A Historic Day in Hawaii

A  L  O  H  A !

Updated October 5 at 5:19 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - "Organizers of an Aloha Unity march were expecting 10,000 people to make their way through Waikiki Saturday. Judging from the scene on Kalakaua Avenue, they may have easily met or surpassed that mark. The event is aimed at expressing opposition to the Thirty Meter Telescope project, but also show unity for Aloha Aina movements.
     “This is like family, ohana,” said Cynde Fernandes, one of the marchers. “They’re all talking. They’re singing. They’re giving a message, and this is it.”  Link   to TV News story








HRH Queen Liliuokalani
Hawaii's last queen
September 2, 1838 - November 11, 1917,
Author of world treasure song:
"Aloha 'Oe"

"At noon of the tenth day of April, 1877, 
the booming of the cannon was heard 
which announced that I was heir apparent 
to the throne of Hawaii."
Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen | january 1898
















All conducted in a nonviolent, 
uplifting atmosphere of warmth













"I could not turn back the time for political change, 
but there is still time to save our heritage. 
You must remember never to cease to act 
because you fear you may fail."
Liliuokalani
To her adopted daughter | january 1917










 It's really all about Na Keiki, 
the children
"I owed no allegiance to the Provisional Government so established, nor to any power or to any one save the will of my people and the welfare of my country."

"That first night of my imprisonment was the longest night I have ever passed in my life; it seemed as though the dawn of day 
would never come." 
                          Liliuokalani
Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen | january 1898

The Queen is still serving Hawaii's children
through the important activities
of the Liliuokalani Trust!

Yes.

I marched.






Hawaii's Kings & One Queen.
Hands make the Mountain, Maunakea,
sacred space shared by gods and humans,
being protected, as the
Hawaiian people blossom in this day.

The Kingdom of Hawaii is not forgotten.

As indigenous people over the globe
reassert their identities and cultures,
so the Kanaka Maoli rise.
Ku Kia'i Mauna!
"Stand firm protectors of the Mountain"

About More Than A Telescope

A  L  O  H  A !
 Peaceful Protest

Never be afraid to raise your voice 
for honesty and truth and compassion 
against injustice and lying and greed. 
If people all over the world...would do this, 
it would change the earth.
                         William Faulkner








 "No Thirty Meter Telescope"

We must always take sides. 
Neutrality helps the oppressor, 
never the victim. Silence 
encourages the tormentor, 
never the tormented.
             Elie Wiesel









Kapu = Sacred
Aloha = Hawaiian Philosophy of Life

You never change things by 
fighting the existing reality.
To change something, 
build a new model that makes 
the existing model obsolete.
            Buckminster Fuller

For decades
cutting edge astronomical
discoveries have been made
atop Maunakea,
the sacred mountain 
of the Hawaiian people.

As defenders of this sacred realm,
Hawaiians have decried 
construction, land use,
and water use, on
Maunakea for years.

Now a new instrument
is planned over their
objections.

But this time, the 
world is changing.
The Hawaiian people
are educated, knowledgeable
and strengthened by
their resurgent culture.

I love science! But this
is now about something
more important.

Right now,
what's happening on
this land, these islands,
our Earth,
is more important
than learning more
about space.

I believe the ancient 
Hawaiians who studied
the stars, and were 
great ocean navigators,
King Kalakaua who
invited astronomers
to his kingdom to
observe the transit
of Venus,
would all appreciate
and applaud the resurgence
of their descendants above all.



          Sincerely, cloudia

becomes love, 
your heart becomes 
the holiest temple.

Now we need the 
young folks to 
sing us all home!
