By Rosemarie Bernardo
Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Jul 21, 2012
Kana‘iolowalu, a campaign of the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission to create a registry of Native Hawaiians who will be eligible to participate in the development of a governing entity, kicked off Friday with a ceremony at Washington Place.
More than 100 people attended the launch. Attendees included lawmakers, Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustees and members of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I and ‘Ahahui Ka‘ahumanu.
Enrollment began Friday and will remain open until July 19. A petition is also available for non-Hawaiians who want to support self-governance for Hawaiians.
Print and television ads are expected to begin soon to inform the public of locations where registration forms will be available. The commission’s goal is to register 200,000 Native Hawaiians in the state and abroad. There is no blood quantum requirement.
Registration can be done online at www.kanaiolowalu. org. The self-governance petition open to non-Hawaiians is also available on the website.

A Hawai‘i People’s Fund grant to Na Maka O Ka ‘Aina helped support the re-mastering and archiving of video documentation of the movement to protect the island of Kaho‘olawe from 1976–1992.
Visit Na Maka’s Hawaiian Voice channel to view clips from the Kaho‘olawe Video Archive. (just click HERE)
They include:
Tribute to George Helm and Kimo Mitchell
On March 6, 1982, five years after the disappearance of George Helm and Kimo Mitchell in the seas off the island of Kaho’olawe, the Protect Kaho’olawe ‘Ohana held a tribute to the two men at ‘Iolani Palace in Honolulu.
Representatives from the Helm and Mitchell families along with community members, singers and musicians from Kaua’i, Maui, Moloka’i and Hawai’i island joined their O’ahu compatriots in remembering the legacy of George and Kimo and the actions of many others who worked peaceably to stop the U.S. military bombing of Kaho’olawe.
Kaho‘olawe Aloha Aina: George Helm
Produced in 1977 by the Protect Kaho’olawe ‘Ohana, this program features scenes from the last years of the life of George Jarrett Helm, Jr. as he worked tirelessly to stop the bombing of Kaho’olawe and inspire others to take up the cause of Aloha ‘ina (love and protection of the land).
Video of his classroom presentations, musical performances, speeches and interactions with government are supplemented with news stories and location shots of early occupations of Kaho’olawe. Video footage by Kevin Coates, Stephen Morse, KGMB, KHET and Videololo. Edited by Joan Lander. Produced by Ken Yasso.

| Iolani Palace
June 30-July 1 2012
9:00am till 9:00pm
Aloha Kakou,
This is an open invitation to participate in a Religious Vigil at Iolani Palace. There are many subjects than need our clear observation and centered direction. We hope to have lively pro and con discussions on matters than concern all of us. Our discussion need to be but not limited to items like the “Rolls Commission”, Military Expansion, Land, Water, recent legislation depriving or limiting environmental laws, Contested cases, treatment of our sacred lands, our ability or disability to protect our Kupuna Iwi, Prisons, Corrections Corporation of America, Development of a Puu Honua at the old Kulani Prison site, Geo-thermal development, Bio fuels, the fencing off of acess to the mountains and the ocean, open ocean fish farms, GMO’s, National Parks, Thirty Meter Telescope, the Rail, OHA’s/Sate land deal… to mention a few.
We call upon those who have information on any number of items up for discussion or those items you would like to have discussed to come to the aid of our people in this troubling time. A PONO course has to be forth coming to firmly address these poor behavioral patterns of the legislative and executive branches of the state, private/public land and ocean development agreements, Depletion and exploitations, reassignments of authority over our limited natural resources.
There is no doubt that all of us see the problems. We need to unify. Please come, put skin on the table, bring your best ideas, your information and abilities, combined with spiritual mana and your belief in yourself and others to perpetuate PONO.
I am Hanalei Fergerstrom from Moku O Keawe. I have the necessary permits, and have assumed all responsibilities for the conduct of those participating with me. We have three canopies and some seats. You will have to bring your own means of comfort like chairs, mats, etc. We have not planned for food or drink, perhaps you can help.
Please circulate this invitation widely so we can all see from many directions. Come with Aloha…You are all welcomed.
E Hawaii Au, Uncle Hank
