"After hearing the Kahea at all of the Halawai Aloha ‘Aina events we helped organize and the echoing refrain on the Protest Na’i Aupuni site, we are responding with an ‘Aha Aloha ‘Aina in 2016.The HUMBLE GOALS are to
1) Reaffirm our Independence
2) Resist and oppose Na`i Aupuni’s claims to be the representative voice of our people
3) Reject the current DOI endeavor to Federally Recognize na Kanaka Maoli as a Native Hawaiian Tribe
4) Unite our people and reveal the many different ways that our people have been building and rebuilding our Nation over the past several hundred years up to the present."
