kawaihae burials and moepu forum (halealoha and kimo)

"The truth behind the Kawaihae Burial Caves and Moepu Forum" (01-26-06) this is Raw video I took at UH Manoa. For those of you who wish to learn more about the issue this video features Halealoha Ayau, Hui Malama Representative, who was granted supervised release from prison during the filming of this video(after 21 days in jail) to be a part of the Ho’oponopono process concerning the Kawaihae Burial items (called Moepu) and how they are sacred. This inspiration of a kanaka ma’oli refused to disclose the location of the Moepu, Iwi (bones), and burial site. This would be against his RELIGEON. It seems kanaka have no right or freedom of religeon and although most kanaka choose not to get involved THIS is why it is so important to do otherwise. KANAKA are second class citizens in america. We do not have a freedom of religeon as enjoyed by the rest of the country and provided by america’s own constitution. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. Let me know if you have any questions I may be able to answer or direct to the correct source. Halealoha is an inspration, although he refuses to be called a hero. I think the issue here is our kupuna and our rights as a people. Like Halealoha said "We are our Kupuna" therefore when we malama them we malama ourselves. So for those that think this is a waste of time, think again. This is not about sovereignty or kanaka homesteads... this is about ’akua, kupuna and us. Get Involved by learning. Ask questions, find mana’o and find a stand before america finds one for you.

Na makou e malama i na iwi o ko makou kupuna
Nana mo..o e malama i kou makou iwi
A ho..omau ka lokahi o kakou

We will care for the bones of our ancestors
Our children will care for our bones
As we continue this interdependency.
