Drum for our Sacred Cultural Sites throughout Hawai'i Nei
Saturday, November 7th, 2009 at 6pm

Aloha,

The kahea, the call, from Hawea Heiau complex to drum for the proper protection, respect and care for all our sacred cultural sites in Hawai’i nei and
the call to drum to honor our kupuna and their presence at all these sites has been heard throughout Hawai’i and worldwide.

The kahea has brought a ripple effect reaching supporters from many places in the world. It is a simple kahea with no expectations. All those who choose
to participate are given the freedom to choose their special place and to focus on creating a positive environment to ask the ancestors for guidance.

Those who support our effort will use the pahu, their ipu, ohe pu or whatever instrument they need to join us and this can be as simple as tapping gently over their heart,
but most importantly they come with the beat of their hearts, the beat that unites us all as Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians.

We also unite together and drum to let the State Historic Preservation Department hear that throughout our islands we have lost faith in their ability to properly protect
and respect our precious and priceless cultural areas. A change must come.

In less than a week we have received responses from many that the beat of the drum on Saturday, Nov. 7th will be taking place in sites around the world including:

Bora Bora, Tahiti
Aotearoa (New Zealand)
Australia
Guatemala
Mexico
At Union Square New York City, New York
San Francisco, California
Ojai, California
New Mexico
Colorado
Oregon

Native American Tribes drumming with us include:

Shumash
Anisnebe

At 6pm on Saturday, as the drumming begins, wherever you are, and even if you are by yourself at your sacred site, please know you are not alone but united with
someone else in Hawai’i nei, or around the the world. As Auntie Nani and Auntie Louise sound the pahu for our kupuna iwi ‘o Naue on Kaua’i, the sound of drums
will reverberate through Union Square in New York City and the sound will unite us with our friends in Mexico who will be drumming with us.
We will all be connected at all our sacred sites.

In Guatemala, when they heard about the kahea, they emailed us to let us know they will drum too, “ . . . in Guatemala many of our sacred sites are also in danger.
Together we can have a strong voice.”

And to quote Auntie Louise from Kaua’i, “The drums will beat to unite us all in our belief and cause. We will be drumming to make sure they receive
proper protection, care and respect.”

Please feel free to contact us after the drumming takes place on November 7th to share your thoughts and feelings about what this has meant to your cultural and sacred site.

Our kupuna are with us always, in the sky, the land, the sea and in our hearts and we will fight to make sure they know we are with them and we have not forgotten
how important they are to all of us - Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian.

Aloha,

Ann Marie Kirk, Liveable Hawai’i Kai Hui

Drum for our Sacred Cultural Sites throughout Hawai'i Nei
Saturday, November 7th, 2009 at 6pm

Hawea

The drums of Hawea were silenced,
Years of neglect caused its demise.
A once prominent wahipana,
Reduced to rubble and ruin,
Scarred pohaku caused by ignorance,
Left in a pile of disgrace.

A pohaku canvas paints
The history of those long gone.
Sacred `aina used, as was pono,
To build a kauhale, heiau,s
Sacred enclosures for our people,
To come and pay respect.

The essence of the spirit within Hawea
Calls out to be heard.
The vibration echoing the pulse
Of those who have made a stand.
For the sanctity of the Pahu,
The drum to unite us all.

By: Linda Kaleo-o-kalani Paik August, 2009

Please forward to others. Mahalo.

hula sale...

bellydancingetoile — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:30:31 GMT

I'm saying it here & now...
....my hula days will permanently take a back burner. I will only do what I know and not take it any further.
After many starts, I found that my love for Belly Dancing is far above Hula. I will not do any hula-specific or fusion shows....but that does not bar me from a special appearance. It's just I will not be performing hula on a regular basis.
I still love hula, but with the time commitment, and most importantly the commitment to the traditions of hula, I do not wish to alter it to my bellydance lifestyle. I strongly am opposed to fusing this beautiful art form. Hula is a culture, it's a way of life that is meant to be preserved.
Middle Eastern Dance is in the most part, progressive....it changes, you even see other cultural influences within the folk pieces....Bellydance can fit into any category. Hula cannot. I would do it regularly, but my daughter has lost interest in the art and will continue to concentrate in her aerial arts and violin.
I will sell off our pieces in hula that I know I will not need any longer. Before I post it on my superstarbeads tribe or Ebay them, I'll list them here if you or anyone you know has an interest in them....All the items listed here are in superior condition.

iis - pair, natural color - 15.00
Ipu - dark mahogany stain color(red), large size - 40.00
Uli uli - Large pair, red and yellow - 65.00
Uli uli - small pair, red and yellow - 45.00
Uli uli - ONE LARGE, red and yellow - 30.00
Pu'ili - Pair, child size - 15.00

Pa'u skirt - child size med/large, yellow and red (hibiscus flower border) - 30.00

Hawaiian Edu-tainment for the whole family!!

PatriciaRavarra — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 09:01:37 GMT

"Let's Hana Lima"
starring Kumu Hula Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu

The inspiration for Hana Lima came from Kumu Mark pondering an age old adage..
"If you find yourself with a whole lot of nothing to do, and are looking for something to do when you're doing a whole lot of nothing..then let's Hana Lima."

"Hana Lima" is a series of instructional albeit entertaining videos hosted and produced by Kumu Hula Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu and MKH Productions showcasing the art of Hawaiian craft-making. In each Hana Lima video segment, Kumu Mark will take you through the construction of various Hawaiian hula implements such as Pahu (Hawaiian drum), Uli uli (rattle), Puniu (knee drum) and many more. Kumu Mark and the Academy of Hawaiian Arts invite you to share in this gift of Hawaiian craft-making?if not for the education, certainly for the entertainment.

Aloha, and let's Hana Lima!

Hey everyone just wanted to introduce myself. I play Toere, Pahu, Ipu Heke and whateva else I can bang on for my Halau. Kaimikaho Hale O Hula Down here in Phoenix Az. Our Halau mainly focuses on Kahiko which is my Kumus first passion and Tahitian which is my Kumus second. I actually have an arabic percussion background but nuthin gives you the chicken skin like OLI style chants. Anyway thats my 2 cents. One more thing does anyone know where I can get a good Toere Im to lazy to make my own besides there is not alot of black milo wood over here in the valley of the sun :) Glad to be apart of the tribe

Greetings fellow members. I am happy to have joined this tribe.

AnaMaria — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 19:08:17 GMT

I am Ana Maria and I am a dance enthusiast who was lucky to find instructional videos of Hula at Real Hula.com. I am really enjoying them and am going to go all the way to advanced level. Now I am really curious to know if there are any Tahitian dance videos available for purchase online (not the ones by Island Girl's Workout with Kili. Though she sparks the curiosity for Polynesian dance, she doesn't teach the steps in their original form). I would really appreciate if anyone of you can help me with my search. I am very happy to have found a group that discusses Polynesian dances. I would love to learn about their origin, especially about Hula and Tahitian dance. Thank you in advance.

Leo Hone

The paintings of Hawai'i artist (from 1970 -1979), Shari
Keleohoneakekahuli Martens Magno, are hanging in many countries
throughout the world, among them Denmark, England, Australia, Germany
and Canada. While painting was her first love, music became equally
important. Two years after the Alberta government aired a documentary
on her work as an artist, she laid aside her career in painting to
pursue musical studies. Artist and musician, Leohone holds a Master of
Arts degree from Norwich University in Vermont and a Fellowship degree
in Organ Performance from Trinity College of Music, London, England.
From 1982 onwards, she performed organ recitals extensively across
Canada and the Western U.S. until she retired from the concert scene
to Hawaii in 1989. Once settled, she inevitably found her way back to
her first love and has answered her call to paint.

Leohone is the hanai daughter of Paulie Keakealani Jennings, Executive
Producer of the World Invitational Hula Festival, E Ho'i Mai I Ka Pika
Hula. She is presently the Organist/Choirmaster at St. Peter's
Episcopal Church in downtown Honolulu and the Choral Director for the
Prince Kuhio Hawaiian Civic Club Chorale. She paddles with Anuenue
Canoe Club in Waikiki.

Kumu Hula Assoc of SoCal up for a Grammy Nomination for Best Hawaiian Music Album?!

Kapili'oha — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 01:50:18 GMT

Yes, it's true!...

It is official: our Kalakaua CD is on the preliminary ballot for the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album. There are a total of 29 entries that qualified to be on the ballot. The list appears below this message.

This is a critical time. Ballots went out to voters last week. The voting period is approximately one month. The top five vote-getters will be the Nominees for the final voting.

WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY HERE.

The Kalakaua CD contains traditional chants of historical significance.

Kalakaua is the only chant CD that is on the ballot.

The Kalakaua CD embodies everything that Kulia i ka Punawai stands for. Look at our mission statement:

-- To maintain the foundation of the hula (E ho'opa'a i ka mole o ka hula);
-- To perpetuate the hula in unity (E ho'omau a lokahi i ka hula);
-- To develop professionalism in the hula (E ho'oulu i ka 'oihana o ka hula);
-- So that knowledge of the hula will flourish (I mohala ka 'ikena o ka hula).

By qualifying for Grammy contention, we have even greater opportunities:
-- to educate people widely about the heart of our Hawaiian culture-the chants and hulas of the ancestors
-- to increase respect for our Hawaiian culture
-- to bring positive changes to the way that people look at Hawaiian music & culture

This opportunity is NOT about being Grammy nominees.

It is about BRINGING HONOR TO THE LEGACY that all of us have dedicated our lives to perpetuating.

We need to pull together, LOKAHI.
-- We (each halau) will be appearing at promotional appearances at Borders stores. (We’ll keep you updated with dates)
-- Every email to friends and family may find its way to a Grammy voter.
-- Every blog entry at websites may find its way to a Grammy voter.

Please KOKUA.

Jane's Pacific Islands Radio Newsletter (Island Music)
Vol. 6, Edition No.9, October 2006 http://www.pacificislandsradio.com/

This Newsletter is a listening guide to the many wonderful listeners of our
Internet Pacific Islands Radio Stations. http://www.pacificislandsradio.com/index.htm

In addition, the Newsletter will focus on issues relating to Pacific Island music. It
also embraces some of the exciting changes taking place in the Internet Radio Revolution,
as well as updated information on our Pacific Island Artists, Programming and Playlists.

NEWS AND VIEWS

In this edition of our Jane's Pacific Islands Radio (Island Music) Newsletter, it will be
my great pleasure to be able to spend a little time discussing the relationship between the
traditional music and dance forms of Oceania with particular reference to the beautiful
Hawaiian hula.

...........

In Hawaii, traditional chants fall into two broad categories referred to as mele oli and mele hula.
Before the arrival of Europeans in Hawai'i, the term mele was used to mean "poetic language;"
it has since evolved to mean song. In early Hawai'i, there was no melodic singing. Special
bards, or haku mele, spent years learning to compose, recite and teach others to perform
the ancient chants, beginning their training while still children.

Mele oli are chants unaccompanied by any instrument that are generally performed by
one individual; while mele hula are chants accompanied by dance or by dance and
musical instruments. Mele hula are often performed by more than one person. Indeed,
there are dozens of kinds of chants, formal and informal for specific occasions: mele pule
or prayer chants; mele inoa, an individual's name chant; mele koihonua, which recounts
a person's genealogy; mele he'e nalu, a surfing chant. There were chants of angst, chants to
grumble or praise, chants of affection, chants to make a request of someone.

The power (mana) of a chant, lies in its hidden meanings, or kaona. Hidden meanings,
such as rain as a metaphor for love, could make a chant both a recounting of an actual
event within a family's history, or it could tell of the love and passion that one person
might feel for another, depending on who heard and understood the chant.

As the missionary influence became stronger in the islands and the use of the Hawaiian
language was forbidden in public schools in 1896, the art of chanting diminished and
indeed, many of the old chants have sadly been lost forever. Fortunately, in the last
decade, a renaissance of pride in the Hawaiian culture and the rebirth of the
Hawaiian language through immersion classes for youngsters have brought
about a revival of chanting.

Unfortunately, in Hawaii, as in much of the Pacific, the missionaries also did their best
to destroy the native dance forms, and, in particular, the "lewd and lascivious Hawaii
hula". But they wrote detailed accounts of the dances in their diaries, and these,
ironically, have provided a basis for the current revival of the ancient and beautiful
hula.

In this context it is certainly pleasing to see that Kulia i ka Punawai--Kumu Hula
Association of Southern California (a non-profit organization of kumu hula--master
hula instructors--dedicated to perpetuation of hula) has produced a new and exciting CD .
Titled "Kalakaua," the CD presents contemporary settings of historical poetic
repertoire that honours Hawai'i's King David Kalakaua. The centrepiece is a set of 15 mele
composed for Kalakaua's Birthday Jubilee in 1886, and published in the Hawaiian-language
newspapers. The CD contains the work of some twelve award-winning kumu hula who
live and teach throughout Southern California. Every one of the 15 mele is by a different
kumu hula, and the finale of the set, as well as one other track on the CD, are mass numbers
in which all kumu hula participated. All texts and translations are included with the CD, as
well as a historical essay. The CD should be available through Amazon.com and also even
iTunes. In the mean time you are invited to visit Punawai's temporary website at http://sitemaker.umich.edu/punawai

It is certainly worth mentioning that this project represents unprecedented collaborative effort
of hula practice and scholarly research. The scale of historical reconstruction exceeds
anything undertaken to date. The results are indeed a remarkable testament to the strength
and depth of the tradition of the magnificent Hawaii hula in the 21st century.

For information on how to purchase this CD, please contact: kapilioha@comcast.net. It will be available on Amazon.com, Borders and iTunes,as well.

Leo Hone

The paintings of Hawai'i artist (from 1970 -1979), Shari
Keleohoneakekahuli Martens Magno, are hanging in many countries
throughout the world, among them Denmark, England, Australia, Germany
and Canada. While painting was her first love, music became equally
important. Two years after the Alberta government aired a documentary
on her work as an artist, she laid aside her career in painting to
pursue musical studies. Artist and musician, Leohone holds a Master of
Arts degree from Norwich University in Vermont and a Fellowship degree
in Organ Performance from Trinity College of Music, London, England.
From 1982 onwards, she performed organ recitals extensively across
Canada and the Western U.S. until she retired from the concert scene
to Hawaii in 1989. Once settled, she inevitably found her way back to
her first love and has answered her call to paint.

Leohone is the hanai daughter of Paulie Keakealani Jennings, Executive
Producer of the World Invitational Hula Festival, E Ho'i Mai I Ka Pika
Hula. She is presently the Organist/Choirmaster at St. Peter's
Episcopal Church in downtown Honolulu and the Choral Director for the
Prince Kuhio Hawaiian Civic Club Chorale. She paddles with Anuenue
Canoe Club in Waikiki.

Caroline Young: In classical Oriental painting, artists approach
their work the way pianists in the West might approach the existing
compositions of the great masters. Each new painting was a
performance that the artist rehearsed for by practicing the
performance of earlier painters. Contemporary artist Caroline Young
took that wisdom to heart. Her delicate watercolors on silk pay
homage to classical Chinese technique called the "delicate style,"
and the lessons she learned from her mentor, Lam Oi Char. Each is a
virtuoso celebration.

Kim Taylor Reece, Hawaii's foremost fine art photographer, has
been studying hula kahiko for nearly 25 years. A catalyst of
Hawaii's Cultural Renaissance, his photography captures the
mystery and magic of this dance, which for generations has excited
the imaginations of people around the world.

In his research, Kim has traveled with the Hawaii State Foundation of
Culture and the Arts, enabling him to study and work with dancers from
more than 37 different Pacific Islands. His extensive research of
costumes and dances of the early Hawaiians captures the spirit and
essence of this ancient ritual.

His unique style has established the visual standards for hula kahiko.
As millions encounter Kim's work everyday, it helps to preserve
the hula and enrich lives with his fine art photography.

Kim's award winning photography has brought him worldwide
recognition. Over the years, Kim has received 15 Pele Awards
(communication and arts), Print Magazine Awards, Kahili Awards (HVCB),
Travel Journalism Awards and National Community Service Awards. His
images have been acquired by collectors, dignitaries, and museums
internationally.

He studied art at Long Beach State in California and because he is
color-blind was told to "change majors or be a starving artist". He
uses it to his advantage in capturing the subtleties of the kahiko in
black and white. He uses sepia tone to represent the timelessness of
the dance. Kim has been publishing his art prints since 1983.

Kim has a gallery at Sacred Falls, Oahu, Hawaii. "The beauty in nature
of the lush green valley and the striking blue ocean exemplifies what
I am trying to portray through my work." Says the artist of his remote
location.

For those who appreciate hula, Kim Taylor Reece has devoted his
talents to the celebration of Hawaii's ancient dance.

Caroline R Young Art Show at Escolta Fine Arts, Feb 11 & 12, 2006, Union City CA

Caroline Young: In classical Oriental painting, artists approach
their work the way pianists in the West might approach the existing
compositions of the great masters. Each new painting was a
performance that the artist rehearsed for by practicing the
performance of earlier painters. Contemporary artist Caroline Young
took that wisdom to heart. Her delicate watercolors on silk pay
homage to classical Chinese technique called the "delicate style,"
and the lessons she learned from her mentor, Lam Oi Char. Each is a
virtuoso celebration.

Fwd: The Independence Struggle Of Hawai'i

The Independence Struggle Of Hawai'i

By Amy Marsh

Families forced from their homes...live military ordnance left to
explode near schools and homes, maiming or killing the occasional
civilian...huge Stryker vehicles rolling relentlessly over a fragile
landscape as the United States imposes an alien, imperialist
government that brings oppression, genocide and ecological
destruction to the local population and environment...

Iraq? A'ole! No! These are current conditions in the so-called
"state" of Hawai'i. Visitors to Hawai'i, and those who settle there
from the mainland, often remain blissfully unaware of the true
history of this place. Or if they begin to hear a bit about it,
consider the American occupation as a "done deal" and go about their
business.

The worst public health statistics in the region...the lowest
education level...the highest incarceration rate...the most
poverty...the most children in foster care...the most people without
homes...families and communities torn apart by drugs imported by
organized crime...

Typical inhabitants of any American inner city? Nope! They are the
original inhabitants of "America's Vacation Paradise:" they are the
"kanaka maoli," the Native Hawaiians.

A small country with a vibrant spiritual culture forcibly overthrown
by a superpower bent on conquest for military and economic
reasons...the people forced to assimilate foreign ways contrary to
their basic values, denied access to their culture, history and even
their language...a Diaspora of exiles...a struggle for de-occupation
and the re-establishment of their government and sovereign status...

Tibet in 1959? Guess again. It's the Kingdom of Hawai'i, which was a
modern constitutional monarchy and declared neutral nation engaged in
treaty relationships with over fifty other countries - violently
seized in 1893; illegally annexed by the United States through a
domestic resolution; forced into "statehood" in 1959 in violation of
United Nations rules... Given an "apology" for all this by the
Clinton administration in 1993...

A bit of history: on January 17, 1893, Queen Lili`uokalani was forced
from her throne by American businessmen and business-minded
missionary sons, with the help of John L. Stevens, the American
Minister to the Hawaiian Kingdom, and the American navy. The
overthrow was violent, unjustified, insulting, and in complete
violation of international law. U.S. President Benjamin Harrison
apparently gave unofficial encouragement to the conspirators in 1892
and after the overthrow he presented their annexation petition to the
U.S. Senate. But incoming President Grover Cleveland was appalled. He
withdrew the petition before the Senate could act, called for an
investigation, and issued a powerful statement to reinstate the queen
and the rightful government. But the treasonous provisional
government refused to comply. President Cleveland was also opposed by
powerful interests within the United States who were loathe to part
with their juicy prize.

In 1897, approximately 21,000 Hawaiians - more than half the adult
Hawaiian population - signed and presented a petition protesting
annexation to the United States. Congress ignored them. Despite the
petition evidence to the contrary, it was far more lucrative for
Congress to accept the assurances of missionary lobbyists who claimed
the Hawaiians were eager for annexation.

This "Ku'e Petition" of resistance to annexation - 556 pages long,
and possibly one of the most significant documents of protest in
American, as well as Hawaiian, history - was buried deeply in the
U.S. National Archives until it was found by Noenoe Silva in 1998,
over a hundred years later. The discovery of the petition, and the
exhibition of this document by the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, had an
enormous impact on the kanaka maoli, who searched the pages eagerly
for the names of their grandparents and great-grandparents. As Silva
puts it, "The petition, inscribed with the names of everyone's
kupuna, gave people permission from their ancestors to participate in
the quest for national sovereignty. More important, it affirmed for
them that their kupuna had not stood by idly, apathetically, while
their nation was taken from them."

Now, not every Native Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian is a sovereignty
activist working toward restoration of the kingdom. Many have
adjusted to colonization and consider themselves Americans. At most,
they may be supporters of the dangerous Akaka bill, thinking to
preserve Hawaiian "entitlements" through a federal recognition
process that will turn them into the equivalent of American Indians.

But there are many others who recognize the bill for what it is - a
way to finalize the land grab of the Kingdom and take title of
contested kanaka maoli lands once and for all - and who are
vigorously opposed to the bill. They do not consider themselves
"American" and continue to insist upon being recognized as subjects
of the Kingdom. As one man put it to me, when I asked him about his
livelihood, "I work for the Queen." In other words, he has devoted
the rest of his life to the restoration of his country. He is not
alone.

It is easy for people from the mainland to ignore or dismiss the
history of Hawai'i, yet the illegal occupation of Hawai'i continues
to have a huge detrimental effect on the people, the environment and
the culture. The struggle for Hawaiian independence is a long
standing, bitterly fought cause which deserves wider recognition and
support from the rest of the world. Free Hawai'i, now.

Kim Taylor Reece, Winner of the PIFA (Pacific Islander Festival
Association) 2005 Artist of the Year Award at the San Diego Pacific
Islander Festival.
http://gallery133688.fotopic.net/c706601.html

Kim Taylor Reece, Hawaii's foremost fine art photographer, has
been studying hula kahiko for nearly 25 years. A catalyst of
Hawaii's Cultural Renaissance, his photography captures the
mystery and magic of this dance, which for generations has excited
the imaginations of people around the world.

In his research, Kim has traveled with the Hawaii State Foundation of
Culture and the Arts, enabling him to study and work with dancers from
more than 37 different Pacific Islands. His extensive research of
costumes and dances of the early Hawaiians captures the spirit and
essence of this ancient ritual.

His unique style has established the visual standards for hula kahiko.
As millions encounter Kim's work everyday, it helps to preserve
the hula and enrich lives with his fine art photography.

Kim's award winning photography has brought him worldwide
recognition. Over the years, Kim has received 15 Pele Awards
(communication and arts), Print Magazine Awards, Kahili Awards (HVCB),
Travel Journalism Awards and National Community Service Awards. His
images have been acquired by collectors, dignitaries, and museums
internationally.

He studied art at Long Beach State in California and because he is
color-blind was told to "change majors or be a starving artist". He
uses it to his advantage in capturing the subtleties of the kahiko in
black and white. He uses sepia tone to represent the timelessness of
the dance. Kim has been publishing his art prints since 1983.

Kim has a gallery at Sacred Falls, Oahu, Hawaii. "The beauty in nature
of the lush green valley and the striking blue ocean exemplifies what
I am trying to portray through my work." Says the artist of his remote
location.

For those who appreciate hula, Kim Taylor Reece has devoted his
talents to the celebration of Hawaii's ancient dance.

LEO HONE

The paintings of Hawai'i artist (from 1970 -1979), Shari
Keleohoneakekahuli Martens Magno, are hanging in many countries
throughout the world -among them Denmark, England, Australia, Germany
and Canada. While painting was her first love, music became equally
important. Two years after the Alberta government aired a documentary
on her work as an artist, she laid aside her career in painting to
pursue musical studies. Artist and musician, Leohone holds a Master of
Arts degree from Norwich University in Vermont and a Fellowship degree
in Organ Performance from Trinity College of Music, London, England.
From 1982 onwards, she performed organ recitals extensively across
Canada and the Western U.S. until she retired from the concert scene
to Hawaii in 1989. Once settled, she inevitably found her way back to
her first love and has answered her call to paint.

Leohone is the hanai daughter of Paulie Keakealani Jennings, Executive
Producer of the World Invitational Hula Festival, E Ho'i Mai I Ka Pika
Hula. She is presently the Organist/Choirmaster at St. Peter's
Episcopal Church in downtown Honolulu and the Choral Director for the
Prince Kuhio Hawaiian Civic Club Chorale. She paddles with Anuenue
Canoe Club in Waikiki.

Gary Hostallero

As a seven-year-old second grade student in Hawaii, Gary was supposed
to create a thank you card for his class. Gary says "I couldn't even
draw a good stick figure…so I found someone else to do the work, and I
turned it in as my own. When the teacher saw it, she was dazzled. She
said it was the best she had ever seen! I felt so guilty! I decided my
only hope to be redeemed was to learn how to draw and paint."

Since then the words: "The best I've ever seen" haunts and motivates
Gary to develop the exceptional artistic and philosophical depth that
he puts into his art.

As a child, the legends and stories of the samurai fascinated Gary.
Eventually, "the way of the warrior" (Bushido) and it's philosophy
became a part of Gary's devotion to discipline, courage and pursuit of
perfection.

After serving in the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam and surviving the Tet
offensive, Gary lived in Japan for three years. Here his
multi-cultural (Korean, Filipino, Spanish) family background drew him
to the spirit, aesthetics, and exoticism of the Orient like a fish to
water…

With a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Hawaii, Gary
returned home to seek a career in commercial art. His Air Force
experience drew him towards the field of aviation and space technology
where he secured a position in Seattle with the Boeing Company and
later in San Francisco with the Lockheed Corporation.

Now Gary is dedicating his time to his family and the expression of
his life experiences as well as his studies of Taekwondo, Karate,
mixed media graphics and printing, and other artistic techniques in
his continuing pursuit of perfection. Gary also donates much of his
time and art to various community organizations/events in Arizona,
California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and other states. While in
Arizona, look for his work at either the Matsuri Festival or the
Arizona Aloha Festival. Gary does a personal appearances and annully
appears at Esolta's Fine Art in Union City, California to debute his
newest creations.

dancers of Hālau o Keikiali?i at Kapono?s / Aloha Tower in O`ahu Oct 13 (thurs) and Uncle Mikey?s in Waiakea Villas Hilo, Hawai`i Oct 15 (sat).

Honolulu Advertiser Columnist Wayne Harada says, ?Kāwika Alfiche, a San Francisco-based kumu hula and artist, is to his city what Keali?i Reichel is to Maui: an inspiration to his culture. This array includes numerous originals that offer peeks into his life, ?Mele and oli alike are nourishing, reflecting aspects of everyday life; ?Kaleili?i? was penned while putting a baby to sleep, ?E Ola Hilo? anticipated a trip, ?Na Mauna Ho?oheno? recounts a visit to the mountains of the Big Island, ?Hōkūlani? pays homage to Hōkūlani Holt-Padilla of Maui. Alfiche tracks moments of life with eloquence.?

Cd?s will be available at the performance. There will be a hula
performance from the
dancers of Halau o Keikiali`i.

1 Aloha Tower, Honolulu, HI 96813,US - $5 Cover Charge, 21 & up

10/15/2005 7:00pm show (doors open at 6pm) ? Uncle Mikey?s (Waikaea Villas) $5 cover charge

more information: www.myspace.com/kawikaalfiche

?N?lei? is a beautiful collection of original Hawaiian music that keeps true to tradition. Featured on this 14-track compilation are ?E P? Mai Ka Makani?
(?Gentle Breezes Blow My Way?) and ?H?k?lani? (?Starlit Heavens?) which are two of the 9 original compositions now playing on the airwaves in Hawai?i and on the mainland.

?N?lei? is not only the bringing together of beautiful harmonies but it?s also about ohana (family). Entitled "N?lei" in honor of K?wika?s late Uncle Roy N?lei Castro, the contemplative sounds of mele (music) and oli (chants) resonate with the theme of the CD: ?Embracing our past...guides our tomorrow? which expresses the idea of preservation, perpetuation and
commemoration of the kupuna (ancestors).

A portion of the proceeds from this showcase benefits

Kim Taylor Reece, Winner of the PIFA (Pacific Islander Festival
Association) 2005 Artist of the Year Award at the San Diego Pacific
Islander Festival.
http://gallery133688.fotopic.net/c706601.html

Kim Taylor Reece, Hawaii's foremost fine art photographer, has
been studying hula kahiko for nearly 25 years. A catalyst of
Hawaii's Cultural Renaissance, his photography captures the
mystery and magic of this dance, which for generations has excited
the imaginations of people around the world.

In his research, Kim has traveled with the Hawaii State Foundation of
Culture and the Arts, enabling him to study and work with dancers from
more than 37 different Pacific Islands. His extensive research of
costumes and dances of the early Hawaiians captures the spirit and
essence of this ancient ritual.

His unique style has established the visual standards for hula kahiko.
As millions encounter Kim's work everyday, it helps to preserve
the hula and enrich lives with his fine art photography.

Kim's award winning photography has brought him worldwide
recognition. Over the years, Kim has received 15 Pele Awards
(communication and arts), Print Magazine Awards, Kahili Awards (HVCB),
Travel Journalism Awards and National Community Service Awards. His
images have been acquired by collectors, dignitaries, and museums
internationally.

He studied art at Long Beach State in California and because he is
color-blind was told to "change majors or be a starving artist". He
uses it to his advantage in capturing the subtleties of the kahiko in
black and white. He uses sepia tone to represent the timelessness of
the dance. Kim has been publishing his art prints since 1983.

Kim has a gallery at Sacred Falls, Oahu, Hawaii. "The beauty in nature
of the lush green valley and the striking blue ocean exemplifies what
I am trying to portray through my work." Says the artist of his remote
location.

For those who appreciate hula, Kim Taylor Reece has devoted his
talents to the celebration of Hawaii's ancient dance.

Caroline Young: In classical Oriental painting, artists approach
their work the way pianists in the West might approach the existing
compositions of the great masters. Each new painting was a
performance that the artist rehearsed for by practicing the
performance of earlier painters. Contemporary artist Caroline Young
took that wisdom to heart. Her delicate watercolors on silk pay
homage to classical Chinese technique called the "delicate style,"
and the lessons she learned from her mentor, Lam Oi Char. Each is a
virtuoso celebration.

Saving Mauna Kea, the sacred mountain

Fri, 24 Jun 2005 23:03:18 GMT

Aloha kakou,
The email below is from Ku Ching, one of the appelants in the Mauna Kea case on Hawai'i island. Please note that this appeal is the only thing standing between the sacred mountain and its further desecration. As hula students and performers, we should be ready to help preserve the sacred sites of Hawai'i.
Amy
------------
From Ku:

Note: Despite the fact that Lea Hong, Bill Tam and Dexter Kaiama (our attorneys) are doing this appeal for us pro se, we are still liable for all costs and expenses. Unfortunately these amount to a couple of thousand dollars. While some of us appellants have raided our own pockets, and there have been some cash donations from the general public (especially from some of our friends in the East Bay area), we need to raise more money.

Please send your much-needed donations to KAHEA, PO Box 27112, Honolulu, HI 96827 - 0112 - Re: Mauna Kea Appeal.

Thanks a lot from the appellants and Mauna Kea.

Ku

-----------------------------------------------------
Appeal of Mauna Kea outrigger project begins

Opponents want plan for all of the summit

By Hunter Bishop, Tribune-Herald staff writer - Sunday, June 19, 2005

Does state law require a management plan for the entire summit of Mauna Kea? Or should the state Land Board's approval of the Keck Observatory's outrigger telescope project stand?

Third Circuit Court Judge Glen Hara heard arguments on both sides Friday as he considers the state Land Board's decision to allow the $50 million NASA-funded outrigger project.

The outrigger project - up to eight [sic: should have been six] mirrors 6 feet across housed in 35-foot domes configured in a circle to combine the light from existing Keck telescopes into a single, powerful image - was approved in October by the Land Board after 10 days of contested case hearings sought by Mauna Kea Anaina Hou and the Royal Order of Kamehameha I, both Hawaiian cultural groups, the Hawaii chapter of the Sierra Club, and a Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner [guess who?].

Project foes appealed the Land Board's approval to Third Circuit Court. Hara can either approve the project or send it back to the Land Board for reconsideration.

Much of the argument Friday revolved around the management plan, or lack of one.

The appellants' attorney Lea Hong, said the University of Hawaii's initial application for the outrigger project relied on a 1995 management plan, which did not provide for any projects such as the outrigger.

But in the contested case hearing, Hong said UH rejected the 1995 plan and instead sought simultaneous approval of the outrigger project and a management plan that included "relevant sections of the 2000 master plan."

The 2000 plan was never approved by the Land Board, which leases the summmit of Mauna Kea to the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. Only the UH Board of Regents approved the 2000 master plan, which is like the "fox guarding the hen house," Hong said.

He (sic: should be "She") said the Department of Land and Natural Resources "flip-flopped" its position in the middle of the contested case hearing.

"The university wants permission to develop what it wants, any way it wants," Hong said, "with no accounting to the DLNR or the public."

The appellants want the outrigger project halted and the management plan thrown out until the university's IfA is "required to provide and DLNR is required to review and approve a long-term sustainable comprehensive management plan for the summit of Mauna Kea that clearly delineates ... responsibilities, enforcement authority, and financial commitments prior to allowing any further development on Mauna Kea."

Lisa Munger, attorney for the university, claims in court filings that the appellants are simply trying to further delay the project, which is nearly four years behind schedule.

Judge Hara allowed the appellants to submit material that was not considered in the contested case hearing, including documents pertaining to rules for the summit of Mauna Kea discussed by the Land Board in 1993 and 1994.

Julie China, a state deputy attorney general representing the Land Board, argued that state law does not mention a management plan. "There's been no flip-flopping." she said. The 1994 rules were the first one that included a management plan. "The DLNR read these rules as being site-specific," or in other words, just for the outrigger project, a 0.39-acre portion of a five-acre site on which the outrigger project would be located.

"The appellants want something different - a summit-wide management plan," said Munger. "That's not in the rules. The decision was not erroneous. They want to apply intent, not the rules." State law says the department shall regulate land use in a conservation district by permits. "That's what we applied for. The hearings officer said the plan satisfied the requirments.

"The board applied clear rules, the applicant followed them, and the hearing officer agreed. There was no flip-flopping."

Munger also argued that when the law says "parcel," it means the site-specific portion of the land being developed - in this case, the outrigger parcel.

Hong said that interpretation is "plainly erroneous," and that "parcel" means the entire summit of Mauna Kea, with the intent of the law being to "maintain long-term sustainability and protection of the eco-system."

Kaliko Kanaele, a member of the Royal Order of Kamehameha, one of the appellant groups, said after the hearing that, "intent is the spirit of the law .... Without intent, you take away the check-and balance."

Paul Neves, I [sic: should be "Ai"] Moku of the Royal Order's Hilo chapter, said that if the appellants lose on Mauna Kea, "you're going to see nothing but the Silicon Valley up there humming away."

No schedule for the judge's decision on the appeal was set.

Read this and weep/Impact of Akaka Bill/David Ingham's visit to OHA

Sat, 21 May 2005 14:37:02 GMT

Aloha Kakou,
I feel very strongly that it's important to post this personal account of David Ingham and Ku's (Clarence Ching) recent visit to OHA to discuss the ramifications of the Akaka bill, far and wide. Ku is a kanaka maoli kupuna, and a former OHA administrator and a lawyer, so among other things, he knows the inside workings of OHA and his comments are informed with this as well as his legal insight. Though not a lawyer or kanaka maoli, David has become one of the most respected analysts on the impact of each one of the many versions of the Akaka bill.

Aside from the points raised in this missive from Ku (who has posted this report on other lists), there is one other than can be added to the "Akaka is a bad idea" repertoire: Akaka bill does nothing to address the existence and rights of descendents of Hawaiian nationals--that is, the descendents of people who were lawful citizens of the Hawaiian kingdom, though not kanaka maoli. This is a tremendous legal fly in the ointment of the Akaka bill, though unrecognized by most in government.

If you're a voter, and a lover of Hawaiian culture, it would be great if you could become informed about this issue so that you can write to your representatives and tell them your opinion. Hopefully, after you examine this posting and other info, that opinion will be "vote no."

The vote is coming up this summer, and if you want to see the U.S. complete the illegal land grab of Hawai'i, by all means, do nothing. Just remember that in 1993 the Clinton administration created a public apology resolution which states acknowledges that (1) the takeover was illegal and (2) Hawaiians have never relingquished land or sovereignty. Akaka bill, though purporting to protect kanaka maoli assets, will actually give away everything that's left. All pau. And for what? More Walmart and military bases? More homeless Hawaiians?

Thank you in advance for reading this long, long email.
Amy Marsh

Subj: David's visit to OHA
Date: Friday, May 20, 2005 10:14:17 AM
From: Waihili
To: Waihili

From: kahiwal@cs.com
Subject: David's visit to OHA

First of all, this is MY (Ku's) report. At this very moment (11:56 a.m. on
Tuesday, May 17), David is either at Honolulu airport preparing for his 1 p.m.
flight home) or on his way to the airport. I don't purport to speak for David.
He will probably make his own report after he gets home.

David and Ku were picked up at the airport and, after breakfast, ended up at
the OHA boardroom. Oz was our host and was the only trustee present in the
beginning. Carpenter came in after awhile. Also present were folks from
"Governance," which must be equivalent to a department, and a few trustee aides - of
Haunani Apoliona and Linda DelaCruz.

From beginning around 9 a.m. to end of approximately 11:30, David had their
attention for nearly 2 1/2 hours. And I was able to chime in from time to time.

Everything went well. We made our points. However, the general reaction might
have been - "We are aware of most of the "problems" that David brought up."
But, the note taking was fast and furious. It seems that some of the
citations that David shared were really not all that familiar to those present.
Interesting. Neither were some of the names of "Indian" writers who are writing
more on our side of the situation.

We were also able to assess their pro-akaka position -

1) They want to protect Hawaiian entitlements - but they're thinking mostly
about the money.

This is not an unreasonable position in light of the trustees' fiduciary
responsibility to the trust corpus (whatever it is, but I would include the
so-called "ceded lands" and its income in perpetuity) and its beneficiaries.
However, from my perspective, for OHA to attempt to "protect" a partial trust corpus
and its beneficiaries but not protecting the "goose" (our independence and
"ceded lands" in their entireties) is the wrong way to go. AND, bottom line,
akaka does NOT directly or indirectly protect ANY entitlements (as the myths
claim it does). Additionally, instead of Hawaiians being defined as a political
group, akaka guarantees that Hawaiians will be defined as a racial group. This
is not what is needed if the "Arakaki" lawsuit is going to be defeated.

2) They are also somewhat pro-independence - they think that the akaka bill
is the FIRST step towards independence. However, on the contrary, both David
and I stressed that "akaka" is the LAST step towards NON-independence - there
can be no u.s. supported independence for "trust americans" (and no Indian
tribe has been able to breach that barrier - which is against u.s. federal
policy, and court cases), as federal policy and the plenary powers of the federal
government make "independence" an almost impossible status to realize once
you're "in."

3) They want to have a process (that the akaka bill provides) in place so
that if and when "the people" want to go that a (federal recognition) way, that
this "federal" process will be in place and ready to be utilized. However, this
may be a dangerous stance. Like a large boulder poised to take off down a
hill that can be loosed with just a small impediment removed, the "governing
entity" and the consequences of the akaka bill could take off down the hill,
busting up everything in its way.

Maybe what I'm driving at here is that the akaka bill does not really
contain any checks and balances. Because there aren't any minimum numbers or
percentages of (the Hawaiian population) for participation in the akaka "roll," is it
possible that 9 "Hawaiians" can get together to be that roll, elect
themselves to the Native Hawaiian Interim Governing Council, and begin to inplement the
process? Once the first set of "Organic Documents" are submitted to the
Secretary and/or the Department of Interior, we are sunk. This is because
everything that procedurally follows this step is "mandatory" (all operations become
"shall" processes) and, upon meeting all the conditions and requirements of the
bill, Hawaiians, now having given up their "rights," with acceptance of all of
this by the u.s., with "federal recognition" being granted somewhere in here,
now have the ability to "negotiate" whatevers.

u.s. m.o. on land negotiations from many examples of Indian "treaties,"
etc., usually end with the Indians getting back approximately 10% of their
original lands. Maybe the 200,000 acres of DHHL lands will be that 10% that
Hawaiians will end up negotiating for. Are Hawaiians willing to give up on all the
remaining (1.6 million or more) acres of the so-called "ceded" lands?

The difficulties that enter here are major. Our absolute "Kingdom" title to
the so-called "ceded" lands are by now deleted. The u.s. claims to these lands
(by, among other things, the Newlands Resolution) becomes superior - although
the lands will supposedly be held in trust. On the other hand, Hawaiians will
now become beneficiaries of the trust (they may already be beneficiaries of
this "new" trust that could be said to be in the process of reorganization) and
wards (joining minors and imbeciles) of the federal government, or
second-class citizens (instead of the first-class citizens that they may currently be).

However, the overall feeling I got is that OHA, through the trustees
present, isn't too far from OUR position. It's just that they are on the other side
of the dividing line. With continued "consultation" on our part and their
getting used to hearing our position (of complete independence), plus their
essential realization that saving the "money" entitlements without saving the actual
"lands" (that they think they can do, but we don't, by successful
"negotiations" of the akaka bill) will only give us a partial, temporary, and fatal, not
a permanent, solution.

In addition, getting recognized may also be a temporary thing. Termination
is still one of the arrows in the u.s. quiver. And, if termination (of the
Hawaiian governing entity) ever takes place, those 200,000 acres can be dissolved
into the greedy hands of the u.s. (because of their now superior title, the
plenary powers of the federal government, and the body of Indian law and federal
policy that is in place) without compensation.

On the other hand, let me stress that it IS necessary to keep the lines of
communication open. Sorry folks, even though some of you may be so frustrated
from our past un-success with them (OHA and its trustees). We need to be able
to agree to disagree (if that is necessary, and it is). That respect for
ourselves and each other is a very important tenet of our philosophy of existence,
thought and spirituality.

However, one of the glaring shortcomings I noticed is that there hasn't been
much done at OHA on our economic self-sufficiency - as it relates to energy,
future balance of trade aspects, food, etc. of our "new" nation. Other than
tacit agreement, putting ideas of the negative effects of the Jones Act, and our
inability to suppress in-migration of internationals AND from the other 49
states under the american system, on the table didn't elicit the significant
negative reaction that I had hoped for.

My personal belief is that if Hawaiians put themselves under u.s.
jurisdiction through federal recognition - that we will eventually (I don't know when)
will be annihilated as a people and culture. Is Ku crazy or what? Well, folks,
look around and see what has been going on, then extrapolate the result of
additional years' of the same process - we will be overrun with moneyed americans
(because we can't restrict their "freedom of travel" within the boundaries of
the u.s.) and other people, and we will continue to be economic have-beens,
additionally, with our on-going educational, economic and health problems, and
we will sink into oblivion.

(During my lifetime, for instance in Pauoa Valley, where once there were
Hawaiians, they are now a rarity. Where did the Kauhola, Melemai, Kane, Pulawa,
Kaneaiakala, Kaaikala, Nahoi, Kahaulelio, and so many other Hawaiian families
gone. Yep. Hawaiian families, in the interim, have migrated to Waimanalo and
other places on the Leeward coast. However, then they have moved themselves from
those places to the neighbor islands, and now to the so-called "mainland."
Yep. Las Vegas may become the center of Hawaiian population. As for me, the
trend I'm also experiencing, is that I keep on being the token Hawaiian at social
gatherings that I attend. Where in hell are all these haole coming from? And
where are they getting the money to buy up all the vacant land surrounding
us, and building multi-dollar houses? Parcels of real estate around me have
doubled in recent months. Where will it all stop? I'm sorry to say that I don't
think it'll all stop. We will continue to be subject to this uncontrolled
influx of people and their money. Taxes and gasoline prices will continue to
escalate - and Hawaiians will continue to migrate away from the 'aina, one family at
a time. It'll be a cold day in hell when the Hawaiian population of Hawai'i
island gets to be as bleak as the present situation in Pauoa Valley. The
future does not look promising to me at all.)

However, it might be interesting if "we" start going through some of these
necessary exercises ourselves (separate from OHA initiatives).

We need to ask and answer: What will be ALL of the real and unreal effects of
the akaka bill on ALL areas of our concern?

question for AHA dancers

Heather — Fri, 27 May 2005 18:17:18 GMT

Hello!
I dance for Auntie Renee's halau in San Carlos but I will most likely be joining Auntie's Thursday class at AHA this summer since I can't make the classes when she reopens her halau in Burlingame in the fall. I was just wondering what her class is like at AHA, from the dancers' point of view. Are there are many dancers? Does she move fairly quickly? Oh and one stupid one that I forgot to ask her: does she require black or white pa'u skirts? Thanks for all your help! =)
