Dedicated to bringing you up to date info on the Big Island, we rely upon input from residents and visitors. The Big Island Blog posts updates from our website on what is happening in Hawaii.Welcome to the Big Island Blog of Updates. The year is 2009, and our oceans are still clean. At least here in Hawaii. Big Island beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world. Big Island restaurants are some of the most diverse, and extraordinary on the planet. And the Hotels and resorts are amazing. We have an abundance of income from the worlds desire to visit our islands. Underneath it all there is a little turmoil. The Hawaiian Islands were illegally overthrown by a mock government, supported by U.S. Marines, in 1893. It took 5 years for the United States to approve a resolution that made Hawaii a part of the United States. In 1993, a hundred years later, the Senate and House of Representatives made public law 103-150, a official apology to the Hawaiian people. President Clinton signed this document, and made it official. The United States acknowledged that Hawaii was illegally overthrown and taken by the United States. So here we are. We welcome the world. Deep inside though we long to be free. The funny thing is most people think Hawaii wanted to be part of the U.S. Let the Blog of updates begin Aug 23, 2010, 26th KOHALA COUNTRY FAIR - Hawi - Big Island of Hawaii - October 2, 2010Please visit us at: http://www.kohalacountryfair.com Aug 23, 2010, Bob Shaffer, vice president Hawaii Tea Society soilculture@aol.comPlease join us for this educational workshop with presentations by Bob Perry of Perry Ag Lab, and Bob Shaffer of Soil Culture Consulting and learn about Aug 23, 2010, For Life and Liberty in the Land of AlohaALOHA UPRISING!
