The ICC and global justice:
Came into force in 2002
The Rome Statute that set it up has been ratified by 123 countries, but the US is a notable absence
It aims to prosecute and bring to justice those responsible for the worst crimes - genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes
Only Africans prosecuted so far

"Our reality is obscured by everyone else's interests." - Keala Kelly
Starts on 34:38

Mahalo to Liz Hill and Tiokasin Ghosthorse for the opportunity to speak about what The Rock is trying to do to the mo'olelo of King Kamehameha. The conversation... turned to the subject of desecration in general, but it's mostly about the film and Hawaiian representation.
My segment starts at minute 35:00. But Becky Hill-Genia, who is interviewed just before me, sounds like she's talking about the desecrations in Hawaii. But she is Shinnecock and talking about Long Island.

Just wanted to clear up a few things in an effort of transparency about the No Aloha Poke Co movement:
1. This movement started with grassr...oots organizers. Kalama and I were asked by an individual to take up the issue of a Kanaka Maoli business owner being harrassed by a Chicago based corporation to stop using the word "Aloha" and "Poke". Kalama made one livefeed and the rest is history. For over two weeks we spent hours working on this issue no money on our free time.
2. The Chicago movement started and they mobilized to take a stand against the Chicago based company. It grew from one event to two events.
3. OHA and CNHA jumped onto this issue on their own and was instrumental in helping to support planning two more events in Chicago supporting the Chicago supporters on the ground. Its the same people doing all four events on the ground because there so few Kanaka there.
3. This issue is multlayered and HUGE. There is the trademark reversal of Aloha and other Hawaiian words and 'ike which will take years and money. The option of a class action lawsuit to ensure that these corporations don't do this again will take years and money. There is the educational piece of intellectual property rights outlined in the Paoakalani Declaration. And the grassroots movement to raise awareness and the consciousness of this issue in the community.
4. OHA and CNHA has stated publically that they are looking in the legal layers. Aunty Vicky who was a drafter of the Paoakalani Declaration went up to Chicago to do a workshop on intellectual property rights. And myself and others have been supporting the grassroots movement how I can. (I can't speak for anyone else).
5. T-shirt sales from Ponokealii Ponokealii's site and from Warrior Printing are the only shirt sales whom I know are sending profits to the Kanaka family who have had to spend a lot of money rebranding their shop name. They are doing these shirt sales on their own and as volunteers. They are small Kanaka owned businesses.
6. The Paoakalani Declaration if any of you don't know came out of a 2003 Intellectual Property Rights conference in response to Disney's trademarking of the work Kalakaua and an ancient chant. The declaration also encompasses Kanaka dna. This issue of No Aloha Poke Co is one in the same as the Kim Taylor Reece issue, the trademarking of traditional quilt patterns, and the list can go on and on. Its also a big piece of the issue of self-determination as defined in UNDRIP. This issue is old and not going away anytime soon. The trademarking of our knowledge, language and 'ike is big business. Meanwhile Kanaka are not allowed to use their own quilt designs, the word aloha or hula poses in pictures?
7. I know that people like Kealii Blaisdell has come out in support of Aloha Poke Co. citing people's ku'e behaivor. But what people don't know is that he offered his services to the family who were harrassed by Aloha Poke Co. before he came out in support of this Chicago based corp. Time and again I have heard leaders in this movement call out for "Kapu Aloha" or the showing of real aloha when protesting this issue but how people react to this issue on the grassroots level (after being asked by leadership to show aloha) is on the individual.
8. I have not taken money from OHA or CNHA - nor will I. What these two organizations do they do because they want to - and they have the resources to do it. Don't ask me about who they gave money to and what they paying for I don't know. But what I do know is what my grandmother told me long ago that has stuck in my head, "They [Haoles] coming to take everything." And for me when looking at this issue I see that. I am involved in about 5 other issues (Koho Pono Educational Campaign, Kuleana Lands, Short Term Housing Rentals, Prepping Issues for the Leg, and most recently the Elderts murder) right now and really if OHA and CNHA want to lead the charge I am relieved cause I do have a family, two jobs, I sit on two boards, and chair a PAC. Am I up for long expensive legal battles to ward off more corporations trademarking our 'ike, language, art, music, and dna? Um not at this moment. But I am down for educating our people on the Paoakalani Declaration which this issue has brought renewed attention too. I am also down to supporting grassroots Kanaka movements, Kanaka small business owners and protecting what is ours.

can’t agree."
JUST KEEPING IT REAL:
I totally agree with Kumu Lilikala's statement. As someone who grew up in the poor, rough neighborhood of Kamehameha IV Housing Project I have a certain respect for people who are transparent, forward, and stick with their positions. Hipocrisy (where you say one thing but do another) was something not tolerated where I grew up. To not get mobbed or picked on you had to it keep real - do what you say and say what you mean. We called people who said one thing and did another FAKE. Its mind boggling to me that there are pro Independence & pro Hawaiian Kingdom Kanaka Maoli that would actually support this movie being written and directed by White Privileged Men and portrayed by an American Samoan who only spent 1-2 years of his late teenage years in Hawai'i and does not have not even have one drop of Kanaka blood.

Yes I can be friends with some (not all) pro-federal recognition peeps because at least they are honest, transparent and unwavering about their political positions. But for some reason the fake pro Independence and pro Hawaiian Kingdom guys who shout "Independence" yet do things that are in direct opposition to their so called "radical" stance rub me the wrong way.
Maybe I've seen to much in the movement. But here is some advice to those in the pro Independence movement:
1. If you can't afford principles - get a real job. If you cannot take care your family how are you going to lift up a Nation?
2. Actions speak louder than words. Your believable when both are in sync.
3. The bottomline should be the well-being of our people and not how to make money off our people.
4. Look at the larger picture and father down the road and not just what affects you and yours. Compromise now make traveling farther down the same road harder for the rest of us and future generations.
5. Ku'e this white washing monstrosity of a Movie about the first and greatest King of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
