A time to practice Kapu Aloha
In our last update, we pointed out s stark contrast in styles of governance… how we expect the soon-to-be restored Hawaiian Kingdom would operate differently from the current US/State of Hawaii, using Kapu Aloha… treating people with respect and aloha even if we do not agree with them.
When Gov. Ige visited the Mauna Kea puʻuhonua last July, all the news media reported in how he was received by the kupuna and the kiaʻi. Hawaii News Now said: “The governor received a remarkably warm welcome ― with lei, chants and embraces ... in his first visit to the TMT protest.” It was essentially the same in all the news accounts as well as the live-streamed and eye-witness postings.
In spite of the fact that the two “sides” were diametrically opposed on the TMT project, Kapu Aloha prevailed and was maintained by the kiaʻi all the way to the successful suspension of the TMT project and the noa (ending, putting to rest) of the puʻuhonua.
This was the peaceful and orderly narrative at the ʻofficialʻ levels — government, developers, protectors, community, media.
But in the arena of public opinion, it was harsh... and some people — on both sides — got completely out of hand... especially on social media... making accusations, recriminations and threats. Definitely not Kapu Aloha.
This is the area that really requires our personal, individual attention. Each of us in the nation, if we are to be a lāhui that governs with Kapu Aloha, we have to be people who strive to llive in Kapu Aloha... personally... and in a culture that upholds Kapu Aloha.
The current crisis over the coronavirus has caused Gov. Ige to adopt draconian measures, shutting down practically everything. Even those that donʻt present any health hazard. Everyone his hurting. It is already an economic disaster. Those demonstrating for re-opening certain activities and businesses are being arrested and villified in social media. (Sound familiar?). This crisis is an opportune to take Kapu Aloha to the next step... making it personal in your own life and putting it into practice!
This crisis will pass, but what will be on the other end? What kind of a people will we be? What kind of a nation will we model? If not one showing Kapu Aloha, then it will be pohō, a wasted opportunity.
It is this amazing power of Kapu Aloha that will carry us through the rebirthing and rebuilding of our nation. Eō!

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - APRIL 2020
Keeping in touch and updated on activities regarding the restoration of Ke Aupuni o Hawai`i, the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka `Aina I Ka Pono.
What will the Kingdom look like?
Not only has the corona virus situation forced all of us to contemplate our values and priorities, it is making Hawaii’s future as a free and independent nation not such a far-fetched idea.
For years we have been decrying not only the inherent illegality of the “State of Hawaii” but that it basically operates as a criminal enterprise disguised as a benign and progressive political/economic system. But in recent years, the flaws and abuse of power (e.g. TMT, The Rail, Kahuku, etc.) have become so obvious that even those in the system are saying, “We can’t go on with business as usual.”
During this corona time-out, many in the State are calling for reevaluating and making plans to over-haul Hawaii’s economic structure so that when re-opening for business, they’ll start to head in a better direction.
This is a great time for us to get into the mix to steer things to transition toward the Hawaiian Kingdom. There are literally decades of studies and ideas formulated by a lot of thoughtful people on how Hawaii’s economic, social and political condition can be improved. And there are hundreds in our midst today with great ideas and hard at work to malama their kuleana, actually implementing the Hawaii of the future. This is the time to have a full discussion to create a roadmap for the reawakening of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
I am often asked, “What would the Hawaiian Kingdom look like?” I tell them that initially there would no noticeable change: the outward appearances, the infrastructure, the basic functions would be the same. But the manner in how it’s run would change. It’s like a company that comes under new management. It’s still the same company providing the same services, but it will reflect the priorities, values and style of the new manager and his team.
So what is our style? Kapu Aloha! Imagine how different things would be if Kapu Aloha were to replace the current style of selfishness and greed?
It is this amazing power of Kapu Aloha that will carry us through the rebirthing and rebuilding of our nation. Eō!

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - APRIL 2020
Keeping in touch and updated on activities regarding the restoration of Ke Aupuni o Hawai`i, the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka `Aina I Ka Pono.
Kapu Aloha going “viral”
The corona virus situation has abruptly forced people to confront and reconsider their priorities… that it is just as important to value the well-being of others as much as you value yourself. In the past few weeks commercial messages in print, broadcasts and social media have changed from the usual obscene, “What’s in it for me?” to the virtuous, “We’re all in this together!”
Everywhere we turn, the message of caring for each other, for family and community is being spread faster than the virus. Suddenly the world is waking up to the notion that it’s not about the rat-race, it’s about the human race. It’s about taking care of one another. That if we want to survive pandemics and even worse, we have to make it a kakou (together) thing… to malama (care for) each other and everything around us… even the air we breathe.
This past year, we saw Kapu Aloha miraculously transform and defuse the volatility of TMT on Mauna Kea and how that spirit spread to numerous other tense situations such as Kahuku and Hunananiho. Now, we see the world spontaneously embracing this spirit — in essence, Kapu Aloha — to get through the corona virus crisis.
Just think, this amazing power of Kapu Aloha is what will carry us through the rebirthing and rebuilding of our nation. Eō!
