CELEBRATE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' DAY!
Annual Counter "Discoverers' Day" / "Columbus Day" Educational Gathering
It's hard to believe it's been 20 years when we first created an uproar in front of the Catholic Diocese of Honolulu one Sunday afternoon in 1997. Media coverage was extensive, which eventually led to the indigenous delegation that coverged on the Vatican in 2000 calling for the formal revocation of Inter Caetera. We've been at it ever since, so in solidarity with indigenous peoples globally, please join us for the 20th annual Indigenous Peoples' Day gathering. Events will take place this year on or around October 12, in Boriken (Puerto Rico) in the town of Guaynabo near the top of what was the "Bello Monte," in Cottonwood, Arizona, in Florida, and in Honolulu, Hawai'i at the top of Fort Street Mall as previously posted.
*Indigenous peoples and supporters in other places are encouraged to organize a small ceremonial event and symbolically burn or tear-up copies of the May 4, 1493 papal bull "Inter Caetera" in demonstration against "Columbus Day," or "Discoverers' Day" as it's known of in Hawai'i. The document along with Las Casas' description of Spanish atrocities committed in the Caribbean are attached below. Students are especially encouraged to attend in order to put theory into a little practice by linking the papal bulls issue with other important indigenous and international human rights' issues.
Sponsoring organizations include: Kosmos Indigena, Ke Aupuni o Hawai'i, Ka Pakaukau, Department of Ethnic Studies (UH Manoa), Ahupua'a Action Alliance, Hawai'i Institute for Human Rights. For more information, email: castanha@hawaii.edu
*Indigenous peoples and supporters are seeking the "formal" revocation of the 1493 papal bull "Inter Caetera." This decree was issued by the Catholic Church to Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the Caribbean. Along with the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas, it sought to establish Christian dominion over the globe and called for the subjugation of non-Christian peoples and allowed for the seizure of their lands. As a result, an estimated 100 million indigenous peoples were killed off in the process of Europe's colonization of the indigenous world. This papal edict has yet to be formally repealed and is thought by many to be the "foundation-stone" of the international system we live under today and directly related to the corporate-state-military plunder and rape of the planet, which is sometimes linked to the phenomenon known as "globalization."

Subject: BOR RESPONSE not good Re: RE: WILL UH PRESIDENT DAVID LASSNER TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT PUEO @ UHWO?
Aloha UH BOR-
????? Why would UH BOR respond in this way----and punt and rather place the request about PUEO on site @ UHWO on Chancellor Benham's domain- and BOR pass/or deflect the agenda request?
Why would UH BOR interject that this is a Chancellor Benham matter- when Chancellor Benham has demonstrated and acted in a way that reflects she does nor care about Pueo?
This is a BOR matter- please place such on BOR agenda asap- mahalo- why- ? Here is why:
WHAT WE KNOW THUS FAR ABOUT CHANCELLOR BENHAM:
1. Chancellor Benham has declined to meet with the Kanehili Cultural Hui- of which group monitors the Pueo on the Ewa Plain.
2. Chancellor Benham has declined to meet with Honouliuli Ahupua'a Pueo Ceremony Giver/Protector & Native Hawaiian Cultural Practitioner, Michael Kumukauoha Lee via OHA regarding the plight of his Amakua family - and the right to worship per our State Constitution Article 12 his Amakua in the living, not dead state whereby the property is still yet, in a undeveloped condition with PUEO.
3. Chancellor Benham authorized and approved the POLICY TO ADVANCE a means to destroy over 100-acres of fallow ag land that were home to Pueo this June of 2017- whereby it was Chancellor Benham who authorized the biggest assault in decades on Pueo and their Habitat by levying a policy to defoliate all trees and shrubs and grasses Pueo use- and had the Pueo Habitat area grubbed and graded. Chancellor Benham allowed the bulldozing of the trees used by the Pueo for their safety, hiding, perching, courting, sleeping endeavors - a "source" for food in the food chain/ecosystem- - now under her watch, such prime Pueo Habitat nurturing the Pueo successfully for decades, was destroyed and plowed into the Hunehune Gulch to rot.
*Two Barn Owl nests with chicks were destroyed in the onslaught- the chicks killed- the adults fled. One Pueo nesting site - possibly with eggs and or fledglings, also was destroyed- site where a pair of Pueo went into and out from a specific grass patch for years during various seasons- now destroyed by and at the hands of Chancellor Benham and her policies to inflict as much harm upon Pueo as possible.
4. Chancellor Benham is not threw yet with her extirpation plans for Pueo @ UHWO- whereby she is to destroy more Pueo foraging grounds knowingly and willingly ANY DAY NOW--- (additional fallow ag lands housing Pueo have trees and shrubs marked with ribbons signifying that these trees and shrubs are ready for defoliating)------
5. .........and, Chancellor Benham has actively sought to harm Pueo recovery efforts by refusing to deter the dogs permitted to roam free over Pueo nesting sites, and refused to deter the motorized dirt bikes used on property to attack and harass the Pueo. A simple solution would be to erect KEEP OUT signs- but the Chancellor refuses to act on behalf of the Pueo.
6. The application of pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides on site- use of chemicals that are known to severely harm Pueo - has also increased tenfold under Chancellor Benham's tenure.
These are the facts.
If Pueo were to have an ally here- it ain't in Chancellor Benham's heart, period.

Aloha Mr. David Lassner, President of the University of Hawaii 10-campus system, and the 15 Members of the Board of Regents (BOR), and University of Hawaii West Oahu Chancellor, Dr. Maenette Benham :
and Associated Students of the University of Hawaii (ASUH) :
My name is Tom Berg. I am a resident of Ewa Beach and this email is about the PUEO
@ UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII WEST OAHU.
Photo extrapolated from video link pasted above: Sept. 20, 2017- Pueo @ UHWO
The University of Hawaii West Oahu (UHWO) campus
has a pair of Pueo - (Hawaiian Owl -Asio flammeus sandwichenis, a subspecies of the short-eared owl that is endemic to Hawaii) - occupying the undeveloped parcels within the southern half of the property.
It has been conveyed, Dr. Javier Cotin, a certifiable ornithologist
(on contract to assist DLNR conduct an islandwide survey for Pueo in the State of Hawaii),
witnessed the Pueo earlier this year on UHWO property multiple times.
The Pueo are listed as an endangered specie on the island of Oahu- yet,
UHWO/BOR are actively removing habitat used by the Pueo.
An illustration below of UHWO property features a yellow line on the map- This yellow line is a boundary line devised to identify the area that the Pueo are utilizing for the specie's proliferation
(as witnessed by many; evidence of Pueo inhabitation @ UHWO
is overwhelming).
POINT: The entire landmass identified within the yellow line, is under the
jurisdiction of the UH BOR - and illustrates where Pueo activity is
most prevalent.
If a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)
were to be ordered on behalf of the Pueo, the landmass as identified
within the yellow line would prove to suffice, and satisfy the intent and purpose of the HCP.
UHWO could reconfigure its plans- and build higher- more vertical housing
to accommodate a HCP, and therefore, not lose any potential funding
and rather gain an asset - a world class endangered species preserve-
an outdoor classroom in which students could earn a doctorate- priceless.
I believe the inventory process (EIS) that was executed to substantiate for the presence of Pueo on the 498 -acre makai parcel was severely flawed. The narrative that the property was of no value to the Pueo was a gross misrepresentation of the true characteristics of the property in general.
The false narrative - that the 498-acre parcel was void of having any value
to Pueo, per the FEIS, is an affront to all who know such to be not true-
and the reason for contacting you.
To knowingly and willingly advance the false narrative that UHWO grounds have absolutely no value to the proliferation, sustainability, and well-being for Pueo, is an act of bad faith, and robs all students attending UHWO from the truth. Per a January 30, 2017, Pacific Business News article-
university-of-hawaii-selects-
it states that, in reference to the UHWO property:
In 2014, university officials reexamined
The purpose of this email communication
is to make the request that the subject matter aforementioned, be revisited,
and the matter of Pueo occupying the UHWO property be reexamined to include
the following subject:
**** I am asking that the aforementioned subject be scheduled as an agenda item
for the BOR at the earliest possible date -
I am prepared to make a presentation if permitted, and to bring forth the evidence, that it would be more advantageous to the University System, to adopt a plan that
incorporates an outdoor classroom, an in situ laboratory, for the purposes in which
to provide students with the ability to study endangered species right on campus...
it costs nothing to maintain...and the research to be garnered from Pueo behavior,
of great substance to the scientific community.
Value- to witness Pueo @ UHWO- its worth to future generations- worth to the community at-large---priceless.
If a poll were taken of the student body- their sentiments as to the best end-use for the
498-acre property, do you think the results would reflect the students as being in favor of
protecting the Pueo- such as leaving the Pueo with a patch of land to call home?
Or, would the student body favor extirpating the Pueo in totality for the development of
a "college town"- as is the current plan---to develop a college town on what is
prime, active Pueo Habitat?
Problem is, UHWO & BOR, in tandem, have declined to take any action to correct
the false narrative- counter the FEIS, and inform their students of the truth-
that there are indeed Pueo @ UHWO trying to survive:
I await your response- your assistance and cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Wow- playbook how to purge Hawaiian culture- simply name the school mascot after the pueo- a few street names, a park or two, and place a statue of it around town- that suffices- who needs the real deal anyways? Why are Hawaiians sitting silent- not giving a shit for the most part watching their amakua get creamed into oblivion under their own eyes?
Besides Mike Lee, Kai Markell, and Lancelot Lincoln, I know of no other native Hawaiians seeking to give a shit and come to the aid of the Pueo under siege in Ewa.....why? Why have most of the Native Hawaiians succumbed to accepting symbols and street names as culture worth preserving- in lieu of protecting the real breathing amukaua, the Pueo?
Photo above @ UHWO- Pueo looking at its nest that UHWO says does not exist- and hence- the Pueo permitted to be purged from the property.
You all cool with that?
Sad.....

Subject: Dr. Beham's response Re: UHWO Response to your emails
Aloha Chancellor Benham-
Your kind and thorough response is appreciated- you could have gone nuclear on me and avoided the inquiry as have the others in authority with titles to their name have done - and played the game and dismissed me as a madman with no credentials to warrant your time.
May I please apprise you, that your premise- your protocol, your rationale for taking the position that you need only give a hoot, only take action, only intervene on behalf of the Pueo if and when you are apprised there is a bonafide nest with owlets/chicks/and or eggs/hatchlings in your jurisdiction---well, that is the flaw- the wrong- the injustice- the inadequate approach and cause for the current plight of the Pueo to be in peril.
Quickly- the EIS performed in 2005 had one man, cover 500-acres to inventory for all endangered animals- birds on UHWO property- and the man only looked for Pueo on two mornings in April- (15th, and 17th to be exact) ---and he, doing the inventory to observe for Pueo on site never looked before sunrise when the Pueo are out- and never looked after sunrise when the Pueo are out. The man looked for a few hours during business hours and determined no Pueo were there- hence, the man not seeing any Pueo after looking for the Pueo for just a few hours - it was concluded in the EIS submitted that zero Pueo live here, zero Pueo frequent the site, and the biggest conclusion made was, that the entire property has zero value to Pueo and that the entire 500-acre parcel void of any habitat conducive, or of any value to the Pueo.
We in the community know- the man looking for Pueo during the EIS looked when the motorized dirt bikers had already scared all Pueo from the property that day(s)- and that wild dogs were at times, out with the dirt bikers to chase the birds away....no person under those circumstances would ever see the Pueo- period. One has to wait a day or more for the situation to calm down- the Pueo don't return to the property for days after being terrorized by motorized dirt bikers.....and that is what happened in April of 2005 on the15th and 17th when the inventory for Pueo was performed- --this can be proven 100% on my end.
The FEIS for UHWO codified a falsified /fake/fraudulent narrative of the property- that no Pueo use the property- this characterization is patently false. Had the observer executing the inventory for Pueo in 2005 told the truth- and looked after sunset, and before sunrise- and waited after the dirt bikers and dogs left the scene- he would have seen it- ----and the results be, that UHWO would have had to mitigate then for the Pueo regardless of any nest- and initiate a HCP back then on behalf of the Pueo.
But with PBR- the consultant that executed the inventory for Pueo simply lied through his teeth, and falsifying the report in the EIS, that the property has, had, and will have zero significance and worth to Pueo- this was purely, a deception that is prosecutable as a crime.
I moved here in 1997- and I witnessed Pueo almost daily, traverse the 500-acre property repeatedly at UHWO- through today. How the EIS missed that bird in 2005 is suspect- and rather, an act of malice.
Had the man conducting the inventory for the EIS for UHWO been competent, and performed the inventory for Pueo before sunrise, and again after sunset, the EIS would have reflected the truth- that there are indeed Pueo on the property. I can scour the area from 8am to 4pm daily and never see a Pueo on property....but if I scour the area at sunset, and at sunrise, I see them ALL THE TIME.
And - the Hoary Bat only comes out at night- and for the EIS at UHWO, no inventory to observe for this endangered mammal ever transpired-
Yet, the FEIS for UHWO claimed zero bats occupy the site.....how can that conclusion be valid, and hold water in a court of law, when the observer never looked at night for the bats? I saw and see bats there- I look at night- whereas in contrast, your PBR consultant executed a grossly inadequate, incomplete, flawed, EIS inventory on purpose- by design- to cheat wildlife from due recourse by never looking for bats or anything living nocturnal- refusing to work at sunset and after sunset, and before sunrise and immediately after sunrise and beyond.
What we have here, is a community that knows the truth- all know Pueo are there- were always there- and now, you want to remove them by claiming - let me paraphrase YOUR ATTITUDE AND WORDS:
"We have no nest here- therefore, Pueo have no standing, and will get zero mitigation to help them cope with being terminated, evicted, extirpated from the property. We don't protect Pueo habitat, only a nest, and when the nest is no longer occupied, we can destroy the site, by law- and that is exactly what we are going to do."
I pray you get visited by the Pueo, and it explains to you, how backwards, uneducated, and cruel your position is- and that you come around and honor it, respect it, and fight for its home as any caring, loving human would do. To be pono- do pono- live pono- is clearly, a myth of yesteryear, and not alive and well @ UHWO.
What you are doing to the Pueo and its home- you call that pono?

On behalf of UHWO, we are deeply appreciative of your and other community members vigilance to ensure that we are fully aware of and taking action to mālama our beloved pueo in Moku o Ewa, Ahupuaʻa o Honouliuli, in particular, as sighted on UHWO property.
We are fully aware that the Hawaiian Pueo, found on all main islands of Hawaiʻi has been designated by the State of Hawaiʻi as endangered on the island of Oʻahu. Since November 2, 2016, UHWO has enforced a Pueo Protocol, please see url: http://www.uhwo.hawaii.edu/
Our practice has been to disseminate this protocol to everyone who works on our land to include: AAHF contractor, rail station contractor, Aloun Farms, rancher the cuts grass/feed.
DLNR contracted UHM CTAHR to begin to study the habits of the Hawaiian Pueo on Oʻahu. UHWO is one of several sites where this study is being done. This is what has been reported to date (10.6.2017):
1. That the contracted unit at UHM/CTAHR is currently studying Pueo on Oʻahu. The study is ongoing.
2. The researchers and DLNR meet with UHWO on a regular basis.
3. The researchers report to DLNR is due in the Spring of 2018. There is hope that more funding is provided so that the study can continue.
4. Pueo have been cited flying over and hunting on UHWO lands. The researchers last visit to UHWO was with a campus executive and student. A pueo was sighted.
5. To date, the Pueo does hunt over UHWO. Nesting has not been observed.
UHWO regularly meets with and will continue to work with the DLNR contracted researchers.
It is the position of UHWO, that our educative work invests in people, in our students as future community leaders across diverse professions who will ensure the health and well-being of our ʻohana/families and paeʻāina. In addition, we invest in the life and mo'olelo of our island places, along with intentional rejuvenation of our ancestral lands, and all that means to include flora, fauna, ʻōiwi, and so on.
Our land development plans acknowledge the challenges we face to include 100+ years of industrial agriculture and the recent development of lands around our parcel. Nevertheless, our kuleana to Aloha ʻĀina commits us to the replanting of native trees, grasses and shrubs for the rejuvenation of kanaka habitat in designated open greenways and landscape buffers (e.g., along our gulches). Additionally, UHWO is dedicated to trandisciplinary course work and community-based scholarship focused on habitat rejuvenation.
We are all keiki o ka ʻāina -- both malihini and kamaʻāina -- embracing the principles of Aloha ʻĀina.
E mālama pono!

OHA has lost all credibility - throws Pueo under the bus

Question- why are most of the Hawaiians looking the other way.....and not defending this sacred bird where it lay its head.....why are most of the Hawaiians condoning the harm caused to it....knowingly and willingly? Why are Hawaiians for the most part- content on naming streets and places for the Pueo- pretending to care- fake news- in place of, in lieu of protecting the real breathing being and are allowing the Pueo to be killed at UHWO and then claim they as Native Hawaiians are practicing the Hawaiian culture- ???
I guess today, all one has to do is put on a robe, blow a conch shell, and claim they live the Aloha- and give themselves title as Cultural Practioner. What a farce. Disgrace.
There is a pair of Pueo trying to nest- tend to eggs at UHWO- but no one but Mike Lee and Kai Markell are actively trying to defend the Pueo- where are the Hawaiians?

Subject: Be a HERO Just For ONE DAY
We could be heroes for just one day....AND RALLY to save the Pueo- for all get protected under its wings.....this guy followed me last night-
it went from tree top to tree top swirling around me- then crossed Kualaka'i Parkway when I did- and it almost got hit by a car...no sense filming in pure darkness- as you cans see from my few attempts- it called out to me- you can hear it- it was trying to tell me the Pueo have fled.....the Pueo have given up on us....the Pueo feels abandoned.....let down....and are in morning. I have not seen any evidence of Pueo for the last two days.....if they return, they know no one is there with authority to fend for it- so why stay? UH destroyed its home.
They- the Pueo know- that this society- this generation of Hawaiians, are not the same as those of past and that the new people here do not revere the Pueo anymore- proof is in how the Pueo is being treated- this is undisputed. Name the one group of native Hawaiians fighting to protect this bird- none....I rest my case.
