KE AUPUNI UPDATE - OCTOBER 2024
Tumblr media
Our Land, Our Inheritance One of the most profound expressions of who we are as a people is found in Queen Liliʻuokalani’s open letter that begins with, “Oh, honest Americans… ” It was her direct appeal to the American people to do what’s morally right and speak out for the return of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Although her letter makes many profound points, I will concentrate on one particular passage… “…do not covet the little vineyard of Naboth's, so far from your shores, lest the punishment of Ahab fall upon you, if not in your day, in that of your children, for "be not deceived, God is not mocked." As she often did, Queen Liliʻuokalani cited a passage from the Bible. In this instance, 1 Kings 21:1-24 that told of the deceitful way King Ahab and his evil wife Jezebel framed and executed a man, Naboth, so they could take his land which he had refused to sell to them… The reason Naboth wouldn’t sell the land was, he regarded it as his inheritance and a blessing, not a piece of commercial real estate. He had inherited the land from his forefathers and his kuleana was to make it productive (which is why Ahab wanted it) and then pass it on to his (Nabobʻs) children and descendants. By citing this story, Queen Liliʻuokalani goes to the heart of the difference in how Hawaiians, as opposed to Americans and other colonizers, regard land. Hawaiians and other native peoples see land as an inheritance that comes from Akua with the kuleana (responsibility) to mālama (care for) so that it can bless them and their future generations. To our kūpuna, just like Naboth, land is not a commodity that can be bought and sold for instant gratification or to build empires, it was to bring and sustain abundant life and future generations. When King Kamehameha III issued the Hawaiian Bill of Rights in 1839 and promulgated the Hawaiian Kingdom Constitution in 1840, instruments that are Western in form, he was careful to infuse them with Hawaiian values of kuleana, malama ʻāina, ola i ka wai, aloha ʻāina. When he redistributed the lands from traditional rights — where he as King had absolute rule over all the lands — he put the lands of Hawaiʻi (except for a little needed for the government) into the western system of private ownership, but with a caveat: that those lands would be held in perpetuity. Whether the King, chiefs or commoners held the title, these privately owned lands could not be sold outside of the family, their heirs and descendants. Furthermore, customary international law holds that in the event of a regime change, internal or conquest or annexation by a foreign power, only the government lands would forfeit to the new government. Privately owned lands would remain in the hands of the title owner. Thus, by placing the lands of the Hawaiian Archipelago into the western legal system of private land ownership, King Kamehameha III safeguarded Hawaii’s lands from being sold outside the family or being seized in the event of an invasion, an annexation (lawful or fake) or certainly, an illegal occupation. So why have we been dispossessed of our lands? Because every step of taking and pillaging of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States was done with total disregard of all laws except those the US imposed for its own benefit and purposes. Even today, Hawaiians’ lands are being stolen and Hawaiian are being evicted by corrupt judges weilding corrupt State of Hawaii laws. The hope we have is that soon the tables will turn and a day of reckoning will come, the lands restored… and the punishment of Ahab fall upon the wrong doers.

My fellow Americans seem to forget that the United States illegally overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii, threw the Queen in jail, annexed the land, and gave the Native Hawaiians the same treatment that was done with the Native American tribes. Today, they are complaining about Vladimir Putin, and thought every region in the ex-Soviet countries was going to be okay being disconnected from the Russian mainland. He doesn't suppress the Ukrainian or Georgian language. His country isn't the one with the most military bases around the world. He prefers a multi-polar world unlike the uniparty that exists in the United States of America.

Mikhail Tikhanov in Hawaii pt. 2: Boki and Liliha
Boki, Chief of Oahu, and Hekili, Minister of the Navy, 1818
Tumblr media
In the painting Boki, Chief of Oahu, and Hekili, Minister of the Navy. we get a close look at a male figures face. His hand is tucked under his robe in a similar manner to Kamehameha. From the title of the painting we can gather that this man is Boki, Chief of Oahu. In front of him, we see the side profile of another man, sporting a mustache, Hekili. Behind them, almost invisible, is a third character, a single hand carrying a spear.
Boki was a high chief and close right-hand man to Kamehameha, serving as Royal Governor of the island of Oahu and Minister of the Navy under Kamehameha I.
Boki and Liliha on the Kamchatka, 1818
Tumblr media
In this painting four figures are present. Center a man with a bright coloured cape and somewhat somber expression stands holding a bottle and cup. Behind him, a woman sits atop a canon, she wears a yellow skirt and appears to be watching Tikhanov with suspicion. Around her neck is a dramatic looking necklace. Both man and woman appear to be drawn both in profile, and viewed from the back. This style is typical in Tikhanov’s work, and many of his portraits feature multiple angles of the subject. Closer examination reveals that the man and the woman with their backs faced to the scene, although wearing identical clothes, are not the same man and woman as those drawn in profile. The man has short hair, and carries a spear. The woman is not wearing a necklace and crown. Behind her, a fifth man, barely visible, peaks out. He carries some kind of fan or standard. There is a striking similarity between the fanbearer of this portrait and the spear bearer of the other. Between the fan and the spear, the dual opulence and violence that underlie Hawaiian aristocratic society is constantly present, lingering in the background almost out of frame. Boki and Liliha, a portrait by John Hayter 1818
Tumblr media
These figures are, of course, Boki and his wife Liliha. Both Boki and his wife Kuini Liliha were leading members of a delegation to England led by King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamamalu in 1824. After the monarchs died from measles during the stay, Boki and his wife returned to Hawaii with Admiral Lord Byron aboard the British frigate, HMS Blonde, which bore the bodies of the late king and queen. They served as interm representatives of the Kingdom, and after returning from the voyage, opened a hotel and bar called the Blonde Hotel, the first of it’s kind on the Island Kingdom.
During their tour of England, they posed together for a second portrait by John Hayter. This allows for a rare opprotunity to compare their likeness to the portrait captured by Mikhail TIkhanov. As we can see, not only are there striking facial similarities, but Liliha is even wearing the same necklace in both paintings.

Transiting Pluto
This week, I discussed the occurrence of the French Revolution in relation to the astronomical event of Pluto's entry into Tropical Aquarius, which happened between 1777 and 1778.
It is important to note that the Revolution itself, began in 1789, indicating that France had been in a state of disrepair for quite some time before Pluto entered Tropical Aquarius. They were undergoing a process of dissolution of their government, and the monarchy was deposed. It is noteworthy that Pluto was situated in Sidereal Capricorn during this period, which is its current location, thereby rendering the alignment more comprehensible—even with what's happening today.
When Pluto is in Capricorn, it symbolizes the disintegration of traditional power structures or authority to effectuate change in antiquated systems of governance; or those who are responsible for setting rules and regulations.
Tumblr media
It is possible that there may be a correlation between the displacement of Queen Lili’uokalani of the Kingdom of Hawai’i in 1893 and the positioning of Pluto in Sidereal Taurus, which is a fellow Earth sign. Despite not originating from her own people, this was the catalyst for the sovereignty movement which ties into the energy of Taurus.
Despite my own knowledge, I still find it pertinent to note when outer planets move into Tropical Signs as this could prove to have some form of correlation with current events. Although I do assert that Tropical Astrologers are mistaken, I do not imply that I am unwilling to examine what they have to say.
My own examination of the topic using Sidereal placements led me to the conclusion that this system makes more sense.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2024
Tumblr media
The Queen Never Abdicated September is Hawaiian History month. The article in the April 27, 2024 Ke Aupuni Update was titled: “The Queen Never Surrendered”. This one is about the so-called “abdication” of Queen Liliuʻokalani. It is true, sort of… Here’s a brief recap of events leading up to the so-called abdication.
On January 17, 1893 with a company of armed US Marines backing them, white insurgents seize control of the government.
On December 18, 1893 President Cleveland denounces the actions of the insurgents, and calls for the reinstatement of Queen Liliuʻokalani and the lawful government of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The insurgents respond by telling the US to mind its own business, then on July 4, 1894, proclaim the Hawaiian Kingdom was now the Republic of Hawaii.
From January 6-9, 1895, Hawaiian Patriots fail in an armed uprising to overthrow the “Republic” and restore Liliuʻokalani to the throne.
The leaders of the “rebellion” are captured, tried for treason and sentenced to death. January 16, 1895, Queen Liliuʻokalani was arrested, confined to a room at Iolani Palace and, on February 8, 1895, tried for treason against the Republic. On January 24, 1895, while under house arrest, representatives of the Republic presented Liliuʻokalani with a letter of abdication for her to sign. They made it clear to her that if she did not sign, the leaders of the “rebellion” would be executed.   Under those conditions, to save the lives of her dear followers and friends, she signed the document of abdication. The Republic then announced to the world that the Queen had abdicated and used it to fortify their claim of legitimacy. Countries with treaties with the Hawaiian Kingdom, shifted to dealing with the Republic of Hawaii and business went on as usual.   But did the Queen abdicate? Actually, no… for several reasons. First, a document signed under coercion and duress is invalid. Second, what she signed, was not her name. She signed, Lili’uokalani Dominis, a name she had never used before or since; nor was it her official name as the monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Third, in her autobiography, and in many other instances, she completely repudiated that “letter of abdication”. Fourth, the Queen worked tirelessly in the years immediately following that “abdication” to have the Hawaiian Kingdom government and herself as the sovereign, restored as an independent nation. Words have been used to distort, embed and promote the false narratives in the telling of our story. It is up to us to set the record straight for us and for others who need to know the truth.

By the way if you are pro-Palestine but not pro-Hawaiian Sovereignty are you really pro-Palestine? Or are you just saying it because it’s trendy?
Know your morals. Understand the situation. Learn what you are fighting for and then keep fighting for it.
