To the Forum:
Freddy Rice’s
victory in the U.S. Supreme Court should serve as a final wake-up call to all
Kanaka Maoli.
This case should never have come before the Supreme Court to
begin with. We are the original people of our land. We do not need the U.S.
Supreme Court or the United States to tell us what our rights as Kanaka Maoli
are.
With the door now wide open for assaults on our most basic rights, it
is time to unify once and for all.
I call upon all Kanaka Maoli and all of
our supporters to come to Washington, DC this Aug. 11-12 and march with us in
unity in the Aloha March 2000. We must show the United States that it cannot
dictate our future to us.
We as Kanaka Maoli are sick and tired of being
told to forget our culture and assimilate. What I want for my ‘ohana and my
people is the basic right of self-determination. Let us all march in unity in
Washington, DC in August and deliver our message to America and the
world.
