Proclamation of Dayne Aipoalani, the Ali‘i Nui of Kauai

Postby Boki » 2008-07-05, 5:19

Attn: Gov. Linda Lingle,

We send you our sincerest Aloha.

It is with utmost respect for the authority of your office and position and for you personally, that we wish to inform you of our intent to restore the rightful ownership of the Kingdom of Atooi (currently referred to as the Islands of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau) in order to re-establish autonomous self-governance of our Kingdom for the benefit of all Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian people residing herein.

As Governor of the State of Hawai‘i, we expect that you will be directly involved in this matter and we hope to work with you in a cordial and cooperative manner. We respectfully request your kind understanding and assistance to apply the rules of law, in righting the wrong that has been perpetrated on the people of our island nation.
Enclosed with this letter you will find documents which clearly outline the history of the illegal takeover of our kingdom, our credentials of ownership and sovereignty, our current position, and our requests to rectify this situation.

In order to rectify an illegal action performed by the Federal Government of the United States, and to correct a long-standing wrong perpetrated on the people of Atooi (currently known as the islands of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau, a County of the State of Hawai‘i), we the Ali‘i, representing the native Customary Chiefs, declare and expect Atooi to once again be a separate sovereign nation controlled entirely by the rightful heirs and owners, the Ali‘i. This independent island nation will be called the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi.
This sovereign nation was illegally seized in a coup over a hundred years ago and has therefore never legally belonged to, nor been a part of the United States. All documentation clearly shows that the United States government has admitted to have taken over their independent sovereign nation in a bloodless coup, performed by wealthy agricultural businessmen/ “landowners,” who were supported by the federal government’s troops in Honolulu, in direct violation of the United States Constitution.

On Jan. 17, 1893, the reigning monarch of Hawai‘i, Queen Liliu’okalani, surrendered the nation under duress and written protest, in order to avoid death and unnecessary bloodshed among her people. Original documentation of the surrender, signed by the Queen reveals that this surrender was given only under protest. Based upon this illegal coup and illegitimate seizure of assets and property, the rightful heirs and owners who wish to restore and reestablish the proper ownership and sovereignty to the customary chiefs, the Ali’i, and their surviving direct descendants. This action is supported by international law and the United States Constitution.
All pertinent documentation clearly establishes the following facts:
• The United States federal government defied its own Constitution by allowing and participating in the takeover of a foreign sovereign nation, and therefore has no right to what was illegally seized and stolen, i.e. the islands comprising the Nation of Hawai‘i.

• President Grover Cleveland was the President and Chief Executive of the United States at the time of the illegal coup. He was not a part of the coup and unlawful occupation, nor did he support it. He signed Executive Order No. 77 of the 52nd Congress, regarding the Hawaiian Kingdom. President Cleveland appointed the former Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, James Blount, as a Special Envoy to Hawai‘i. His report to the President, dated July 17, 1893, claimed the United States had improperly backed the takeover and been responsible for its success. On Dec. 18, 1893, the President of Hawai‘i’s Provisional Government, Sanford Dole, was ordered by the U.S. Government to stand down and dissolve the Provisional Government. He refused. President Cleveland decried the Federal Government’s involvement in the coup and the creation of a Provisional Government by the wealthy landowners who usurped the Monarchy’s power. He considered the entire matter improper.

• The perpetrators who seized their land from the reigning Queen have never had a legal deed or unencumbered title to the land, so it rightfully belongs to the Ali‘i’s royal family even to this day. This is based on the premise that something stolen never becomes the property of the thief, even if it appears to be in their possession. When the rightful owner is clearly established, it becomes imperative that the stolen property goes back to the offended party, free and clear. This point is a straightforward, thoroughly documented legal matter with numerous precedents.

• The Organic Act of 1900 created the “Territory of Hawai‘i” and mistakenly referenced our homeland as the Island of Kaua‘i. The involuntary assignment of a name did not erase our identity, as the earliest extant map of these islands, the Island of Sandwich map of 1779 correctly identifies our homeland, not as Kaua‘i, but as the island of Atooi. This correct designation of Atooi confirms the later fraudulent creation of the name of our homeland as Kaua‘i, but this was an ascribed name to our independent island nation. The Island of Ni‘ihau is connected to Atooi geologically and culturally, and has, by custom, always been a part of this same island kingdom.

• We, the customary Chiefs (Ali‘i) who contain the genetic lineage and Koko (blood) of our ancestors, are the living descendents of Atooi. We have possession of our homeland to any person, institution or governing body. All such annexation and illegitimate occupation of our land is therefore an illegal trespass on our rights and lands, continuing since the unlawful coup of 1893.

• In 1993, as chief executive and commander in chief of the United States, President Bill Clinton issued a formal apology on behalf of the United States government and the American people to the people of Hawai‘i, admitting the error and illegality of the original coup. The United States government therefore has the legal obligation, civil duty and moral imperative to restore the kingdom to its rightful heirs and owners. As a native Hawaiian of aboriginal descent and the Ali‘i of the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi, I humbly and respectfully accept the president’s apology, and currently am in reconciliation.

Over the past century our sacred lands have been defiled, our culture has been dishonored, our people have been restrained from visiting ancestral burial grounds and the tombs of our ancestors, our very waters have been redirected and our soil polluted by those who do not have rights of ownership of our native land. Our Royal ancestors were unlawfully subjugated by avaricious foreign businessmen, backed by U.S. government troops, which led to the unethical submission of our native peoples, the loss of our land rights and the near decimation of our culture.

Maintenance of the status quo serves to vitiate our sovereignty, demean our cultural heritage, debase human decency and violates domestic and international laws. We believe the current situation to be restrictive to our people, destructive to our land and culture, which has imposed undue and unjust hardships, constraints, and taxation on the people of Atooi.

We believe our legal, civil and human rights have been violated. We therefore wish to cease being illegally governed by a foreign power and take the necessary steps to restore our rights, freedom and sovereignty.

Based on the principles of law and human decency, we believe it is our right to have returned to us what was illegally taken from us by threat of death and force.

We believe that our cultural heritage has been handed down for innumerable generations by our ancestors, the Ali‘i, the customary chiefs of our people, to the people of Atooi, bestowing their blessings and bequeathing our rights to autonomy and the usage of our communal lands with its attendant natural resources of agricultural lands, mineral and metallic mines, and waters flowing upon, within and around the Kingdom of Atooi.

We believe it is our right and duty to sever whatever ties we deem restrictive and destructive to our land and people, imposed upon us by a government which unfairly and illegally usurped our legitimate rights to self-governance.

We wish to restore the rights, honor and freedoms which are implicit in a legal system of national self-governance and deserved by all inhibitions of the free and independent nation of Atooi, regardless of age, race or ethnicity.

Therefore, as the current Chief Executive of the State of Hawai‘i, sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the laws of Hawai‘i, we expect and demand that you abide by those laws and rectify the wrong that has devastated our land and culture. As Governor, it is your legal duty and ethical responsibility to execute the following directives and executive orders:

• An Executive Order for the removal of the artificially created Territory of Hawai‘i from the Kingdom of Atooi.

• An Executive Order for the removal of Executive Proclamation 3309, for footing with the 48 American Republic Union States.
• An Executive Order for the removal of the fictitiously created State of Hawai‘i and its Corporate Subdivision, the County of Kaua‘i (which includes the islands of Atooi and Oneeheow), from the Kingdom of Atooi.
• An Executive Order for the negotiation of all fraudulent courts (including, but not limited to: District, Circuit, Family Courts, etc.) illegally imposed upon the Kingdom of Atooi.

• An Executive Order to allow unimpeded access to our ancestral lands and fisheries on and around the Islands of the Northwestern Islands (the chain of Pacific Islands from Nihoa to Kure) which will remain the property of the United States. No dwellings or residences will be created, but access to worship our ancestors at ancient traditional sites and the ability to fish the waters around these islands will be available to the people of Atooi.

Governor Lingle, as the Chief Executive of the State of Hawai‘i, who has sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the State of Hawai‘i, it is incumbent upon you to fulfill that which is your legal responsibility, your civil duty, as well as your moral imperative to impose justice and right the wrongs which have been unfairly and unlawfully perpetrated upon our ancestors and their descendents.
I, Dayne Aipoalani, believe myself to be, and can document myself to be the Ali‘i Nui, the rightful consanguine heir of my ancestors and as such, have full rights to ownership and governance of this native land and nation. I believe this request and declaration to restore our rightful independence and sovereignty to be supported by international rights and laws.

The Island of Kaua‘i will once again become the free and independent Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi (“the Light of God” in our native language), as a self-governing entity and sovereign nation. Our wish is to have peaceful justice for all people of Atooi. This nation shall be established for the good of all Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian people residing herein, in order to allow such inhabitants, of every ethnicity and culture, to enjoy their well deserved and divinely appointed freedoms, the ability to express their cultures, honor their ancestral lands and preserve their rights to life, autonomy and self-determination.

Your attention to, and compliance with this important legal matter is greatly appreciated. We thank you in advance for adhering to the dictates of the United States Constitution, in righting this wrong and for duly restoring the homelands of Atooi to the lawful heirs and owners. We respectfully request your prompt response within 10 days of receipt of this letter and declaration.

Why don't you go and speak to the descendants of Kamehameha first. Tell them that if Hawaii does become independant in the future Ni'ihau and Kaua'i will not form part of the restored kingdom. Then go and restore the kapu and mana in the land.

Then go and talk to the governor of Hawaii. Take care of the spiritual and the physical will follow not the other way around.

King Dayne Aleka Nakaahiki Kanakaole Poikauahi Aipoalani is a personal friend of mine and I support his efforts. We have been working night and day to restore the islands of Atooi and Onehow (known presently as Kauai and Ni'ihau) to our King. I would think that you would offer support rather than mockery.

Mockery?

I was quite serious actually. What I suggested was protocol.

A oia e ke hoahanau! It is protocol and the entire kingdom was ruled under Kamehameha. There are many descendants of Kamehameha today, 2 of them that I know of are my mother's older sister and brother since my grandmother was previously married to a descendant, yet these people are throwing away the history of Hawaii's recent past (post-1810) and now decided to come up with this person as a "king"? Just as bad as the other incident with Akahi Nui, another self proclaimed king who comes from Maui who first claimed to be a descendant of a sister to Queen Liluokalani now says he is a descendant of Liliuokalani herself.

Indeed indeed. It's disheartening these days that there is dwindling understanding of protocol due to what has happened over the course of the last 200 to 300 years.
