Hawaiians for too long have been missing in action in the courts. While they have protested and marched to the deaf ears of the State Government and Governor Lingle, the State of Hawaii has been moving quickly to sell off their land without the owners being represented in the courts!
The Supreme Court of the United States has determined that the Office of Hawaiian Affairs [OHA] does not represent the Hawaiian National's interest. We sat in the Supreme Court and were surprised to hear OHA argue that the State of Hawaii has “Perfect Title” to the “Ceded Lands”!
So why is the agency that claims to represent “Native Hawaiian” interest is arguing that Hawaiians have no legal claim on the land left to then as a private trust? Because they are the State [OHA is a state agency] and they share the goal to disenfranchise Kanaka Ma’oli national's legal claims.
Five Bucks to hire a law firm! We are asking Hawaiians to just pledge $5 dollars each. They are impoverished today and yet as beneficiaries they have been cut off from their property.
This is a large amount of land and its revenue would have easily afforded them more than enough money to hire many law firms.
We also are appealing to anyone who would like to see a just outcome for a people long suffering under American occupation of their land and resources. We encourage you to pledge or donate whatever you can to reach a simple goal of getting Hawaiians for the first time in 116 years legal representation.
