Ku'e anti-annexation petition memorial wall proposed


Kunani Nihipali and Ho'oipo Kalaena'auao Pa had a commentary in the Advertiser last Sunday outlining a proposal to create a memorial to display the 1897 anti-annexation petition. I think it is a great idea (I also happen to be helping create the mini-website for the project). When these petitions came out in 1998, they were displayed publicly on large boards at the "state" capitol, and I think it had a profound effect as folks were able to see all those who stood up against annexation and find their names of their own kupuna on the petition, creating a very direct and personal connection for independence. A permanent version of this display is worthy of support. Ke Kia'i was awarded an OHA grant for the initial phase of the project which will include community meetings to gather ideas for the memorial.
