ʻO kou aloha, ʻo kā kākou aloha nō ia.

Aloha for Lahaina means aloha for us all.

As Lahaina calls for restoration of water, so too shall we.

As Lahaina calls for restoration of ‘āina, so too shall we.

As Lahaina calls for restoration of dignity, grief and compassion, so too shall we.

We take Lahaina’s lead. We stand with them, ready to follow.

Our Kia’i Wai reconfirming to Capt Jeff Miller, US Navy, who oversees the defueling process for Red Hill at Pacific Fleet Command that we, the kia’i, are the ones watching them, as they poison our aquifer with no regard for human life or safety.

We’re not going anywhere until Red Hill is defueled, decommissioned & deoccupied- followed by the closure & return of Mākua Valley, Bellows, Pōhakloa, all 2029 expiring military leases & beyond.

We’ll be standing right here, at the front gates of your military installations until all of our stolen lands are liberated & returned back to the Kanaka Maoli. You don’t have to keep an eye out- look out your front window.

We walk a pono path. We are the descendants of this ‘āina. This is our Kuleana.

We here at your door step, evicting you. There’s petroleum in our aquifer, there is no way back- but for the deoccupation & liberation of our nation.
