Re: Hawaiian Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty The third of the history forums, titled The Colonizing of Hawaii 1897-2014 and Decolonization Efforts Worldwide Today, will take place on this Tuesday evening, March 25, from 7:00 to 8:30, at Olelo Studios in Mapunapuna. The public is invited. It will also be shown live on Channel 53, and streamed live worldwide at thesovereigntyconversation.org, the website where all of the programs are available. In tonigh’t forum, Williamson Chang, professor at UH Law School, will discuss the strong Hawaiian resistance at the time of Annexation, including the sending of the Kue Petitions to Congress with 38,000 signatures opposing Annexation, the signature of almost every living Hawaiian. Attorney Poka Laenui, Fred Cachola longtime extension education chief at Kamehameha Schools, and Dante Carpenter, Democrat Party chair and former Big Island Mayor, will discuss the colonization of Hawaii that followed Annexation, showing how America systematically replaced Hawaiian customs, beliefs, heroes, education curriculum, form of government, and life in general, with American forms. Viewers will then be shown the large number of countries that have been decolonized worldwide in the last fifty years, suggesting that we live in an historical period of decolonization. OHA Trustee Peter Apo will then talk about OHAs commitment of support. He will also sing Hawaii Loa Kū Like Kākou (All Hawaii Stand Together) which is recorded on his CD, Hawaiian Nation. Dr. Kioni Dudley will facilitate the forum. Try watch.
