Sovereignty Sunday marches and programs

From Terri Kekoolani…

Spoke with Lynette & Andre. Here’s what I have from our conversation.
There are two marches tomorrow.

LONO MAKUA procession – meet at Kanewai Lo’i at 8am, march to Kamehameha Statue starts at 9am. Per Andre, you can dress traditional if you choose to.
Per Andre ” We will merge with Palani Vaughn ma at Kamehameha statue around 11:00am and enter palace grounds together for symbolic holopuni around palace, ending at ‘ahu for ceremony.”
Henry Noa/Palani Vaughn lead Ho’okahi Lahui march – meet 9am at Thomas Square, march starts soon after. March ends at Kamehameha statue around 11am. Here is the route.

Both marches converge at the Kamehameha Statue around 11am.  Marchers will enter Iolani Palace together through the makai gate.

There are two program sites but one gathering at the Iolani Palace: one at the Ahu and one on the ewa side of the Iolani Palace.  For those who want to kokua and defend the Tent at the Ahu, walk straight over to the Ahu. People anticipate DLNR law enforcement officers will be there to confiscate Uncle George’s tent that covers the food and the Queen’s display. Someone will give us instructions at the Ahu what to do. There will also be ceremony for Lono Makua at the Ahu.

Palani & Henry will have their Ho’okahi Lahui program on the Ewa side of Iolani Palace. The program goes from 11am to 2pm according to Lynette.

According to Lynette her Reinactment play will be around 2pm at the Kaiana Bldg.

At the AHU, Uncle George will have a puppet show around 2pm.
