This blog is about Hawaii's status as an independent country under prolonged illegal occupation by the United States, and the history, culture, law & politics of the islands.
For many Native Hawaiians like Kapuaʻala and his wife, Hawaiʻi remains an illegally occupied nation, and sports are just another path to recovering that Hawaiian national identity.
“This country that had a national character and identity, internationally, that was a leader in the Pacific,” said Trisha Kapuaʻala. “We’re bringing that back. What that could do to our young children and families to know that there’s this proud national history, using football as the vehicle.”
