Meala Bishop retired as a community arts specialist role in Ko'olaupoko, O’ahu after spending 23 years in the community, teaching, not just art, but many things impressed upon living in the islands oceans, mountains, and lo'i. From Meala "Art helps create ways of knowing and understanding. It helps us express our internal mo'olelo through external expression. Visual literacy explains through creative processes our visions of how we see the world and our relationship to the environment. The artist by sharing the spiritual essences that surround our environment through visual language & symbolism celebrates their connection to life and place. Through art we can explore Hawaiian culture, history and cultural diversity - culture through art. Kaona, metaphors, 'olelo, and hōʻailona help connect us to language and culture. I feel compelled to express hope, honor the past, immerse myself in my natural surrounding and share its knowledge. My wahi pana are Waiehu, Maui, Koko Head, Kaʻalaea, Waiāhole, and Punaluʻu,Oʻahu."

New to Native Stories is Interviewer @_vehia_Miri Vidal lives in Papetoai, Mo'orea. She is a Tifaifai-quilt maker (traditional Tahitian quilt maker), an activist for nuclear reparations and justice, a mother and a grandmother. Miri was living on O'ahu, Hawai'i during the 1990's at the height of the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific (also known as NFIP) era. During this time, France had been conducting nuclear tests on Tahiti, French Polynesia for decades. France started nuclear testing in French Polynesia in 1966 until 1996, conducting between 175-188 nuclear tests on Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls. France was taking part in the world “nuclear arms race” where nuclear tests were being developed by large industrial countries as a means of warfare. Other examples would be the US nuclear tests on Bikini Island in Micronesia during the 1950’s. Miri was a representative of Tahiti and the NFIP activists of Tahiti in Hawai'i. She gave speeches with Mililani Trask during NFIP marches and protests, and frequented Kekuni Blaisdell's house for discussions on Pacific sovereignty. And during the 90's, she brought over a group of Kanaka Maoli activists to Tahiti to bridge the islands and build solidarity during the anti-colonial military movement. Miri Vidal was born in the south of France from Tahitian parents in 1953 during the French Algerian War, a war of Algerian resistance to French nuclear testing on their land. Being in the military, her father was then transferred to Madagascar, and they travelled by a French cruise ship through the Suez Canal to the island of Madagascar, who were at the beginning of their Independence from France in 1962-65. Her travel through the Suez Canal, stopping in the Middle East on different port stops gave her an opportunity to experience and see many different cultures from around the area. She moved to Tahiti in 1966, and lived with her Aunty and Uncle. Her Uncle was a renown photographer for a French magazine among other things. Her experience living in Tahiti brought her into contact with many politicians from Tahiti and France and many others from local bourgeoise class and navy, there to implant the nuclear testing in Moruroa, Hao & Fangataufa.You can contact Miri on her FB pageshttps://www.facebook.com/miritifaifaihttps://www.facebook.com/tifaifaimiriPictured on Top: (L-R): Man with hat is from Rapa Nui (name unknown), Imai Kanahele, Miri Vidal, Soli Niheu, Aunty Terry KekoʻolaniNative Stories previously interviewed Imai and Terrilee.

Hawaiʻi is in many ways not just the start of US overseas empire, but also the last time the US seemed to actually pay any real regard to the will of native peoples when looking at expansion.  Essentially the withdrawal of the first treaty of annexation by Cleveland and the defeat of the second one in the Senate signaled a basic failure of the imperialists to push through the isolationist and at least nominally pro-democracy sentiments of 19th century US foreign policy. Spanish-American War The Spanish American war, however, opens up the floodgates.  Though reluctant to get into the war, it getʻs McKinley the chance to grab Hawaiʻi, which he had wanted when he signed the second treaty, and then the massive popularity combined with the expansionist group within his own admin leads him to embrace empire, both in the war itself (Seizing the Philippines, Guam, and PR in the Treaty of Paris and also completing the long stalled negotiations with Germany and the UK over Sāmoa) and in his reelection campaign in 1900. Filipino-American War The Philippine American war is really the conclusion of all this and sets the tone for the US’s foreign wars of occupation up through the present day.  Getting into the war we actually supported Filipino Nationalist like Aguinaldo, we saw them as the same as the Cuban independence fighters we were supposedly helping when we attacked Spain.  But really Quickly it turns, and McKinley grabs it in treaty negotiations and sends out guys like Otis with the express purpose of putting down any nationalist forces and creating a colony.  The atrocities that followed are typical of wars of occupation, which we see in the US plains before that, but also in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.

SundayNovember 22, 20207AM HST Pōkā is a native son of Hawai`i, and like others, was taught to love the U.S., enough to give his life in war. Like his male siblings, he volunteered in the active U.S. military service. While in that service, he came upon “Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen” in 1970. He took a new direction - a commitment to break from U.S. colonization and restore Hawaii’s independence. He returned to the study of law after military service, earning a Juris Doctorate in 1976. He returned to his Wai`anae community which elected him in 1968 to the State Constitutional Convention., opened his law office, and pursued his work for Hawaiian independence. He has been credited as the father of the modern Hawaiian Sovereignty movement, bringing challenges throughout the State and Federal courts in Hawaii, asserting the court’s lack of jurisdiction over Hawaiian nationals as well as over the territory of Hawaii. Using the courts and the criminal system, he introduced the hidden history of U.S. aggression into Hawai’i, the U.S. plotting in a collusion with principally U.S. businessmen, the snatching of Hawai`i and the numerous violations of domestic and international laws in that theft. His use of the courts as a public education platform spread this information throughout Hawaii. Today, many others have joined in this practice, challenging U.S. jurisdiction over Hawaiian nationals. Finding the judges too deeply engrained in protecting U.S. interest rather than principles, he expanded his activities into the political, media and international arena. He was elected O`ahu’s Trustee with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (1982 – 1986), constitutionally established by the people of Hawai`i four years previous. He wrote and lectured across Hawai`i of the history, of international legal principles of self-determination, of the evils of colonization and of Hawaiian nationhood. In 1983, he joined the World Council of Indigenous Peoples, elected its Vice President, and tasked to be the political spokesperson at international forums, including the United Nations various bodies. In the late 1980’s he played an instrumental role in the drafting of the U.N.’s Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples, selected as the Indigenous Expert to the International Labor Organization’s writing its Rights of Indigenous Peoples convention (ILO 169), and selected to address the General Assembly of the U.N. in 1991 where he was acknowledged as one of five pioneers in the development of indigenous peoples rights. The principle body of his work can be found at www.hawaiianperspectives.org. While in Hawai’i, Pōkā led his community’s mental health center integrating indigenous knowledge in treatment of mental illness, substance abuse, family services, and psycho-social programs, receiving honors and national recognition. He continues his practice of law, his radio and television shows, his writings and teachings, a bit of farming and Tai Chi Chuan. He is father of 3, g-father of 1, husband of 50 years to Puanani Burgess, and constant advocate of human rights and fundamental freedom for all.

Matahi was born and lived most of his childhood in Papetoai, Moorea, Tahiti. He did part of his studies in Aotearoa and Hawai'i, which is when he realized how little he knew about his own heritage, and it pushed him to learn te reo, and to be more proactive about anything that has to do with our "nativeness". He’s been a reporter for about 10 years, with RFO and then Tahiti Nui Television. Today he’s launching his own production company named 'ārere media ('ārere means messenger): the idea is to help communities, NGO's or individuals tell their own stories. stories of their ancestors and their land. In 2009 Matahi helped with the foundation of our voyaging society, Fa'afaite i te Ao Mā'ohi, and had the privilege to be its president for 4 years, and to sail and be part of a wonderful family.

Before there were homes here today, it was farmland, and before that Hawaii Kai or originally named maunalua was known to be one of the largest fishponds and food producing areas on Oahu, sustaining the people. Today we will be discussing the Kalama Valley Protests in the 1970’s. High cost of living was hard on residents, like my grandparents , people had to leave Hawaii to afford a roof over their heads. In 1968, Kalama Valley was Re zoned from agricultural to urban land. The owners, Bishop Estate, gave permission to Kaiser to develop the land. Kaiser was an industrialist that developed along the south east coast of Oahu. Residents were told to leave before July 1970. In July 1970, Some refused to leave, and 3 were arrested. Today we have Mr John Wittek who was one of those 3. Those remaining were evicted and 32 people were arrested on May 11,1971 while standing their ground while bulldozers were standing ready.

An event held at Waiwai Collective on July 5. Indigenous Midwives from Canada, America, and Hawaii share about the important birth-related work they are doing within their Nations. @Autumn Cavender, @Melissa Rose, @Carol Couchie, @Strong Women Song by @Glenda Abbott, @Rhonda Grantham, @Sewa Yuli, and @Margaret David with children Laka and Manu, @Rhonda Grantham, @Glenda Abbott, Alicia Cook​, and last Laulani Teale​.

I was the first wahine, the first woman that was asked to stand up, so they put their handcuff/strips on me and walked me to the vehicle. There was silence, but there were tears, there were tears of love. The policemen wept, and we wept, and all of the young people wept in silence. And we asked to do that, and give every kupuna their day.

Those mele lāhui are probably one of the most important things to hold onto because they connect us. Within those mele, they keep us conscious about what being part of the lāhui is like, they express how we feel about being in the lāhui. It’s very personal but very true to you as a kanaka.

From 2015 until now I’ve been continuing to organize students, train them on how to approach creating actions on campus, how to confront the university, how to confront President Lassner.

Kanaka rangers is modeled after a program in Australia where the indigenous peoples of those lands… the way that they saw fit… where you are getting the native indigenous people of those lands to take on kuleana of stewardship, also legislation and enforcement to those resources to belong to those people.

Hoe wa'a or Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling started well before the 1960's. History tells us that King Kalakaua brought the sport back to popularity during his monarchy following a ban by missionary influences. In pre-missionary days, racing wa'a was a common part of the makahiki season as a type of sport. This podcast will begin with the history of hoe wa'a from David Malo, a historian/writer in the early 1800's. Listeners will learn how canoes were built, the role of the god Iaka, and the tribulations faced with building a canoe. Finally, the podcast closes with Hannie Anderson, the Na Wahine o Ke Kai Race Director, and her account of how the women's Molokai to Oahu race came to be.

We interview Ka'u Kalama-Ohelo and Ku'ike Kamakea-Ohelo on Save our Sherwoods. Their purpose is to protect and preserve the historical, cultural and natural resources of Waimānalo, neighboring communities and across the state of Hawaiʻi. They share the history of the ownership of the land that is today called Sherwoods and how preservation rights makes it illegal to build anything on that land.

They love us when we go along with what they want, but the minute the Hawaiian people say no to something, we are labeled protesters, anarchists...so we decided in 1996 to begin taking part in protecting/preserving Mauna Kea. We are Alii, and alii means servants or resource managers with a dab of holiness.

Legal observers are present at things like direct action or protests, to observe law enforcement and primarily to act as a deterrent to law enforcement from acting unconstitutionally or unreasonably.

Outside of public-school sex education, learning about the sexuality, the gender, the sexual practices of my ancestors have helped me as a māhū to decolonize my body, my relationships, so Sex Eaducation is uncovering what is always conscious, we are constantly in a sexual relationship with the ʻāina.

Our intention is to create a nurturing space, a space of empowerment...a brave space for people to feel comfortable truth telling. One of the things we’ve noticed on the Mauna is there’s a lot of historical/cultural trauma going on. I hope that our wahine space is one of those spaces where wahine, māhū, kāne, everyone feels comfortable to come into a nurturing space where they can truth tell, share their own moʻōlelo for how they got here.

For too long our intimate connection with our environment has been interrupted by western ways of being and knowing that was imposed upon us... so that’s what’s so exciting about Puʻu Huluhulu, is that we are coming back and living in one with our environment and getting to know the elements and the changing of the seasons... and what is more Ea then that?

Struggling in the hood, figuring out that I’d rather have the ʻāina back then eat spam and have EBT, hip hop solved my problems by expressing it, so I figured I might as well teach youth this craft that helped me learn discipline and bless me with a better outlook on life and help me navigate through struggle.

My manaʻolana for all of this is that people gain a sense of identity and they are able to be proud of who they are, where they come from..."

See how powerful the people of Hawaii can be, and we wield a real serious force, that we can push in whatever direction we want, and I really hope that we are not just looking back in history to this beautiful time when we all came together and then it stopped, but really look back and see "oh that was another beginning to how we got right here right now in whatever issue we were fighting then."

The most dangerous time for our people... is institutional racism, which is when an institution, organization, or government has policies, practices, procedures or laws, that give or afford unearned privilege to one group or another, and that is exactly what is happening up on this mauna.

Joseph “Nappy” Napoleon (Born 1941) is well known for his participation in waʻa canoe racing in Hawaiʻi. Uncle Nappy paddled in his first Moloka'i Hoe, the annual long-distance open ocean canoe race from Moloka'i to O'ahu, at the age of 17 in 1958.

From Keanu Sai's blog https://hawaiiankingdom.org/blog/ In the summer of 1842, Kamehameha III moved forward to secure the position of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a recognized independent state under international law. He sought the formal recognition of Hawaiian independence from the three naval powers of the world at the time—Great Britain, France, and the United States. To accomplish this, Kamehameha III commissioned three envoys, Timoteo Ha‘alilio, William Richards, who at the time was still an American Citizen, and Sir George Simpson, a British subject. Of all three powers, it was the British that had a legal claim over the Hawaiian Islands through cession by Kamehameha I, but for political reasons the British could not openly exert its claim over the other two naval powers. Due to the islands prime economic and strategic location in the middle of the north Pacific, the political interest of all three powers was to ensure that none would have a greater interest than the other. This caused Kamehameha III “considerable embarrassment in managing his foreign relations, and…awakened the very strong desire that his Kingdom shall be formally acknowledged by the civilized nations of the world as a sovereign and independent State.” While the envoys were on their diplomatic mission, a British Naval ship, HBMS Carysfort, under the command of Lord Paulet, entered Honolulu harbor on February 10, 1843, making outrageous demands on the Hawaiian government. Basing his actions on complaints made to him in letters from the British Consul, Richard Charlton, who was absent from the kingdom at the time, Paulet eventually seized control of the Hawaiian government on February 25, 1843, after threatening to level Honolulu with cannon fire. Kamehameha III was forced to surrender the kingdom, but did so under written protest and pending the outcome of the mission of his diplomats in Europe. News of Paulet’s action reached Admiral Richard Thomas of the British Admiralty, and he sailed from the Chilean port of Valparaiso and arrived in the islands on July 25, 1843. After a meeting with Kamehameha III, Admiral Thomas determined that Charlton’s complaints did not warrant a British takeover and ordered the restoration of the Hawaiian government, which took place in a grand ceremony on July 31, 1843. At a thanksgiving service after the ceremony, Kamehameha III proclaimed before a large crowd, ua mau ke ea o ka ‘aina i ka pono (the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness). The King’s statement became the national motto. The envoys eventually succeeded in getting formal international recognition of the Hawaiian Islands “as a sovereign and independent State.” Great Britain and France formally recognized Hawaiian sovereignty on November 28, 1843 by joint proclamation at the Court of London, and the United States followed on July 6, 1844 by a letter of Secretary of State John C. Calhoun. The Hawaiian Islands became the first Polynesian nation to be recognized as an independent and sovereign State. The ceremony that took place on July 31 occurred at a place we know today as “Thomas Square” park, which honors Admiral Thomas, and the roads that run along Thomas Square today are “Beretania,” which is Hawaiian for “Britain,” and “Victoria,” in honor of Queen Victoria who was the reigning British Monarch at the time the restoration of the government and recognition of Hawaiian independence took place.
