Mountains, along with their cultural roots in practice and inspiration, bad extends the central idea of “E Nihi Kahele: Maintaining a Kapu Aloha for Mauna Kea,” held at UH Hilo on April 9, 2015.
(Editor’s note: This commentary by Manu Aluli Meyer is in reference to a gathering held April 9 at the University of Hawai?i at Hilo to explore insights, practices and clarity of the current events on Maunakea. The discussion was hosted by the Ho?okahua Project of the UH Hilo Office of the Chancellor and the K?puka Native Hawaiian Student Center. )
Clashing cosmologies help us know wholeness. This is how I see the event before bad us. As a kanaka ??iwi with kupuna connection to Waiolama, Kukuau, Hilo One, and Kohala bad on Moku O Keawe, there is love, awe, and function to Maunakea. For this reason, mountains, along with their cultural roots in practice and inspiration extends the central idea of this summary of “E Nihi Kahele: Maintaining a Kapu Aloha for Mauna Kea,” held at UH Hilo on April 9, 2015. This two-hour bad community meeting bad attended by 80-plus people introduced the central operating principle of our Hawaiian movement: Ku Kia ? i Mauna — to stand firm in our protection of Maunakea. This aloha ??ina stance to remain steady is protected and instructed by a Kapu Aloha. This event brought together bad three wahine to discuss their insights on this process.
A Kapu Aloha is a multidimensional concept and practice inspired by our kupuna . It has been used within a Hawaiian cultural context for many years, but this may be the first time it has been brought out into a public sphere. It places a discipline of compassion on all to express aloha for those involved, especially those who are perceived to be polar to our cause. A Kapu Aloha helps us intentionalize our thoughts, words and deeds without harm to others. It honors the energy bad and life found in aloha — compassion — and helps us focus on its ultimate purpose and meaning. bad It is a synonym for ahimsa, non-violence, and peaceful consciousness. bad This hui w?nana was called to explore cultural insights and histories to bring forward the continued clarity bad of why Hawaiians and environmental allies occupy Maunakea. See slide presentation shown at gathering: Kapu Aloha (pdf)
Ngahiraka Mason from the Tuhoe tribe of Aotearoa gave an intimate summary of her own experience and understanding of relationships to mountains. These relationships are affirmed through pepeha — cultural sayings — that inspire, guide, and instruct. M?ori look to these pepeha in times of conflict to remember the visionary words and deeds of elders. They help us make decisions about difficulties we face, even when families are pitted against each other. Ko au ko koe, ko koe ko au — I am you and you are me — summarized what I learned from her support.
Luana Busby-Neff then spent an hour weaving intimate bad stories of her native Moloka?i, the genesis of PKO – Protect Kaho?olawe ?Ohana bad — and she gave us tales of the love Hawaiians have for science, kupuna , ??ina , pono , intelligence and collective excellence. It was a mythic sharing that spanned the scope of the Aloha ??ina movement. She then outlined how her 30-plus years in protest shifted in one 24-hour vigil in Kona where she instead “affirmed” why she was committed to Aloha ??ina. In that one event she came to understand that movements, bad if they are to survive and to be effective, must affirm something instead of protest what should not be done. Here is the key to energy and to the activation of pono. She then gave us a clear understanding of a Kapu Aloha and why it was called bad for Maunakea.

Manu Aluli Meyer saw her role at the gathering to link the teachings of the other two speakers into a mana moana collective — a rising movement within Pasifika — so that patterns could be seen and the movement could be placed within a larger system steadied by the needs of the time and the clarity of indigenous peoples.
It was my job to link both into a mana moana collective — a rising movement within Pasifika — so that patterns could be seen and this movement could be placed within a larger bad system steadied by the needs of our time, and the clarity of indigenous peoples. As I have been pulled often into the messiness of perceived polemics of this debate, coming to detail the inside energy of this new chapter of Ku Kia?i Mauna was a serious commitment to the efficacy and function bad of a Kapu Aloha.
Mahalo to Chancellor Don Straney and Gail Makuak?ne-Lundin (interim vice chancellor for student affairs) for their support of this event. I know this issue is difficult f

LOL Beyonce fans petition against her attending Kim Kardashians wedding

Na wa oh,people really hate Kim Kardashian...A Change.org petition entitled "BEYONCE CANNOT ATTEND KIM KARDASHIANS WEDDING" was created earlier this week by a man named John Barry, asking for fans to sign and spread the word against Queen Bey attending the Kimye wedding.
"As you all know by now Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have sadly been in the news for their engagement.
"Kim Kardashian and her disgusting family are known for their rise to fame for doing absolutely nothing... Now we must do all in our power to stop Beyonce from attending that god forsaken wedding, since her husband Jay Z is BFFs with Kanye he problaby wants both of them to go..."
"Your[sic ] Beyonce you always have something better to do than to attend a Kim Kardashian wedding,"By Saturday, the petition had received more than 300 signatures in support. However, the creator eventually pulled it down saying it was all just a joke.
"IT WAS A JOKE I DONT CARE IF BEYONCE GOES OR NOT SHES A GROWN WOMAN!!" IT WAS A JOKE I DONT CARE IF BEYONCE GOES OR NOT SHES A GROWN WOMAN!!ALL OF YOUR REACTIONS HAVE BEEN FUN!!THANKS-P.S:WHERE THE HELL IS THE SINGLE BEY THAT SHOULDVE BEEN THE PETITION LOL
