To:  U.S. Congress, Hawaii City Concil, Honolulu City Concil, City & County of Honolulu, State of Hawai'i, Office of the City Auditor, Kawaiaha'o Church kahu, USA, Japan, Hawai'i residents
SAVE KAWAIAHA'O CHURCHYARD:

Located in the heart of Honolulu, Hawai'i; Kawaiaha'o Church was built in 1836 - 1842.
The foundation of the Kawaiaha'o Church is made from around 14,000 lbs. of offshore reef coral rock, by the people that were laid to rest in the churchyard next to the church. The architect during the time was Hiram Bingham.
Amongst the churchyard's buried, is a crypt of one of Hawaii's own Royal Monarchs, King Lunalilo. He was laid to rest there, due to his request of being near his own mother, whom is laid to rest in the churchyard.

During the years of the mid 1800s to the late 1800s, many of the Native Hawaiian chiefs, the Native Hawaiian Royal Monarchs, and their families have attended the Kawaiaha'o Congregational Church's religious services, which were spoken in the Native Hawaiian language.
Today, Native Hawaiian is still spoken in the religious services held at the Kawaiaha'o Church.

On December 29, 1962; Kawaiaha'o Church became a U.S. NHL (National Historic Landmark).
On October 15, 1966; Kawaiaha'o Church also became a U.S. NRHP (National register of Historic places).

However, in 2006, there was a public board meeting held in Honolulu, Hawai'i; regarding a land development proposal for a wedding reception area to be built over the churchyard / graveyard, dismantling and relocating the remains in an undisclosed area.
Since then, many Native Hawaiian protests and injunctions have been filed to stop the Hawai'i state decision.
To this day, this is still an ongoing issue.

On February 14, 2011 (Valentine's Day), the construction crews proceeded with the start of the removal.

Many tourists, Hawai'i residents, and bridal services are not aware of this issue, due to the rise of the current church greed to host more weddings;
thus disrespecting the buried, whom helped build the now Historic Kawaiaha'o Church.

For years, the descendents of the buried, have visited their ancestors buried there, to pay their respect.

The issue regarding the Historical Kawaiaha'o Church is;
If you were buried there, and helped with building a beautifully and well constructed church with your own bare hands and sweat, would you want your original resting ground to have a wedding reception to be built over?


Please STOP the excavating of the deceased hardworkers, whom were honored to be buried in the Kawaiaha'o Church's churchyard.
They are the foundation in building the now Historical site of Kawaiaha'o Church.

"U'i ka mana'o, Maika'i ke Aloha."
Translation: "Thinking is beautiful, LOVE is Good."
Sincerely,



The Save Kawaiaha'o Churchyard Petition to U.S. Congress, Hawaii City Concil, Honolulu City Concil, City & County of Honolulu, State of Hawai'i, Office of the City Auditor, Kawaiaha'o Church kahu, USA, Japan, Hawai'i residents was created by and written by Christie Ku'ulei Gora (savekawaiahao@ymail.com).  This petition is hosted here at www.PetitionOnline.com as a public service.

Summary
We are a genealogy based society.  It would be worth your while to set aside this important information with your land, genealogy records because it is now proven that Bernice Pauahi Bishop was NOT the “last of the Kamehameha’s” and the lies are but criminal propaganda set in place by the non-kanaka maoli, the treasonous persons who moved to assume all that does not belong to them.

Official Notice
I'm officially requesting the OIBC get written answers to three questions that were voice at the OIBC field trip to Kawaiaho Chuch Likeke project as I attended and was present.
Firstly, I Michael Kumukauoha Lee officially request that the Hawaii State OIBC ask the Kawaiahao Church trustees answer by Hawaii State law mandates the OIBC to deal with Hawaiian Iwikupuna requesting written answers to the questions.
Why were glass from children s coffins and coffins were dis-guarded and thrown away in the accusations of Kalai who claimed to have written documentation to these actions.
Did this occur and what was the reason for throwing these materials away.
The question from my blood cousin Amelia Gora why were graves removed in the Likeke Hall project area site foot print that were clearly marked by grave stones from my family of Kalola that Amelia claimed too be illegal.Why was this done breaking the law? This needs too be answered in writing which I'm requesting as a beneficiary of OHA and a citizen and a Hawaiian Cultural Practitioner recognized in First Circuit Court. of the US and Hawaii tax payer.
And Michael Kumukauoha Lee's question what is the time period of desertification of the active cemetery and when are they going to pour the concrete for the foundation? Once the Christian level has been removed I have demonstrated in the 1810 map 10 years before the arrival of the New England based missionary's arrival in this area which I had given to the OIBC on  11, 2012 meeting on Wednesday that Kinau and Queen Keopualani had village complex very near by were retainers would be buried upon their deaths in the Kawaiahao land area because the shoreline was coral reef ancient deposits.I have officially requested in this meeting and in this email the a Hawaiian Archeological survey be done in conjunction with OHA to determine and insure that no ancient Hawaiian iwi will be crushed or destroyed being in eminent harm by the pouring of the concrete for Likeke take place.The OIBC has the mandate under Hawaii State law to protect Hawaiian iwikupuna once Kawaiahao decertification their cemetery takes place ass non active. This is the WHY of my question.
We are making this formal official written request to the OIBC via OIBC Chair Hina.
The answers too these questions in writing should come no latter then the next OIBC meeting in February 08, 2012 it is called due diligence with due care in due time.
I further request that this email be shared with the proper parties at Kawaiahao Church as well.
Respectfully yours;
Michael Kumukauoha lee

another article which says a lot:
1882- Hawaii is an Occupied country.  Admission to the fact is in the last sentence of
the following article which appeared in  THE FRIEND, Honolulu, June, 1882:


                                       FREE RUM, FREE OPIUM!

“Some years ago there resided in Honolulu, an American Consul possessed of much shrewdness and a goodly share of mother wit.  On a certain occasion, the case of a man was brought in his notice who was much inclined to drink.  The Consul’s advice was sought.  His reply was, “I would advise to shut that man up in a room with a barrel of whiskey, and tell him to ‘go it,’ and you will very soon dispose of the man and he will be of no further trouble.”

“Now one would suppose that our Legislators had inherited the views of this U.S. official when they propose legislating in favor of Free Rum and Free Opium.  Let this measure pass, and depend upon it.  Hawaiians would “go-it” —aye, to their death.  It needs no extensive acquaintance with the history of Hawaiian Kings, Chiefs, and common people to learn that rum has slain its thousands, and now add opium to the number of destructive agencies and very soon the Poet of Hawaii will sing the deathdirge, of the “last of the Hawaiians.”  Rum-sellers and opium vendors, standing beside their graves may then truthfully exclaim in the language of Othello “our occupation’s gone”.”

note: drugs, narcotics/opium,   "graves" and "occupation's gone".........................words/clues to the planned demise of Kanaka Maoli, the title holders/land owners in the Hawaiian Islands.............

Brought this thread forward since the issues of the Kawaiahao Burials are in the news again:
Kawaiahao Church Burials
 - Updates -
           by Amelia Gora
The following is a Chronological listing of the events affecting Kawaiahao Church burials:
1810 approximately - Maps found by researcher, cultural expert Mike Lee showing that the area was used as a burial ground.
1848 - Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III gave the property to the Kanaka Maoli who helped to build the Kawaiahao Church.  This was an ano alodio/alodio title.
1848 - Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III conveyed the Konohiki title to Kaaha, husband of Kalola who married Luluhiwalani, et. als.
Their children were Alapai Kahekili Luluhiwalani; hanai:  Kamamalu (w) who married Liholiho/ Kamehameha II, and both died in England in 1824; hanai:  Kapooloku/Abigail Kapoolohu (w)/ Princess Poomaikelani whose descendants existed in 1893 and today, including myself, Amelia Gora.
1893 -  Premeditated dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani and leaving her and her subjects, Alii, all Kanaka Maoli, foreigners under duress, stress, usurpation, coercion, etc.
1894 - Sanford B. Dole, treasonous person, conspirator, Pirate criminally conveyed properties to the Church and disregarded the true ano alodio/alodio title holders, etc.
2006 - The following was delivered to the Kawaiahao Church:
   
2011 - Oahu Burial Council Meeting pertaining to Kawaiahao Burials, etc.
Genocide Activities List for those supporting Kawaiahao Burial Removals:
2012 - Continued Oppositions made, including Konohiki claims.
Summary
The criminal, wrongful removal of the true land owners, the ano alodio/alodio title owners were removed and their descendants were disregarded.
Theft of gold coins, funerary objects were reported to the Honolulu Police Department, issues unresolved.
Genocide Activities List at the Honolulu Police Department now contains more peoples names including the Kahu of the Kawaiahao Church, et. als.
Failure to recognize the true owners are an issue, especially since the 1849 Treaty is still in place, a perpetual treaty.
The 1849 Treaty with the Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States of America is locked in with the 1849 U.S. Constitution.
The Treaty(ies) supersedes State Laws.  See:  http://maoliworld.com/forum/topics/the-1849-perpetual-treaty-ies-an...
The Kawaiahao Church along with others are illegally operating on foreign soil because the Hawaiian Kingdom is a foreign nation occupied by documented Pirates on the High Seas, Americans who did premeditate the criminal removal of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893, raped the living and now the dead.
The United States needs to set up an Embassy to take care of their own documented Missionaries/mercenaries, et. als./occupiers, criminal activists who have been breaking laws, stealing, swindling, making for profit, encroaching on properties without rights, obtaining assets, incomes, etc. since they arrived in 1820.
aloha.

Queen Liliuokalani prophesied and stated the following:
“Oh, honest Americans, as Christians hear me for my downtrodden people! Their form
of Government is as dear to them as yours is Precious to you. Quite as warmly s you love
your country, so they love theirs. With all your Goodly possessions, covering a
territory so immense that there yet remain parts unexplored, possessing islands that,
although new at hand, had to be neutral ground in time of war, do not covet the little
vineyard of Naboth’s, so far from your shores, lest the Punishment of Ahab fall upon you,
if not in Your day, in that of your children, for “be not deceived, God is not
mocked.” The people to whom your fathers told of the living God, and taught to call
“Father”, and whom the sons now seek to despoil and destroy, are crying aloud
to Him in the time of trouble, and He will keep His promise, and will listen to the
Voices of His Hawaiian children lamenting for their homes.”

Kawaiahao Church Burials - Updates - by Amelia GoraThe following is a Chronological listing of the events affecting Kawaiahao Church burials:1810 approximately - Maps found by researcher, cultural expert Mike Lee showing that the area was used as a burial ground.1848 - Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III gave the property to the Kanaka Maoli who helped to build the Kawaiahao Church. This was an ano alodio/alodio title.1848 - Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III conveyed the Konohiki title to Kaaha, husband of Kalola who married Luluhiwalani, et. als.Their children were Alapai Kahekili Luluhiwalani; hanai: Kamamalu (w) who married Liholiho/ Kamehameha II, and both died in England in 1824; hanai: Kapooloku/Abigail Kapoolohu (w)/ Princess Poomaikelani whose descendants existed in 1893 and today, including myself, Amelia Gora.1893 - Premeditated dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani and leaving her and her subjects, Alii, all Kanaka Maoli, foreigners under duress, stress, usurpation, coercion, etc.1894 - Sanford B. Dole, treasonous person, conspirator, Pirate criminally conveyed properties to the Church and disregarded the true ano alodio/alodio title holders, etc.2006 - The following was delivered to the Kawaiahao Church: 2011 - Oahu Burial Council Meeting pertaining to Kawaiahao Burials, etc.http://state.hi.us/dlnr/hpd/bcd/minut... Activities List for those supporting Kawaiahao Burial Removals:http://state.hi.us/dlnr/hpd/bc... - Continued Oppositions made, including Konohiki claims.SummaryThe criminal, wrongful removal of the true land owners, the ano alodio/alodio title owners were removed and their descendants were disregarded.Theft of gold coins, funerary objects were reported to the Honolulu Police Department, issues unresolved.Genocide Activities List at the Honolulu Police Department now contains more peoples names including the Kahu of the Kawaiahao Church, et. als.Failure to recognize the true owners are an issue, especially since the 1849 Treaty is still in place, a perpetual treaty.The 1849 Treaty with the Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States of America is locked in with the 1849 U.S. Constitution.The Treaty(ies) supersedes State Laws. See:http://maoliworld.com/forum/to... Kawaiahao Church along with others are illegally operating on foreign soil because the Hawaiian Kingdom is a foreign nation occupied by documented Pirates on the High Seas, Americans who did premeditate the criminal removal of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893, raped the living and now the dead.The United States needs to set up an Embassy to take care of their own documented Missionaries/mercenaries, et. als./occupiers, criminal activists who have been breaking laws, stealing, swindling, making for profit, encroaching on properties without rights, obtaining assets, incomes, etc. since they arrived in 1820.aloha.

Queen Liliuokalani prophesied and stated the following: “Oh, honest Americans, as Christians hear me for my downtrodden people! Their form
of Government is as dear to them as yours is Precious to you. Quite as warmly s you love
your country, so they love theirs. With all your Goodly possessions, covering a
territory so immense that there yet remain parts unexplored, possessing islands that,
although new at hand, had to be neutral ground in time of war, do not covet the little
vineyard of Naboth’s, so far from your shores, lest the Punishment of Ahab fall upon you,
if not in Your day, in that of your children, for “be not deceived, God is not
mocked.” The people to whom your fathers told of the living God, and taught to call
“Father”, and whom the sons now seek to despoil and destroy, are crying aloud
to Him in the time of trouble, and He will keep His promise, and will listen to the
Voices of His Hawaiian children lamenting for their homes.”

  • posted the following update about the Kawaiahao Church burials...........aloha.

    burial grounds
    honoluluweekly.com
    The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) is pressing for an accounting of the iwi kupuna unearthed at Kawaiahao Church to determine if they include traditional and historical burials not covered by a state disinterment permit. Some 605 sets of iwi kupuna and thousands of other remains have been removed ...
Amelia Gora  Posted this on Facebook 2/15/2013 - Friday for the Record:
On Wednesday, a Bill introduced by Brickwood Galuteria and Malama Solomon was heard and we were there to oppose.........the plan was to ship our kupuna iwi ---the unidentified ones ---to KAHOOLAWE! where were the Hawaiian people? Mike Lee, Kimo Saffery-Tripp, the Asam brothers, and myself were in opposition...... oh btw OHA and other agencies were FOR IT! Auwe!.,,,...I did point out that there was grave robbery done at Kawaiahao Cemetery because the people buried there were Alii and most had a number of gold coins, gold, diamonds, pearls, etc. buried with them.....WHERE IS IT? WHERE ARE THE TREASURES OF OUR TUTU which belongs to our tutus or their descendants? Maka Ala People! GRAVE ROBBERY documented and they did remove 600 - six hundred iwi!......and they were considering the Bill to put them away...... as the Asams stated....
"Occupiers!" Solomon, and Galuteria yelled to call security and Solomon said to call the police!...........where were the OLELO cameras? where are you Kanaka Maoli? where are you the descendants of the 600+ iwi who would have been taken off island and placed on the multiple nuclear bombed island of KAHOOLAWE!.....only a few of us spoke up...........alas, psa/psaaa - where were you Kanaka Maoli? step up to the plate.... I for one represented the House of Nobles, being a direct descendant of two original members - Mataio Kekuanaoa and Kahekili.....and where were all the others claiming to be Kings/Queens/Premier, etc.......we who attended will remember....think all the tutus were shaking their heads at what was going on in the 2:30 PM meeting at the State Capitol which sits on OUR Family lands, belonged to Keoni Ana son of John Young....he was uncle then adopted brother of two (2) of my tutus Hueu Davis, and Peke Davis.........the occupiers owe rents and leases.....may the whole world know the truth...........if /when there's a next time to defend our alii kupuna, etc. please make the effort to come forward to speak out.....it would be lovely to see more defenders there! Malama Pono..............http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiRP3vUuT0w we are an ancient 3,000-5,000 year old society....show that you exist, show that you too care for our tutus, kupuna or send your prayers of love........aloha.

  • Amelia Gora hi Dwight...I like your take on the event....too bad it wasn't caught on tape/film....it was a pretty shocking time because Solomon's face was beet red, Galuteria was VERY LOUD! and I was distracted by my cell phone going off......glad the Asam's were there...and they have been assigned Protective Order's by us because the incidence occurred on our families properties - Keoni Ana/ John Young Jr. lands..... because a researcher in the past was arrested due to OHA/Office of Hawaiian Affairs and charged with terrorist threatening --has to do with Machado, et. als. and he spent time in prison....,placed in solitary confinement and is not the same.....he was a political prisoner and forced to live in solitary for a long time.....his name is Kealoha Kuhia/Glenn Kuhia and everyone should know what OHA Trustees, et. als. has done to a Kanaka Maoli who was dealt some injustice......and then there's Bumpy Kanahele who used to be aggressive....thrown into solitary in jail and he changed......not the same.....then there was Lorenzo calling himself Kamehameha VI who was transferred 18 times in one year from prison to prison after being charged over time and given a four (4) year sentence.....then there's Raymond Kamaka who was charged for tax evasion and thrown in prison....all political prisoners.....Kamaka was wrongfully charged for he is one of Kamehameha's descendants too..... do Royal Families pay taxes ? No......lots of issues....everyone in the World needs to know because we are truly surrounded by Pirates, scoundrels, thieves, deceptive people documented.....Genocide, human rights issues, etc. recorded.....the Permanent Treaty made in 1849 covers our families and was only brought up recently....so all Kamehameha descendants/heirs and the House of Nobles - original members descendants/heirs need to step up to the plate because whether you like it or not, What Is Is! once again, thanks for posting this version, this take on the meeting....but don't forget that we - Mike Lee, Kimo Saffery- Tripp, the Asams, and myself did give testimonies in defense of our alii kupuna, kupuna iwi which was also made with positive, non violent, from a neutral nation perspective....and I did state that I am part of the House of Nobles, part of the permanent part of the Hawaiian Government and recognizing that many governments are being formed such as OHA, etc. that has no basis and they are not related to us.....the Asams brought out and basically represented a lot of angry Hawaiians declaring their (Galuteria, Solomon, State of Hawaii) "Illegal Occupation" yelled very loud and clear......aloha.

    Introduction

    Kawaiaha‘o Church represents the movement from old to new Hawai‘i. With its founding came a hope and the fiber with which to build a Christian nation. Kawaiaha‘o stands as the first Christian church to be built on O‘ahu, and today is respected as the Mother Church of Hawai‘i, where God’s work continues and the Hawaiian culture and language is perpetuated.

    History

    Prior to the missionaries arriving in the islands, the flat plain just south of the village of Honolulu was a barren, windswept dust bowl - little more than a desert. However, in the midst of this sun-parched land there was an oasis, a spring whose waters were reserved exclusively for the land's high chiefs and chiefesses. One such noble who frequented this pool was the chiefess Ha‘o. Eventually these waters, and the surrounding land, came to be known as Ka Wai a Ha‘o-the freshwater pool of Ha‘o.
    In 1820, the first missionaries arrived in Hawai‘i, and found themselves well-accepted by royalty as well as the general populace. They were granted land at Kawaiaha‘o for the purpose of establishing their residence, and thatched houses were erected by local labor on orders of King Kamehameha III.
    Thatched with grass and lined with mats, the first sanctuary was erected in the native manner.Measuring 54 feet by 22 feet, the structure was designed to seat 300. As the congregation continued to grow, and in some cases as the result of fire or severe wind storms, three more thatched structures were erected to replace their predecessor. It was not until 1837 that the gathering of materials for the great stone house of worship begun.
    On July 31, 1838, the digging of the foundation was begun. It was no minuscule task, nor was it one lacking in support as many as a thousand people assembled on the grounds of Kawaiaha‘o to dig down to bed rock to ensure the best footing for their cathedral.
    The "Stone Church," as it came to be known, was in fact not built of stone; but of giant slabs of coral hewn from ocean reefs. These slabs were not easily accessible; and had to be quarried from under water and transported, each weighed more than 1,000 pounds. Natives dove 10 to 20 feet to hand-chisel these pieces from the reef, then raised them to the surface, loaded them into canoes, and ferried them to shore. The physically and spiritually strong hauled some 14,000 of the slabs to their final destination.
    Following five years of labor The Great Stone Church was ready for dedication ceremonies on July 21, 1842. The grounds of Kawaiaha‘o overflowed with 4,000 to 5,000 faithful worshippers. King Kamehameha III, who contributed generously to the fund, attended that service. It had taken the community five years from commencement to completion - two years less than it took Solomon to build his temple. The estimated cost was $30,000. Kawaiaha‘o Church has witnessed much history. Within its walls the kingdom's royalty prayed, sang hymns, were married, christened their children, and finally laid in state. On the grounds surrounding the church are buried a number of original missionaries. The 9/11 tragedy found many in prayer in the sanctuary.
    In 1900, when fire destroyed a great portion of the city, thousands left homeless found refuge at Kawaiaha‘o. On December 7, 1941, the faithful crowded into the church's basement in search of inspiration and safety. The historic occasion of statehood was marked by ceremonies within the sanctuary's walls.
    Kawaiaha‘o Church, is listed on the state and national registers of historic sites.

    The Sanctuary

    The tower clock, commonly referred to as the Kauikeaouli clock, in memory of King Kamehameha III, its donor, is of great historic significance. It was made by the Howard & Davis Clock Makers of Boston, Massachusetts. Kawaiaha'o Church SanctuaryMechanics arrived with the clock in 1850 and preparations were made for its installation - King Kamehameha III was selected to supervise the task. The clock, which tolls the hours, still operates on its original machinery, which four generations of the Mahoe-Mulford family have maintained. As you enter the sanctuary, you will see the royal pews, located to the right and left. Within these enclosures stand four kāhili(feather staffs), symbols of royal rank. Kings and queens of an era gone by sat in these pews.
    The Hofstot portraits of the Ali‘i (Hawaiian royalty) that hang on the walls of the upper level represent the rich history of Hawai‘i. It is the only collection by one artist in one location. They are numbered 1 to 21, beginning with Kamehameha the Great at the far end at the left as you face the altar. Kawaiaha‘o's pipe organ, the fifth the church has had in its long history, dated from 1964. It was designed and built by Aeolian-Skinner Company of Boston, builder of the finest organs in the United States. It has 52 different voices, or stops, three manuals, and 2,500 pipes. The largest pipe is 22 feet long and one foot in diameter. The smallest is the size of a pencil.
