Security High At ‘Iolani Palace Event
Native Hawaiian sovereignty groups gather peacefully
By Suzanne Roig
Advertiser Staff Writer
Native Hawaiian groups tested the state’s new rules governing ‘Iolani
Palace yesterday during their annual Sovereign Sunday event.
No one was cited and no one was arrested, but more than 20 state
Department of Land and Natural Resources enforcement officers were on hand
to ensure that a group of Hawaiians followed the rules.
The officers stood in a cluster while a variety of Hawaiian groups
occupied the Diamond Head makai corner of the palace near the Pohukaina
burial mound. Most were there to honor their culture and recognize the
start of the January 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy.
One of the groups, Sacred Times and Sacred Places, comes to ‘Iolani Palace
each month to care for the burial mound.
Officials removed three canopy tents erected by the groups, but did not
touch the Hawaiian flags, information displays or chairs or tables that
had been erected.
“We tried to be culturally sensitive, but we have our jobs to do,” said
Guy Chink, a DLNR O’ahu Branch manager who led the enforcement team. “We
will issue a citation to the owner of the tents and if no one claims
ownership then the tents are considered found property.”
No one claimed the tents, and no citations were issued. But there was a
lot of tension.
“In the past 11 years no one in that time has stopped us,” said Baron
Chink, a member of the Sacred Times and Sacred Places organization. “We do
the work here, not DLNR. As far as I’m concerned we are the authorized
ones to enter, not the DLNR. We are not the interlopers here.”
The new rules were adopted after two takeover attempts were made last year
by two separate groups. One takeover occurred in April and a second, in
which the group entered the palace and the ‘Iolani Barracks building, led
to arrests in August. Both spurred the state Land Board to pass new rules
governing the 11-acre grounds. The rules bar unauthorized occupation of
the palace.
The rules also spell out other prohibited activities on the palace
grounds, including harassing palace workers or visitors and interfering
with the public’s use of the premises.
Under the new rules, no more than 25 people are allowed to gather, no
banners larger than a specific size can be erected and no tents are
allowed on the grounds without permits. Overnight camping also is not
allowed.
The officers were on hand yesterday because of concern that there would be
a large demonstration on the palace ground, said Kippen de Alba Chu,
Friends of ‘Iolani Palace director.
“They did this earlier last week too for another sovereignty group who
wanted to camp there the whole week,” de Alba Chu said. “They are trying
to be consistent with each group and they are there there to make sure the
rules are adhered to.”
“This is still our place,” said Lynette Cruz, a Hawaiian independence
supporter. “Our job today is to remember who we are. We are not here to
take over the palace, but to honor our heritage.”

Marine Debris B-roll from NW Hawaiian Islands
Hi-resolution video also available for download at http://marinedebris.noaa.gov/projects/himdap.html
NOAA and several partners in Hawaii announced a comprehensive long-term plan to actively assess and remove plastics, derelict fishing gear, and other human sources of marine debris from coastal waters and coral reefs along the island chain. The plan, a first of its kind for the nation, will be instrumental in protecting the states coastal communities and marine life from the thousands of pounds of marine debris that wash ashore each year.

HEWA of DLNR pt2.
for those of you interested in following kahumoku flores’ case re the infamous canopy, now referred to as the ‘confiscated tent’, here are photos of our protest today against DLNR for being the long arm of enforcement of the U.S. occupation of Hawaii through it’s local (short) arm, so-called state of hawaii, via dept. of land and natural resources’ docare. it’s early in the year, but definitey no dull moments. DLNR removed the tent, same one we always put up to cover the food or the queen’s display whenever there’s a significant occasion, like her birthday or her death day, or on sovereign sunday. we don’t aim for 365 days a year, perhaps 5 days at most. we always have food. we try to cover the food with a canopy (seems like a reasonable precaution). when the queen’s display is there, we try to make sure it’s covered–it’s a respect thing, nothing more nor less. since hawaiians are the only ones doing this, and the only ones being cited, it sure as looks like it’s hawaiians who are being targeted. but hey, if not at the palace, where else should we be? and if every person in town, including school groups and wedding parties, and tourists from every place in the world, are welcome on the palace grounds, how the heck did we become the target? so Kahumoku’s canopy was confiscated once, early in 2009, and then returned. then it was confiscated again, on the queen’s birthday commemoration, also at the ahu on the palace grounds, and he was ticketed. he was charged with something called “to be determined”. he went to court two weeks ago and the charge was changed to “camping without a permit”.
here’s a report from someone ‘on the scene’ in the courthouse, where kahumoku was ordered to be at 8:30 this morning.
Uncle George’s case was dismissed in court, though without prejudice — meaning that DLNR can charge him with the same thing again. It’s kind of outrageous; this should have been the last continuance for the State, but the prosecutor pushed it. The judge also allowed the State to amend the “violation” yet again. So he has been charged with THREE different things at this point (the first having been “to be determined” – remember?).
The judge did order that the tent be returned (though it took kind of a lot of reminding), but the prosecutor fought this one, too. The end result was that they gave DLNR 45 day window — to take a picture of the tent! So I am recommending that Uncle George write them a letter stating that he wants it back this week, and then we go get it. Hopefully, this gives them a chance to be reasonable.

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 2003: Monk Seal at 1781 feet
Scientists completed a 64-day cruise to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, onboard the University of Hawaii’s Research Vessel, Ka’imikai-o-Kanaloa, and the Pisces IV and V Submersibles. They studied the regions virtually unexplored deep-sea corals, submarine canyons, and seamounts. One objective was to learn how endangered Hawaiian monk seals use shallow and deep-water habitats for hunting and protection. When scientists dove to a deep-sea coral bed, they were shocked to see an endangered Hawaiian monk seal at an amazing depth of 543 meters (1781 feet).
It’s the first time a monk seal was documented as associated with deep-sea precious corals, and the first time a monk seal was observed at such a depth, where he showed no sign of stress. Please visit source: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/03nwhi/media/monkseal_video.html
