On my July 2012 Deathbed, I regretted not spending more time with my sons, and spending way too much time at work, seemingly thinking that I needed to give everything I could for the L ā hui, even at personal expense. After 20 years...I have learned to balance my Life now. I put family first. I am making up for lost time as well with my sons having missed much of their childhood for the sake of my work kuleana. I am Blessed beyond belief to have a second chance, otherwise I would have been an unhappy wandering Spirit who refused to Ascend. It makes perfect sense however. Without a strong family...you may as well forget about L ā hui. Hawai'i has many Patriots. My sons only have one Father...

We gather to honor the strength, skill, intelligence, and bravery of Nā Kupaʻāina o Hawaiʻi who played a role in this pivotal moment of history. It is said that this was the last major political action purely determined by Hawaiians toward forging their future. We gather to keep our history alive in our minds and naʻau and to perpetuate our culture. We would like to invite you to participate with us for the annual ceremonies honoring the Battle of Nu`uanu and the men and women that participated. As the sun rises over the Pali on Saturday, April 26 traditional oli will be heard marking the 219th year since t
