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.

Queen Lydia Lili’uokalani (Kaʻiulani's aunt) 

Kaʻiulani's aunt was the last reigning monarch of Hawaii. Queen Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Kamakaʻeha ruled from  January 29, 1891, until the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom by a coalition of American businessmen, led by Sanford Dole, on January 17, 1893. The composer of "Aloha ʻOe" and numerous other works, she wrote her autobiography Hawaiʻi's Story by Hawaiʻi's Queen during her imprisonment following the coup.

Mary Elizabeth Mikahala Robinson Foster (1844-1930) was the daughter of a shipwrecked sailor, John James Robinson and Rebecca Prever, daughter of Kamakana, a Maui chiefess. She was sister of Mark P. Robinson, who served as Queen Liliuokalani's Minister of Foreign Affairs. She married Thomas R. Foster, the owner of a shipyard, a shipping agency and a number of schooners.

In the late 18th century, [...] Lahaina carried such an abundance of water that early explorers reportedly anointed it “Venice of the Pacific”. A glut of natural wetlands nourished breadfruit trees, extensive taro terraces and fishponds that sustained wildlife and generations of Native Hawaiian families.

But more than a century and a half of plantation agriculture, driven by American and European colonists, have depleted Lahaina’s streams and turned biodiverse food forests into tinderboxes. Today, Hawaii spends $3bn a year importing up to 90% of its food. This altered ecology, experts say, gave rise to the 8 August blaze that decimated the historic west Maui town and killed more than 111 people.

“The rise of plantation capital spawned the drying of the west side of Maui,” said Kamana Beamer, a historian and a former member of the Hawaii commission on water resource management [...].

[S]ugar and pineapple white magnates began arriving on the islands in the early 1800s. For much of the next two centuries, Maui-based plantation owners like Alexander & Baldwin and Maui Land & Pineapple Company reaped enormous fortunes, uprooting native trees and extracting billions of gallons of water from streams to grow their thirsty crops. (Annual sugar cane production averaged 1m tons until the mid-1980s; a pound of sugar requires 2,000lb of freshwater to produce.)

Invasive plants that were introduced as livestock forage, like guinea grass, now cover a quarter of Hawaii’s surface area. The extensive use of pesticides on Maui’s pineapple fields poisoned nearby water wells. The dawn of large-scale agriculture dramatically changed land practices in Maui, where natural resources no longer served as a mode of food production or a habitat for birds but a means of generating fast cash, said Lucienne de Naie, an east Maui historian [...].

“The land was turned from this fertile plain – with these big healthy trees, wetland taros and dryland crops like banana and breadfruit – to a mass of monoculture: to rows and rows of sugar cane, and rows and rows of pineapple,” she said.

The Great Māhele of 1848, a ground-breaking law that legitimized private land ownership, laid the ground for big developers to hoard water for profit, said Jonathan Likeke Scheuer, a water policy consultant and co-author of the book Water and Power in West Maui. [...] [T]he creation of private property allowed agricultural corporations to wield “political and ultimately oligarchic power” over elected officials. In 1893, a group of sugar magnates and capitalists overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom’s Queen Liliuokalani, paving the way for the US to annex Hawaii five years later. Sanford Ballard Dole, a cousin of Dole Plantation’s founder, served as the first governor of Hawaii.

When the last of the sugar companies closed in 2016 [...], Scheuer said, the farms were purchased by large investors for real estate speculation and left fallow, overrun with invasive grasses that became fuel for brush fires. Developers [...] took control of the plantations’ century-old irrigation ditches and diverted water to service its luxury subdivisions. In doing so, it left scraps for Indigenous families who lived downstream. [...] [O]n Maui, 16 of the top 20 water users are resorts, time-shares and short-term condominium rentals equipped with emerald golf courses and glittering pools [...].

What are some basic things to know about the Hawaiian government, back when it was still ran by Queens and such?

I assume it’s different than say, European royalty, but I’m struggling on how to find information for the government structures and what important roles are in the government

There's a great biography Queen Liliuokalani: The Hawaiian Kingdom's Last Monarch by Kale Makana which might be super helpful to you.

Jojolands 22: On a Boat

Great place to start off honestly. After ripping on the car and all of it's battle damage we decide to take a moment to feel up Charmingman. Dragona can't resist either. Gives him a chance to opine on the condition a bit. I know enough to know it's likely a connection but having not yet finished Part 8 someone else will have to ponder the connection to the Rock Humans. Still, seems like Charmingman has one.

Anyways, on to the main thrust of the chapter. What a panel! We're enacting the plan to try an finesse the land away from Howler. Charmingman is disguising himself as the guy from the bank and we get a great new business suit for Pink-Chan while Jodio's just going as his ruffian self.

Right as we get there though the kids get a mass text about...a report on Queen Liliuokalani? Important figure in Hawaiian history to be sure, excellent name drop but seems to be an odd distraction.

Oh! Right...Meryl Mei is also the principal of the school. And she's currently getting shaken down by two of the new goons in Howler's employ. They're trying to pump her for info on Paco and she's not giving it up easily. Very tense scenario though given how quick they got to Meryl. I may think she's shadier than she's letting on but we probably wouldn't see that yet. The kids are still too useful to her.

Either way, I do like seeing Meryl tested. Especially with a stand power coming out. Reminds me a lot of Gladius from One Piece making things bubble and pop. Does Meryl have any defense against a Stand? Nothing we've seen of her implies an ability of her own and you need to have a Stand to fight a Stand.

Paco's made his choice though. He's gonna book it back and try to head them off, we don't know yet if Usagi will follow which could really set the tone of what happens when Paco gets there. If he even can in time. It also leaves the gang on the boat more at risk, though from the looks of it they have the more favorable setup of a 3-on-1 battle. 3-on-2 if Howler himself has some kind of Stand power but you never really know if it's a fair fight until you see the abilities.

This has really shaped up into something intriguing! Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

Crown Prince of Hawaii

Prince Leleiohoku 1855-1877, Crown Prince of the Hawaiian Islands.

Do you want to learn how Hawaii became a USA state? Do you want to know how Dole became a ubiquitous pineapple brand? If so you have to know all of the events that led to that tainted hostile takeover.

Liliuokalani (born September 2, 1838, Honolulu, Hawaii [U.S.]—died November 11, 1917, Honolulu) was the first and only reigning Hawaiian queen and the last Hawaiian sovereign to govern the islands, which were annexed by the United States in 1898.

Also known as: Liliu Kamakaeha, Lydia Kamakaeha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki

Liliuokalani regretted the loss of power the monarchy had suffered under Kalakaua and tried to restore something of the traditional autocracy to the Hawaiian throne. She had earlier made her position clear by opposing the renewed Reciprocity Treaty of 1887, signed by Kalakaua, granting privileged commercial concessions to the United States and ceding to them the port of Pearl Harbor. This attitude forever alienated her from Hawaii’s haole—foreign businessmen—who, after her accession, tried to abrogate her authority.

Liliuokalani Queen Liliuokalani was the last monarch of Hawaii.

Also known as: Liliu Kamakaeha, Lydia Kamakaeha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki

Sanford Ballard Dole (born April 23, 1844, Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands [U.S.]—died June 9, 1926, Honolulu) was the first president of the Republic of Hawaii (1894–1900), and first governor of the Territory of Hawaii (1900–03) after it was annexed by the United States.

"filipino from hawaii" as in you're also part native hawaiian or just live there? otherwise you are also taking part in colonization be putting on natives land

I live here. I’m all Filipino. I was born here, many Pinoy people (including my own family who’s lived here for five generations) came here because of opportunities and for a new life. My great-great-grandfather worked on the sugar plantations and sent money back home. He eventually got the chance to move the rest of my family here to Hawaii.

Wanting to provide for their families, many immigrants of all backgrounds moved to Hawaii specifically because of said plantations and maybe even the fact it was already so diverse. I never asked to be born here and my people never “colonized” Hawaii. That was the missionaries of white/european descent who over threw the true rulers of Hawaii. (Rip Queen Liliuokalani, she’s a fucking legend and all should put some fucking RESPECT on her name!!! Shoutout to King David Kalakaua too for staying authentic to his people) I have a deep love for the culture I grew up in and my own. I understand that if you are from some place else you would come to this conclusion. We are in a way taking up space that wasn’t originally our’s. I would NEVER consider myself native Hawaiian. That would be an insult to the land that the natives once lived on in peace. However I am local, and I can never deny that.

“Just living here” counting as colonization would disgrace HUNDREDS upon THOUSANDS of families who had to move for their own reasons. Establishing control? When we have so little of our own? I don’t want to see my ancestors as colonizers. Yes this land truely belongs to the native people of Hawai’i. No I am not one of those peoples. But I am not a colonizer. The Philippines has also been colonized and was even own by United States as well, bit ironic that my family ended up in Hawaii. Can’t escape fucking America I guess lol. I’d never wish colonization nor occupation on another culture. It’s fucking terrible.

I hope you have an amazing day anon <3333
