Aloha everyone for this beautiful and proud song of being true to native Hawaiian traditions and culture !!!! I was born and raised here in Hawaii and love this place !!!! Thanks for giving me much joy, hope, and happiness !!!!! Me ke aloha pumehana, Robert S.J. Hu September 17, 2020.
Mahalo @jzathey. This song reminds us that our grandparents and great-grandparents of the past never wanted to be annexed, and if we look at the facts we see that we weren't even annexed. We are still a sovereign nation, but under illegal occupation. And in the Hawaiian Kingdom, everybody was welcome!
Mahalo nui loa e me ke aloha pumehana to all the islanders. Though I am haole I do not identify as such, instead I sympathize with the maoli kanakas in so many ways. I must have had at least one lifetime in the Islands. When our family moved there in 1954 at the age of 11 I felt as if I were coming home. Such is the great power of the Aloha spirit. that it would bring me back to mt former home......Ku'u home o Hawai'i nei .......
Greetings to my Austronesian cousins on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I may not understand the language but each time I listen to this song, my heart hurts.
What's not to love? It makes this haoli mad as hell that this was done, first to the American Indians and then to the Mexicans and Hawaiians came next. Then the Philippines, Cuba, PuertoRico. Hawaii is Sovereign and always will be. A sweet melody with lyrics that can melt the skin off an enemy. Hawaii is an occupied nation and Red Hill should point that out pretty clearly. Look who is living in tents at the beaches. GRRR.

I have no indigenous blood (I am Chinese/Japanese), but I (and all other residents of Hawaiʻi) feel the same crushing weight of US occupation in my daily life. I cannot stand idly by while my home is bleeding.
I love the song,it's got a beautiful story behind it, I get very emotional listi g to it,thinking of all the Kings and queen and thir people. Whatever happened, God got this.
If that's the case, please remove that symbol of global terror from your picture. Also, please don't despair, we Macedonians, who are also occupied by the US Empire, are with you as are other peoples throughout the world. God bless. #NeverNorthOnlyMacedonia
This song must be made compulsory and sung at every school assembly to remind the young people and future generation of the injustice on the Hawaiian people by the USA government. A protest song forever

I think the description is better reflected in saying the song is written in protest against the USA... the tone of the music is far from one of "anger".
Mahalo nui iā ʻoe no kou manaʻo ponoʻī, thanks for your opinion. And I agree, the current tone of the mele is far from an angry one. However, before it was put to such a melody, it was a hula kuʻi. It sounded like a haka. And in Hawaiian mele, it isn't really the melody that sets the tone, but the ʻōlelo and kaona behind it. Nevertheless, mahalo nui for the comment. It really is valuable.
Sudden Rush uses an appropriate tone for the evolution of contemporary "protest" songs; and Kale Gumapac had a good presentation on this issue too...while he performed a rendition of how it was initially created..to be sung. ...facebook.com/BigIslandVideoNews/videos/1501438333228116/
the kanaka maoli movement should join AIM, they both fight for the native rights, but Kanaka maoli goes farther than AIM, but I pledge my alliegence to the Kingdom of Hawaii until I die, and an enemy of Hawaii is an enemy of I!

Every time I hear hawwian music I think of my grandparents & my mom she was born in the islands in 1930 may my mom be with god

I do not understand the words, but it is food for my Soul!!!! When I want some peace I listen to this song!! Mahalo Nui Loa!!
Famous are the children of Hawai`i
Ever loyal to the land
When the evil-hearted messenger comes
With his greedy document of extortion
Hawai`i, land of Keawe answers
Pi`ilani's bays help
Mano's Kaua`i lends support
And so do the sands of Kakuhihewa
No one will fix a signature
To the paper of the enemy
With its sin of annexation
And sale of native civil rights
We do not value
The government's sums of money
We are satisfied with the stones
Astonishing food of the land
We back Lili`ulani
Who has won the rights of the land
*(She will be crowned again)
Tell the story
Of the people who love their land
Kaulana nâ pua a`o Hawai`i
Kûpa`a ma hope o ka `âina
Hiki mai ka `elele o ka loko `ino
Palapala `ânunu me ka pâkaha
Pane mai Hawai`i moku o Keawe
Kôkua nâ Hono a`o Pi`ilani
Kâko`o mai Kaua`i o Mano
Pa`apû me ke one Kâkuhihewa
`A`ole a`e kau i ka pûlima
Ma luna o ka pepa o ka `ênemi
Ho`ohui `âina kû`ai hewa
I ka pono sivila a`o ke kanaka
`A`ole mâkou a`e minamina
I ka pu`u kâlâ o ke aupuni
Ua lawa mâkou i ka pôhaku
I ka `ai kamaha`o o ka `âina
Ma hope mâkou o Lili`ulani
A loa`a ê ka pono o ka `âina
*(A kau hou `ia e ke kalaunu)
Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana
Ka po`e i aloha i ka `âina

I was trying to learn the lyrics from this beautiful doing if resistance, but now they're gone.
the kanaka maoli movement should join AIM, they both fight for the native rights, but Kanaka maoli goes farther than AIM, but I pledge my alliegence to the Kingdom of Hawaii until I die, and an enemy of Hawaii is an enemy of I!
