In solidarity and support of Ka’ohewai and HULI and all standing in PONO actions for the mauna, ‘aina, Kai and the wai grounded in the ceremonial ways of our people! Repost from @protectmaunakea

“Kaʻohewai is standing firm, demanding that the military immediately remove its 20 fuel tanks and remediate the damage they caused,” says Andre Perez, a leader of Kaʻohewai and the Organizer of HULI, the Hawaiʻi Unity and Liberation Institute. “This morning Kaʻohewai is building and dedicating a koʻa at the doorstep of the Pacific Central Fleet Command. It’s a ceremonial place where our lāhui, and others who support the long-term vitality of Hawaiʻi’s waters, can call upon our akua (gods), ‘aumākua (ancestral gods), and kūpuna (ancestors) to help restore life and full health back to Kapūkaki. It is also a place where we can dedicate ourselves to do the same,” added Perez.

Kaʻohewai—a coalition of Hawaiian organizations rising in defense of Kapūkaki (Red Hill, O‘ahu) and dedicated to nurturing and sustaining the well-being of our water, land, and the life they support—is building and dedicating a koʻa at the doorstep of the Pacific Central Fleet Command.
