ARREST WARRANT DROPPED FOR SPEAKING HAWAIIAN
Speaking Hawaiian inside a Maui courtroom could have landed a Kula man behind bars. Trial for a Haleakala telescope protester was scheduled to start at District Court in Wailuku Wednesday morning but it didn't get very far.
Fifty-one-year-old defendant Kaleikoa Kaeo identified he was present in court, speaking Hawaiian instead of English.
When presiding Judge Blaine Kobayashi told Kaeo he couldn't understand him, Kaeo continued to speak in his native tongue. The judge refused to recognize Kaeo's presence in court and issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
Today the Hawaii State Judiciary dropped the arrest warrant. Judge Kobayashi issued an order recalling the bench warrant.
Also, a hearing has been scheduled regarding the use of a Hawaiian language interpreter. The Judiciary will be reviewing its policies regarding the provision of Hawaiian language interpreters.
According to court records, Kaeo was granted a Hawaiian language translator more than a dozen times for past petty misdemeanor proceedings. Kaeo is able to speak English, and in this case, the judge ordered the trial to be held in English and did not provide a translator.
"It's really unfortunate. If I spoke Spanish, if I spoke Filipino or Japanese, they would provide an interpreter," Kaeo said.
When court was dismissed, Kaeo's supporters shouted and expressed disapproval with the ruling inside the packed courtroom.
"It's a tragedy. But it's also important, it wakes people up that really think Hawai`i has a sense of equality. You would think Native Hawaiians would have some sense of humanity in this place, knowing the history. Knowing the struggles," Kaeo exclaimed.
Protestors in favor of Kaeo filled the court's hallways and exterior with signs and songs. Keiki who attend Hawaiian language immersion program Punana Leo lined the hallways, as well. Some of the children's parents who were there were in shock. Among them, Kumu Hula Napua Greig who tearfully expressed her frustration during a Facebook live stream.
"I can't even believe that this is happening today. I can't even believe it. Why do we educate our kids in our native language if they won't even be allowed to defend themselves," said Greig.
Along with English, Hawaiian, is an official language of the State of Hawai`i.

"Voice Of The People - A Visit With Kaleikoa Ka`eo"

So we hopped a plane to Maui and spent the day with Hawaiian Studies Professor Kaleikoa Ka`eo who lost no time in bringing us up to date. As one of the most eloquent and articulate advocates for ending the US occupation in all of Hawai`i, the more Kaleikoa told us, the more excited we became.

"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.

As if that wasnʻt enough his students also go out into the community and build homes at no cost whatsoever for Hanaʻs elderly population.
