Manao on Hawaiian Sovereignty

by Carolyn
(Washington, State)

We have been planning on retiring to Hawaii, we have been watching this site and we are wondering, if we buy property on the Big Island, and freedom is won, what happens do we still own the property, do we get to keep the property and stay in Hawaii?

Good Question
by: David

It is something I have thought about a lot myself. I was born in Chicago. I have no Koko, or hawaiian blood. I have 2 sons born here, keiki o ka aina.

What happens if Hawaii is free from US occupation?

If you look at the original 1840 Kingdom of Hawaii Constitution, I think it shows what the Hawaiian Kingdom was all about.

The kingdom was based on the belief and knowledge that we were only passing glances in the big scheme of things. Ke Akua(god) was the real owner of everything, including us.

We were only caretakers.

In the 1840 constitution, land was held by private parties as tenants for Ke akua. This was the case all the way up to the Ali`i. Land was passed on to future generations, but in alloidial titles.

Furthermore, all people were created equal in the eyes of the constitution, there was no blood quantum. The blood quantum was created by the US. Although the blood quantum has given some Hawaiians much needed assistance, it has also divided families and people that care about the aina.

It is my hope and belief that the ways of old would come back without the laws imposed by the US.

I have a deep respect for the founding principles of the US, but the practices put forth in Hawaii are not respectful to me, and they need to be corrected.

Acknowledgement
by: Anonymous

I was told that the sovereign Hawaiian's intent is not to displace anyone. They just want acknowledgement that their land was stolen. Sounds fair to me. Their land was stolen indeed. This is an atrocity I would like to see undone.

My Mana'o to land purchase...
by: Anonymous

Carolyn... I must ask you. If you buy any item with questionable ownership/title, is there a risk involved? Should independence be won, it would be very possible that their would be claimants. It would also be reasonable to assume that the person who sold you property without clear title should reimburse you or face law suits and possible prosecution. Before buying land, check and see if there is clear title to the land. If land purchased was on Hawaiian government land I would also think it reasonable to ask that you pay your property taxes to the rightful government of the government de jure.
