Another jet fuel spill in Hawaii by the US Navy
The 4th known serious spill of toxic chemicals into our ecosystem since ‘21 Red Hill. The US Military is the greatest threat to life in Hawaii
How many more times will we allow this before the Hawaiian people expel them for good?

The US Gov is looking to slash $500M in Federal funding for Dept of Hawaiian Home Lands.
They are coming for every single Native Hawaiian program.
If we’re no longer benefiting from federal funding what’s preventing us from reestablishing a sovereign Hawaii & rebuilding our own national wealth?

Manaʻo shared by the Kupuna of Moku O Keawe reminded us to be prepared to sacrifice for the betterment of Ka Lāhui Hawaiʻi this year.
To not leave if times get tough, find a way to stay, a relative to move in with & offer the same if needed. We need our ʻŌiwi home, paʻa & ready to fight for her 🌱

We welcome in the season of Kū as Lono departs. The Makaliʻi constellation ✨ is no longer visible at night & the days elongate
Akua of farming, fishing, & politics. A season of productivity, planting & action
It’s the responsibility of the collective to protect each other

If our Kupuna saw their food system falling into disrepair they would say “clean em up already, stop complaining no food.” We have the right to seize all state lands protecting forests of invasive trees destroying our ancient agricultural sites. Get em all back into production, da time is now.

Beginning to see our native ʻOʻopu Nakea (goby fish) appear in our stream at Puʻuhonua O Waimanalo for the first time in recent memory. They’re a “species of special concern” by the American Fisheries Society (AFS) & require cleared waterways to successfully spawn.

As the US Federal Gov freezes funding it’s important to remember the State of Hawaii has not been fulfilling its obligation to provide Office of Hawaiian Affairs with 20% of annual revenues generated off (stolen) Hawaiian Crown Lands/ Public Land Trust (PLT), $78.9M annually.
This is $ owed to us

Just pulled about 300 lbs of Kalo from the first patch we planted at our newly opened loʻi at Nation of Hawaii a year ago. Can make about 700lbs poi, distribute 1/2 lbs to 1,400 community members. Building food security for Waimānalo through #landback & perpetual harvests. 🫡🌱💣

Other initiatives coming from this summit include Universal Free School meals for our Keiki. This initiative would cost $15M a year which is 1% of the overall DOE budget. We can absolutely afford these initiatives, there is no more important investment than the health of our youth.
