday morning.
