The ocean connects us: debrief from O’ahu (pt.2)

I was born Dakota in Hawaii in 1976 and raised here traveling to mainland reservations on and off time to time throughout my lucky Indian life so I’m glad you guys made a connection and got some real deal exp. Uplifting knowing other reds got part of this sadly too unique experience so I wonder, in my view we are connected by water it’s nice but you only get ten days each time so far away, they don’t get much reservation time and we don’t get much island time so … how do we build red power on such a limited ambassadorship?

Can you see us all having one mainstream CNN worthy red power battle cry, thing we all have in common that we wish most people would know that can get the ball rolling on land back, identity, bq, treaty rights, programs and handouts, clearing up who we are and why we are commonly seen as the same poor brown underachieving communities who always need to hear about “first native professional this” and “first native to achieve that…” and how we’ve never been allowed to sue as todays Americans since were supposedly reduced from nations into tribes or regime changed kingdoms driven into todays communities and how it’s the Supreme Court and basing it on might of englands domination over all white nations and red nations and even though all this is true Hawaii had its own king? How does it makes sense to “conquer the primitive No king having Indians”followed by “except those peoples red king!” (in hawaiis case) then back pedal into “americas founders were first English so all native land title is extinguished because all English kings are white and we’re gonna use that in the Supreme Court”.

I love being red and all the various nations we have available in many different ways to get some power goin on here and find that common paragraph answer to the commonly asked American question… “What do you people want?” 😅 Keep up the good reporting!

Happy Captain Cook Died Day!!!
