A video on Nation of Hawaii’s restoration at Puʻuhonua O Waimanalo, land won through occupation. This is what #LandBack looks like, we must continue to fight for more sovereign land bases across our pae ʻāina. youtu.be/24uCCr3KjCI?si

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?

#landback means more food to feed our community which is exactly why we are coming for more

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?

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb.)

Hokulea arrives in Kualoa for her 50th anniversary ceremony. When she left on her maiden sail from these shores, she was the first traditional Polynesian Voyaging Canoe built in decades Today, over a dozen sail in to greet her, a demonstration of the rebirth of waʻa traditions across Oceania.

hey so, um, all this is terrible, but the *1st* thing we need to halt is this: Trump's EO to clear cut 280 million acres of trees in National Forests and protected public lands. our forests are irreplaceable. we need folks on the ground to stake out, track logging companies, create roadblocks, etc.

Aloha mai kakou. No Hawaii mai au, a i imi ia no kekahi punaewele wikio na ka aole like o Twita (X). I speak Hawaiian, but can speak English also. Makemake au e olelo Hawaii, no ka mea, ke hoemi nei ka poe olelo Hawaii. Nolaila, e hoomau ai au ka olelo Hawaii, maanei ame kahi e ae.

Ua wehe iā Kū!♦️ 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 E Ola

The season of Kū has arrived, under the Kūkahi Mahina 🌙 Ola Let us Kūkulu & continue to build community rooted power in the pursuit of ea & liberation of our national homelands from the American occupation. There has never been a more important time to be involved in community organizing. ʻOnipaʻa

Degrowth should be adopted as a core value of aloha 'āina and the sovereignty movement.

The real travesty in the firings of *promoted* probationary federal employees is their probationary status at all. That is a topic of bargaining and sadly something that has apparently been settled for by the union and it's members. It is truly absurd.

O ka wa ma mua - an independent Hawaiian state and a pae 'āina-wide workers movement. O ka wa ma hope - an independent Hawaiian state and a mass pae 'āina-wide workers movement. No ka lāhui always.

Indo-Paccom being one of the ONLY federal departments and even military commands to not be impacted by funding cuts should tell you everything about the fact that their purpose is insidious and meant to be subversive. Their role in the new Cold War is too crucial to cut

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.

Another successful aloha ʻāina day yesterday at Nation of Hawaiʻi We continue to build rock wall to stand for the next 800 years & 8 generations Community rooted self determination is our niho stone & foundation as we continue to strengthen our vision of a free & independent Hawai’i for all 🪨🪨🦎

The way that employers are nickel and diming workers is crazy. Working at a union I see it every day. It’s not just low wages, corporations are trying to drain and suck every dollar from workers. Was just at a hotel that CHARGES its workers for lunch every shift even if they don’t use the cafeteria

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. Welina mai! Welcome home! ❤️

On this day the Kanaka Maoli fondly commentate da killing of the historic war criminal Capt Cooke, who fucked around & found out Let that be a lesson to any white nationals getting a little too excited in this moment We will still crack u & bury u if u step out of line on our shores. Da imu is lit

If you have police officers in your family, the time is now to speak with them about disobeying orders. We don’t have to go along with this shit.

And we need to max tax all the evil billionaires who own prime real estate here.

hell yah, hawaii, get your freedom

Hawaii is in position to call for the eviction of all US Troops unless all leases, not just those that expire in 2029, are renegotiated at a premium. As Federal programs disappear we would be well funded & positioned to reimplement our own Dept of Edu, Universal Healthcare & other social services

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

A manaful first 2025 Aloha ʻĀina Day at Nation of Hawaiʻi with 130+ ʻOhana on site with us. This year, our intention is to engage our community in conversations around what a modern day Puʻuhonua can function like, collectively managed under communal land tenure.

We know new year's resolutions are not our concept, but this would be great to start getting back into. Whether here or in your ahupuaʻa. #landback

It takes a Nation to restore an ahupuaʻa. Ancestral wisdom has the potential to feed us for generations, if we are ready to accept the kuleana & implement the teachings. Mahalo to all who have come to kōkua this year. We’ll see you again Sat, Jan 25. #landback

The next phase of our efforts at NOH will be training community in hale building with the invasive trees on the property, utilizing our wood mill & get to a stage where we can distribute kits with enough wood to build a housing structure. Filling the gaps the failed state is not. 🪨🪨🪨

Another wall built today. Mahalo to everyone who came out to our Nation of Hawaii Aloha ʻĀina Day! Community making dis happen 🌈 Our Puʻuhonua is alive, thriving & a place of learning. Come join! See you Sat, Jan 25 🪨🪨🌱

Fight for liberation, fight for #landback, fight for freedom. Do not be discouraged, our strength will outpower the fascists whose motivation is so singular & self centered it will implode their own movement. Continue to move as one, build power, control our resources & stay focused. We can win here

Join us this Sat at Puuhonua O Waimanalo. As we enter uncertain times, there’s no more critical time to secure our water sources, plant food, organize on national independence & take part in #landback. Acre by acre we will restore our nation.

Really alarming that Elon Musk & Space X are authorized by the FAA to blow up their spaceships & pollute over Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the largest marine protected areas in the world, home to over 7,000 species. This is hewa.

The environmental risks of SpaceX’s operations extend far beyond Boca Chica. The FAA has also permitted SpaceX to blow up Starship in the Pacific Ocean north of Hawaii. Dangerously close to the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. www.counterpunch.org/2024/12/12/s...

LET THE STRIKE WAVE ROLL!!!!

Dis the only title we need for take back our land. Our Kupuna built these spaces, it’s time to take them all back. #landback #ainaback #nationback

Huge props to @theatlantic.com for posting this story in both ‘ōlelo Hawaii and English. #🌺news, #kanakasky apple.news/AMgPd6-PcQh2...

Join us this Wednesday at Nation of Hawaii for an Aloha ʻĀina Day from 9-1. We will also be holding a Kalo & Huli community distribution from our first harvest 🌱

First image is our excavation units and drain features over drone aerials. Second image is a reconstructed schematic of the wetland garden system. Almost all the historic observations of taro growing in AoNZ were of dry land systems. This is in Taitokerau/northern North Island, for avocados.

Maika`i 🤙🏾💚 Food sovereignty is true sovereignty!

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. 🫡🌱💣

This Indigenous attorney is fighting for climate justice in the world’s highest court #Climate

Please please PLEASE if your little ones school offers keiki pantry, take advantage of it!! Weekly fresh fruit & canned goods to eat if you experience food insecurity! Luckily our complex area offers FREE school brkfst/lunch to ALL haumāna regardless of household income!

Food sovereignty is true sovereignty. 🙌🏾

Nearly 1 in 3 #Hawaii households are struggling with food insecurity. In 29% of households with children, one or more keiki are food insecure. Food insecurity is the lack of access to enough food for a healthy life, don’t have enough to eat & don’t know where their next meal will come from.

A beautiful piece by Hawai’i based Lauren Ballesteros-Watanabe on the the combined efforts of union workers, environmentalists & advocates for Indigenous rights & sovereignty that represent a powerful movement capable of countering capitalism’s destructive tendencies 🥳💫🫡
