Ku'e: The Hui Aloha Aina Anti-Annexation Petitions 1897-1898/Na Keiki O Hawai'i Lahui 2015-
The immediate significance of the petition is to unite all Kanaka
Ma'oli as desendants of the people who courageously signed their names
in solidarity one hundred sixteen years ago to secure our continued
existence as an independent nation forever. During that struggle, James
Keauiluna Kaulia, president of Hui Aloha 'Aina, said, "Mai makau, e
kupaa ma ke aloha i ka 'aina, a e lokahi ma ka manao, e kue loa aku i ka
hoohui ia o Hawai'i me Amerika a hiki i ke aloha 'aina hope loa" 'Do
not be afraid, be steadfast in aloha for your land and be united in
thought. Protest forever the annexation of Hawai'i until the very last
aloha 'aina.' In the spirit of these words we unite again to follow the
lead of our kupuna. The petitions were first presented to the public on
January 17, 1898 during the Sovereignty Sunday events held on the
'Iolani Palace grounds.

My mother is full blodded hawaiian. Died waiting on that bullshit hawaiian homes list. Waiting for her chance to get land. Land that was stolen from her.
My Great Grandmother signed the Ku`e Petition back when it came to Moku `O Keawe the Island of Hawai`i. I Leigh Cidney Keonekaulana Case, a servant to the Kingdom of Hawai`i hereby petition till my dying breath is drawn against the Illegal Annexation & Occupation of my Homeland by the USA!!!!!
Born in the "Territory", in between veils, nurtured for my first year by kanaka maoli neighbors, I am of the 'aina but not of blood. I stand in solidarity with your Oni pa'a. Honor to your ancestors who declared courageously, and to you all for continuing the action, with aloha, to take back what is yours to steward.
My Ancestors, Abel & Charles Makeaku from Lahaina & J. Nohua & Hoopii from Hana signed the original petition. Appreciate them standing up to the injustice, their efforts were not in vain and our Aina will be restored.
I support this in every ways possible for my people to rest well in this 21st century..i will fight from here in Australia what ever happends back home in HomeLand Paradise Hawaii
researching my ancestors...My great grandfather on my mothers side was in Hawaii during signing of the petition and must have signed it.

My grandparent's parents signed this petition in 1897-98, and I proudly add my name in support of Hawaiian sovereignty. Aloha 'Aina, with my last breath
