An Investigation: Who is the Ali'i Mo'i of the Mokupuni Of Kaua'i?




OK, to put this whole issue to rest. Here is the truth and the real history.

There are the sacred kapu cheifs and cheifesses of Kauai. THey were numerous.

But there are only 24 historically listed, accepted lines of Ali'i Mo'i class on Kauai. The overwhelming majority of these names carry the ancient naming codes of Kauai in them. Most names start with the letter K. There is not one single solitary reference to the name "Atooi" in any one of these names.

Above and beyond even the class of Alii Mo'i, there is the true, sacred lineage of the KAPU Cheifs of Kauai.
They were and are still called Alii Pio.

They are not "Customary Cheifs.". THey are even higher then Alii Moi.

On Kauai there were Moi's for different sides of the island, namely Westside, and northshore/Eastside. Our island has mostly been divided in this way.

Since the years of 1200.

There are 24 Historical Alii Mois, and their decendent lines.

IN an 1833-1910 Marriage records, there is one Aipoalani, from 1846, and 2 Kanakaoles from 1833 or therabouts. Both from the Westside.

However there are 52 Opunuis. These are the Pio lines. The purest blood in Hawaii.

Amung the records there are many with the Kauai surname. In almost one hundred years there is not one single name on either side of the records which shows the name of "Atooi".

All who know the geneology know that the history reflects in the names.

As I have stated all along, the ruling family is the Kawananakoas. There is written proof, a direct edict from the Queen, and the fact that the Kawananakoas are Kauai Pio lines, would also make Kauai the ruling house.

The cheifly names of the last more then one hundred years are numerous from the Westside.

I do not doubt that Dayne Gonsalves mothers side has enough blood to claim a konohiki status. OF that I have no doubt. These are minor wohi regional cheifly classes, the same rank as Kamehameha the 1, before he elevated himself with the help of the english and captain cook.

The geneology on his side reflects however, more ties to the big island, and Oahu then Kauai.

There are approximately 500 or so Pio names from Kauai. Pio names are ONLY found on Kauai, AND NO OTHER ISLAND!! By 1833, to 1910, about half of those remained.
These families had numerous marriages, and many were from the Westside, as well as the Puna, Waioli, Hanalei, and other areas.

However that is not enough to claim Ali'i Mo'i status, and certainly not the right lines to claim Pio.

However this is my opinion, however, I have intesively gone over the geneologies carefully.
The Aipoalani claims are from a Ali'i Mo'i from about the 16th century. However, Aipoalani was a retainer, and not the Mo'i himself. The Mo'i he traveled with was reviled, and removed from Kauai, and was hiding o0n Oahu, and was eventually murdered there. AIpoalani escaped, and lived to an old age, with living children. THe geneology however climaed only one AIpoalani on Kauai. That contrasts with the large families of the Pio and Moi classes on Kauai. Of the 3rd ALii Moi on Kauai from the 13th century, Laamaikahiki, by the 1833 census there was only one left on Kauai.

The Kanaka'oles are from a cheifly line, of course, everyone knows that. However they are a Big Island Ohana, with very minimal ties to Kauai.

Irregardless of all of this, according to the constitutions of Queen Liliuokalani, and her brother, the ascension to the thrones, and Moi status or governorships of the other islands, are inherent in their public proclamations which did claim that on the event of Ka'iulanis death without issue, that Prince David would be the heir apperent. And that his 2 sons and one daughter, would also carry that tittle of Princess, and Prince. That is why Princess Abigail, and Prince Quentin Kawananakoa, her nephew legally carry the title today.

The constitution clearly states that unless you are named in the line of succession you have no claim to rule as a Alii Mo'i. Further, it is required that you be elected and chosen by the council of cheifs.

On Kauai, that ascension, was given to several people during the constitutional government, from clear Pio lines.

After the death of Deborah Kapule, the QUeen {Liliu) named these to suceed on Kauai:

These were ALii Nui, and ALii:

Ever single one of these family have PIO lines, or at least the level of ALi'i Nui. AS you can see, we even had a female Governor of Kauai as well.

Further, I want everyone to note, NO WHERE is the word ATOOI ever used in any of these official documents including the documents issued by prominent historians oif HAWAIAAN ANCESTRY.

There is not ONE SINGLE CHANT that I can recall, remember or find. I havd even called other Kumu Hulas who are renowned and respected. I have consulted renowned Native Hawaiian geneologists. I have searched and searched in hope of validating just for my own peace of mind the claims that Kauai was EVER called ATOOI.

hHat I did discover, however, was that the recollections of my hanai ohana, who have passed on correctly told me of other names of Kauai. Most notably that of Kauai Mano Ka Lani Po. This Alii Moi was the only King of Kauai to have his name linked to the island, and it carried on that way for hundreds of years. It still remains in chants and moolelos today.

There is the older sacred name of Kauai as well. There is also the renaming of Hanalei from its former name of Hale Le'a, but the ahupuaa remained the same.

There are the expected names of "Opu", "Moo" and "Maka" names and the "Kawahine" names that dominate the Pio lists. Further, the Kawelo dynasties and others such as the Keawe lines as well. These are the solid Moi lines.

I do not write this to be offensive, hewa, rude, mahaoi or niele. I write it because I am a historian, a chanter, and a keeper of Moolelo, and geneologies are part of what I do. Because I beleive so strongly in the Monarchy, and the cheifly class, I study this intently and have increased my study over the last 10 or so years.

The cheifly class is alive and well. But we must follow a constitution. A proper one. One that has already being done. There is no reinventing of the wheel. But there is something called "jumping the gun".

I sincerely hope there is no offense in this posting. But I had to do it, much as it pains me to do it.

I have personally met Prince Edward and Princess Abigail. My hanai dear Gramma Rachel supported their claims. As does most of Hawaii Nei. To now have Dayne claiming to be the King of Kauai, is something I would like nothing better but to prove. I tried using whatever tools I had at my disposal. But in the end, I have to conclude, based on the facts at hand, that at least for the overall Moi status there is just not enough evidence there to suggest that he has a strong enough claim to it.

The facts are the facts and cannot be changed, that the Kawananakoas are not only the Moi of Kauai, but also the Pio lines, and are the Heir apperents. TO all of Hawaii, as deemed by her Majesty, Queen Liliuokalani, according to the Hawaiian Constitution and the council of Cheifs. Because the Kawananakoas are alive and well, and the direct issue of blood is unbroken, at this time, they are the legitimate heir apperents to both Kauai, and the entire Mokupuni Pae AIna. However, I am sure that when they are restored to their rightful place, they may seem fit to bestow upon Dayne the title of Alii Mo'i if they choose to, or the title of Alii Nui, or ALii, or Konohiki Nui, or konohiki Iki. Whatever is bestowed upon Dayne, I am sure that he will make a kind, generous and benevolent cheif.

But I do have to say that through all of this investigation I have surely learned a lot. And now I have even more knowledge of the geneologies and histories then I did originally and a lot more to keep stored away in my memory.

ALoha no.

Lawmakers visit homeless to seek input on solutions | honoluluadvertiser.com | The Honolulu Advertiser

a full report on this visit later. I spoke personally to Mizuno for over an hour. While Cabanilla makes caliys statements about public housing residents, and then trots dow to Waianae to make a solid case for evicting public housing residents, Mizuno seemed to be willing to listen to reason. I can tell you that Cabanillas goal is to evict public housing residents. Mizuno I am hoiping has changed his mind. The situation of poeple being homeless is not caused by the homeless themselves. ANd good law abiding rent poaying long term residents should not be forcced back onto the beach in an exchange of hostages of war. I wil;l be adfding more to this post as I continue my fight against any such legislation.

shame and hewa i hate to say i told u so but i told u so.

Both of my coalitions are on high alert and fully prepared to fight any legislation in January that will compormise the health safety and welfare of law abiding housing residents whose only crime is not earning enough to support outside rentals.

although they see me and my little coalition as no threat to them, they m,ight feel differently in 2012.

contact me if u are ready to fight the good fight

Got WIndmills post, and my history with the "Olelo Hawai'i or the Hawaiian language

http://parxnewsdaily.blogspot.com/2010/06/word-imperfect.html (link to aundy's post)

Oh I LOVED this post, Andy. Kumu Illei was not my first teacher of 'Olelo. That teaching came originally from hanai 'ohana, with my first formal introduction to the "university style" coming from the late Kumu Helena Maka Santos, who single handedly created a new interest in 'olelo Hawai'i mostly amung the born and raised of the North Shore. I spoke it,semi- passaby although often broken up with English with the North Shore dialect but did not know how to read or write the language.

However here is some history which I'm sure you already know.

The people of Hawai'i never used the 'okina and the kahako before when the language became a written one with the first printing of Na Bibela. The Exception was among the Ali'i. As I am sure you know, there was the "upper class" 'Olelo, reserved for the Ali'i, and the court and retainers, and the language of the common people, which was what I was familiar with.

When the Ali'i dealt with other leaders and countries, the language was often used more phoneticlly and deciphered mostly from linquists or botanists or historians aboard ships that traveled here. That is how the misspelled and misprounounced words for the major Islands occured, such as "Ohwyhee, Mowree, and Atooi", but this redated the creation of the 'okina and the kahako, although the macron was used in many phonetical spelling attempts. That is why you might see these incorrect spellings in documents of the period.

The people were fluent enough in the language not to need it. However if you read the old Nukapepa, you will see many liberal and creative spellings of "Hawaiianized" words. The "s" and the "t" was used far more liberally as well.

How the use of the 'okina and the kahako came about was of course from the great writer of the Hawai'ian Dictionary Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel Elbert who were commissioned to do it by the territorial Government.

It was the creative genius of these two that came up with the idea of the 'okina and the kahako, the 'okina to replace certain sounds, most importantly the "glottal stop", and the kahako to teach people where to elongate the vowels.

This was done since about the time of statehood the language was practicly non existant despite its being named as the official state language.

The use of the 'okina and the kahako to teach almost anyone to read, write and speak the language of 'olelo Hawai'i is one of the most brilliant attestments to the creative genius of the people of Hawai'i to adjust and to perpetuate the living, breathing culture of this place.

While Kaua'i, and its distinctively different dialects, (from the North Shore and Na Pali dialects, the Ni'ihau dialects, a and the West side dialects are distinct and unique Kauai still ranks as the purest of dialects in Hawai'i.

I still prefer to read and write 'olelo without the use of the 'okina and the kahako, since it is not neccessary for me.
This helps to decipher older documents especially Palapala Sila Nui, as well as chants or mo'olelo that were written before the use of the 'okina and the kahako. To do that however you must be able to put the words in its proper context and kaona, so sometimes that takes quite a bit of research, otherwise you will actually get your meanings all wrong.

When I first learned to write and read 'Olelo with Auntie Helena, it was almost impossible for me to understand the concept of the 'okina and the kahako. Auntie Helena taught us first what we knew and were used to and then introduced the new "University" style.

Kumu 'Illei did the same thing. To this day I can tell if someone is a native speaker, or only learned the "University " style. O'ahu speakers are the best example of this. When they speak, it sounds more like german to me and is hard and gutteral, rather then the soft, lilting musical quality that is distincly the sound that most outer island fluent and native speakers make when they speak 'olelo.

When I took from Kumu Illei as I am sure she can attest I had a very hard time with the "university Hawaii" sentence structure. In fact I was very bad at it. But to be fair, I suck at English sentence structure and grammar as well, so it is no wonder I also suck at University 'Olelo as well!


However when I write something for others I always use it. I will write it out without it, and then go back and pop in the 'okinas and kahako.

I enjoy reading the Nukapepa from the old days. A lot of words I still need to look up and its always fun to see how the words were "Hawaiianized" even back when the 'okina and the Kahako were not in common use.

Long live Ka 'Olelo 'O Mokupuni Pae 'Aina 'O Hawaii Nei!(Andy's original post on his blog, and a breifer post from this post of mine.

Wailua path project delayed amid Hawaiian protest

Wailua path project delayed amid Hawaiian protest

Posted up[ on Jopans blog under an assumed name, since everyone always blasts me apart wh4n I post on that blog.

Hats of and a deep respectful bow to the TRUE heroes of Kauai. The ones that step forward and put themselves on the line to stand up for their beliefs. The ones who are truly passionate and care about our island.

Anyone who thinks that white burials would be treated the same is clearly completely delusional and has no sense of the reality of what is going on.

Further the ENTIRE area of Wailua is SACRED. Period. No discussion, no debate.

The path is not meant to benefit all of the people of Kauai. The reason I say this is because it is not respecting all of the people of Kauai. It is not accessible to all of the people of Kauai in an equitable manner. It is not transportation and recreation but is now a multi use path, rather then giving a soft path for animals, running parralel including horses which are banned but dogs are not.

This path is like an arrow into the peoples heart. And its aim is swift and true. Take the clearest path to your goal no matier what, or who stand in your way. Somehow this is suppposed to equate it to a noble endeavor.

How does this path show our keiki to respect the aina? IT teaches them that concrete rules. That in order to have a place to play or ride their bikes they must travel long distances to enjoy the benefits. That anyone can do anything to their families bones because they are not respected,and their families don't even count as even deserving of the barest human dignity. These are the lessons the kids are learning from this poorly planned albatross hanging around our necks. No offense to the albatross.

This whole thing angers and sickens me. Taking something that began so simply and for a good cause, a bike path for transportation and recreation, and then just using it as a sledgehammer against everyone and causing all of this mess and conhusion just because a few people had their vision and plans and then started to cater to one certain group while shutting out everyone else is just a total debacle. This path will be a battle all the way to its bitter end. And will cause numerous lawsuits, numerous complaints, numerous heart aches and tragedies. Rather then planning the path in an intelligent and sensitive way, it has instead become a political statement weapon and tool.

Shame on everyone AUWE.

My take on the Political Congressional Debates and the Democratic Party

I would never n a million years vote for Ed Case. He got his chance we sent him home. I am by no means a tow the line Dem, and I often have not seen Colleen as personable enough and I have had major issues with her speaking style. But to let Djou in the door would be like letting Lingle Lunacy continue.

SO what do I do as a Democrat? I personally don't care what the Oahu centralized polls say. I will go with Colleen. It wont split the votes enough, because the Republicans can't vote for Case. Essentially the conservative wing of the Democratic party will vote for him. Virtually every single former Republican who has switched to the Democratic party will vote for Case. The more liberal and progressive voters will vote with Colleen.

It will be very telling to see just how the Republicans have infiltrated and very successfully the Democratic Party.

Just look at our current Mayoral race. I once told everyone I knew, watch if in 2010 the Republicans do not run a Mayoral candidate. If they don't it proves that their stranglehold on the Mayors administration is extremely strong. So strong and confident and blatent about it that they have no need to even run a candidate. They already have one. The Mayor. He is a Democrat. See the picture yet? Our party needs a major purging, period.

I think our party needs an enormous wake up call in this state. We have cow towed and bent over for conservative values and ideas for far too long.

For me the biggest issue is former Republicans who change parties and waltz into public office. To me that is highly repugnant.

We need to send the Republicans in Democratic sheeps clothing back to the "Party of Me, the GOP" and get back to the core values of the Democratic party which is to fight for and support the real people of this country, and to truly believe in equality equity and civil rights.

No one who voted against civil unions, or who has voted in favor of bills for creating laws that discriminate against people should be in public office period. I will not be supporting any Democratic candidate who has voted against the civil, equal rights of anyone or been a party to creating laws and voting in favor of laws that discriminate.

Don't be surprised who steps forward in the next election cycle. You can take that anyway you want to.

I hope my party heard that loud and clear. We need to get back to the party of Kennedy in this state.
We need to walk our walk. We need to stop pretending to be Democrats and start voting like Democrats.

It is my opinion that a third party would be very good for this country. Although I myself would not switch, I feel that can go two ways. Extreme Liberalism, and extreme Conservatism. We may even get 2 strong independent parties that can jostle with each other. Who knows, with more strong political parties in this country we may see much better who is actually for what. It may pull votes from both parties but it may also strengthen both parties.

If the conservative Democrats were to leave the Democratic party, and the Liberal thinking Republicans, and the ultra right wing militants were to leave the Republican party, you might actually see the two parties revamp themselves into a more purer form of what each party actually is supposed to represent.

To me, that can only enrich the political landscape. For me as a Democrat I would feel much better as well as I feel the quality of candidates would improve and confusing rhetoric would be lessoned. I believe strongly in the real Democratic party and I hope one day to see it return to its pure form.

Letters for Tuesday, May 4, 2010

I am sure all of the people who have stepped all over me through the years, talked down to me, condescended me, and brought me to tears are not so happy about m,y finally coming clean with what really goes on.

However, when a COuncilmember sees fit to call a meeting then stack the stable, and bring me to tears in front of my own daughter, and a county official decides that screaming in my face after the cameras gop off at a public meeting, thats what you get.

Now, maybe, poeple will think twice before disrepspecting myself and the people i am fighting for. The gloves are off. From now on, if you treat me with disrespect I will let the public know all about it.

HUGE mahalos for printing the letter. It should poiss of a LOT of poeple. Good.

Bring it on I can take it

HOUSING DISCRIMINATION METING NO MENTION OF OUR COALITION-LETTER TO THE GI


The coverage on the Discrimination in Housing meeting., in what I am sure was an unintentional oversight by the Garden Island Newspaper that our coalition was not mentioned. We worked for over a year to get a bill drafted, passed, a coalition formed, hold meetings, gather evidence, and garner support for a bill that would have prevented Housing Discrimination in advertising.

Our coalition started with 2 members. Myself and my daughter. We combed 9 months of newspaper advertisements on Kauai showing blatent discrimination in housing. So blatent that many ads actually said “No HUD allowed.”. We made cold calls to people that put that in their advertisements, pretending to be different people. They made numerous statements of a clearly discriminatory nature. Many were racially motivated against local people. Many were discriminatory against women with children, the elderly and the handicapped. In particularly those on Social security. Some of the statements were beyond disgusting and very incindiary. We recorded the conversations by hand, and wrote out the scripts exactly as they occurred. We presented these scripts to politicians and others to explain what we had discovered and uncovered. I began to get other people that I knew in politics involved.

We held meetings, we talked on the radio about it and the Garden Island did help us out a lot in getting our fight into the paper. We had the support of the ACLU, the Legal Aid Society, OHA, shelters on Oahu, groups from all over Kauai and the state. We had support from congress, with Neil Ambercrombie writing us a letter of support on Congressional letterhead.

We had the support of Mina Morita who introduced the companion bill in the house. We also had the support of James Tokioka and Roland Sagum/ We had the support of three freshman councilmembers at the time, Lani Kawahara, and Dickie Chang. Derek Kawakami, and also from incumbant Tim Bynum. We had support from private citizens, and citizens groups.

My daughter, my neighbor who I recruited, and Joann Yukimura traveled to Oahu to fight for the Bill that Gary Hooser drafted, and introduced and I helped to write. I had meetings with the County Housing department.

Once I started meeting with the Housing department I started meeting major resistance to the bill. I was involved in a private meeting in council chambers, at which Dickie Chang, Jay Furfaro, The Heard of the Board of Realtors and the County Housing Department attended.

All were against the bill. They wanted to take out essentially the heart of the bill. My coalition would not back down . We knew that if the guts got ripped out of the bill, we wouldn't have anything. Councilmembers Jay Furfaro, The Kauai Board of Realtors Representative and the County Housing Agency would not support the bill. Our own housing agency actually wrote a letter against the bill.

Other housing agencies also either did not comment on the bill or wuld not support it. The State of Hawaii Board of Realotors went against the bill. The legislature passed it on to third reading with major changed that also ripped out the heart of the bill where it died and was not heard. The bill was defeated

My efforts at the County Council to propose a bill for Kauai the exact same bill proposed for the State Legislature and drafted to suit Kauai went no where. I could not even get on the agenda to discuss the issue. When I met in council chambers, I told everyone at that table this was a Federal violation. I told them the bill was written on solid law. I told them that eventually this woyld all come to a head, and come back to bite them eventually. I told them that people would eventually start filing lawsuits..

Unknown to them I had made many phone calls to the Federal Government Housing Agency, and lodged complaints as well. I encouraged people to phone in their complaints to Legal Aid. I tried to inform people with public meetings oh what their rights were. I would like to state that we are extremely grateful for the courage and tenacity of Legal Aid on this iissue and are grateful for their support of our efforts for the failed bill.

These efforts that we did, should be acknowledged for their merits. Many people put their neck on the line to support what myself and many others tried to do. Others stuck their heads in the sand.

Our coalition is still very active, and it is our clear intent to have the bill reintroduced after the Gubernatorial elections. We are currently staying on top of State Public Housing changes that we feel are extremely discriminatory. I did not attend the meeting on Friday because I have been ill. But to see that the Federal Representative finally told everyone what myself and our coalition had told them long before gave me a sense of accomplishment.

Now when our coalition says something perhaps people should pay a lot closer attention. And the housing agency in this state would do well to remember that our coalition is strong and still actively in this fight. I am very pleased with the tone of this meeting. Because it sheds a clear light on everything that we brought forth and fought for. I just want to thank everyone who helped myself and the supporters of our coalition. We are not done yet. We need to get this law passed in the legislature. Thank you for remembering us and our hard work.

Sincerely
Anne Punohu
Kauai Fair Housing Law Coalition

6 State of Hawaii, the law does not prohibit discrimination based
7 on lawful source of income. However, thirteen other states,
8 including California and Oregon, have prohibited this type of
9 income discrimination. Renters who participate in government
10 assistance programs, such as Housing Choice Vouchers, also known
11 as, section 8, should have an equal opportunity to find housing.
12 The purpose of this Act is to prohibit discrimination based
13 on lawful source of income in real estate transactions,
14 including advertising available rental units.
