Hi Kuio, I have a question about the process of the reinstatement of a nation, as suggested in your doctoral dissertation. Hasn’t that been adequately done by the careful legislative reformation of the Reinstated Kingdom of Hawaii folks led by Henry Noa? It appears to meet every one of your steps (except mass acceptance) as outlined in your dissertation. Please review their process and determine if we are not further along the road to Hawaiian national reemergence than you thought. Jace

Aloha Jace,
You bring up a very good point. In Chapters 15 and 17 I address it, particularly with regards to the Reinstated Kingdom of Hawai‘i.
I hope that helps.
Mahalo,
Kuhio

Aloha Kuhio,
Do you have any photos of the 2009 HSLP symposium that you could share with me for my power point photo essay? I just need about 3 or 4 strategic ones that give an idea of the symposium at a glance to add to my collection. In Jpg format would be ideal sent me by email.
My theme is “We Want Our Country Back!” Mahalo nui, Keahi.

Aloha Keahi,
I don’t have any photos. Nut Donovan might. I didn’t even have a camera that day.

I saw a reference to your work at a Latvian site, but do not seem to be able to download your paper. I write a blog at http://esoschronicles.blogspot.com/ on the situation in Latvia today.

You present the topics very clearly and thoroughly while keeping the conversation interesting and lively. Mahalo nui for the dedication and taking up this medium of television and internet.
Peace,
