Na Wai Au?

My First video.
These are my viewpoints of a place that has influenced me in the fight to see a free and independent nation of Hawai’i. Our culture and society has been desecrated, deceived, and destroyed by the influence of the Big Five A.K.A. as Alexander & Baldwin, Castle & Cooke, AMFAC know known as Ka’anapali Land, LLC, C. Brewer, and Theo H. Davies. Even our last remaining royalty turned against their people in the interest of themselves instead of the greater good of the people. This is the first video of many that will show the truth and injustices against the my great ancestors who did not need the white people to live, who did not need money or luxuries of the white people. We are still people of great ALOHA and respect as our ancestors have thought us, however we can be just as deceptive and evil as the white people who created our unfortunate reality. Almost every single river on the island of Maui is diverted for development, agriculture, and for profiteering, yet the County of Maui says we have droughts? They continue to approve developments that consume and destroy our sacred lands. Maui will not become and City of the Pacific, I ask you peers and ‘Ohana to make a difference, we are our future’s last hope. This year the illegal State of Hawai’i celebrates its’ 50th anniversary of its’ illegitimate history that has forced most Hawaiians to either be incarcerated or move off of the islands because the high cost of living. Please make a difference help me get national attention, help me make a difference for future generations. Our culture and language is nearly extinct as well as its' people who are an endangered species of humans. No Hawaiians, No Aloha, *IMUA*, ‘Onipa’a .

    • This is beautiful. I truly appreciate your love and respect for your land. It is truly a heavenly place and I stand with you 100% in standing up against the explotation brought there. I wish you well in your struggle for independence. I would like to place this video on my Water Is Life blog. Please let me know if it is ok to do so.

      Thanks.

    • Great video, good explanation of "No Aloha."

      Beautiful land and rivers. Hard to believe when you get about 70 inches of rain per year, they take enough water to put your people in a drought situation.

      Good luck with your fight against oppression!
