Pride of Hawaii on its way
Associated Press
The Pride of Hawaii, the largest and most expensive
U.S.-flagged passenger ship ever built, is scheduled to leave California
today for its new home in the islands.
The 2,400-passenger cruise ship was christened Saturday
in Los Angeles by U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye and is expected to arrive on Kauai
on Sunday. It will stop in Hilo on May 30, Kahului the next day and Kona on
June 2 before arriving at its Honolulu homeport June 3.
The 965-foot vessel is the third in a series of U.S.-flagged
cruise ships sailing under the NCL America brand for the rapidly growing interisland
market. It joins the Pride of Aloha and Pride of America in NCL's fleet.
Colin Veitch, president and chief executive of Norwegian
Cruise Line, said Inouye is "the father of this project and its most
steadfast supporter."
The Pride of Hawaii and Pride of America are from the
"Project America" program that Norwegian purchased after the U.S. cruise
ship company American Classic Voyages declared bankruptcy in 2001.
Inouye pushed legislation in the 2003 federal appropriations
bill allowing Norwegian to sail the two ships under a U.S. flag with an American
crew. It also allowed the cruise line to reflag the Norwegian Sky, now the
Pride of Aloha.
The provision exempts Norwegian's ships from federal
law that prohibits foreign-built ships from operating between U.S. ports.
It also requires the cruise line to employ American crews and abide by all
U.S. laws.
"I have always believed in the potential of Hawaii
as a major cruise destination, and I am very pleased that, thanks to NCL,
at last this has happened," Inouye said.
The Pride of Hawaii will officially enter seven-day
interisland service June 5. The ship weighs 93,500 tons and cost more than
$500 million to build.

PATTAYA, Thailand — The Miss Tiffany’s Universe pageant contestants were
perfectly made up, coifed and draped in glamorous gowns, convincingly masking
their hidden truth — that they were all born boys.
Through extensive plastic surgery and hormone popping, Thai men are expert
at transforming themselves into transsexuals with long, lithe limbs, silky
skin and supreme femininity. Thirty transsexuals selected from 60 entrants
from around Thailand competed in the annual Miss Tiffany’s Universe pageant,
broadcast live nationwide on May 19.

Nature’s Spiritual Force
Dr. Claire Ku’uleilani Hughes
Ka Wai Ola OHA
Our Hawaiian ancestors believed that all things possess mana -the life force
that represents the spiritual nature of our universe. Hawaiians were
surrounded by the kinolau (body forms) of the Gods in plant, tree, rock ocean
and animal forms. They knew that assistance and strength from the Gods
were always near. Great respect and reverence were shown for all beings and
things because of their mana.
In contrast, today many think that man can control nature and make it work
for him. Some are blasé and thoughtless about the ancestral
knowledge –that is until the Gods make their presence known. The recent
heavy rains, wind, lightning and resounding thunder gave many pause to reflect
on the mana embodied in these forces of nature as well as to wonder about
the message they conveyed.
The god Lono is known as ‘the thunderer’, and the word lono means ‘resounding’.
The mana of Lono is embodied in heavy rain, thunder and lightning.
Some rain clouds are kinolau of Lono as is the sweet potato, a staple food
for Hawaiians. During the Makahiki season, food and other products
of the land were offered to Lono in gratitude for his blessings on the land
and crops.
Kane is the god of procreation, embodying the values relating to perpetuation
of human life. Mary Kawena Puku’i explains that Kane is known as Ka(ne)onohiakala
(the eyeball of the sun) and Ka(ne)waiola (the water of life) thus encompassing
the mana of sunlight and of fresh water in rain or streams, which are life
giving and healing. Kane is in lightning as Kanehekili or Kanewawahilani
the splitter of the sky. Kane is also embodied in the whirlwind and
other winds, great and small, as well as in the peaceful breeze. His
mana is in the rainbow, in many types of clouds, in the outpouring of water
from the mountain or precipice.
For the planter, ka wai ola a Kane the fresh, life giving water of Kane irrigates
and delivers the life giving mana to crops. Some other kinolau of Kane
are erect stones that are either set or naturally placed, and also some sea
corals, bamboo and foods such as poi, popolo, kalo and ‘awa.
The recent heavy rains have resulted in renewed respect for the forces of
nature. Man was powerless to stop or even control the torrents of rain
that fell in Hawai’i in February and March. The resounding thunder
and flashing lightning were spectacular. Even those with a scientific
understanding of the phenomenon were awestruck by the display of great mana.
Rainwater washed rocks and mud down hillsides as trees fell. Street
surfaces created rushing streams of rainwater that swept through yards and
flooded lowlands an roadways, slowing or even stopping traffic.
The storms brought renewed respect for the spiritual essence embodied in
the rain, wind, clouds, thunder and lightning that hovered over the seas
and covered the blue skies. And after the storms, there is renewed
appreciation for the beautiful sunlight and it’s mana, and the refreshing
breezes of the trade winds.
<> The Healing Our Spirit Worldwide (HOSW)
movement began as one person's
vision to create an international forum and movement focused on the
alcohol and drug abuse issues and programs in Indigenous communities
throughout the global community
The 2006 Gathering is
being planned as a celebration of the health and
healing of Indigenous Peoples around the world. The gathering will be a
testament of the resiliency, courage, tenacity and the will of
Indigenous Peoples everywhere to overcome the barriers to achieving
self-determination in health and in healing.
Strengthening the family,
the community, the nation and the world are
the themes of HOSW, and presentations and sessions at The Fifth
Gathering will focus on the cycle of life - from child to youth to
adult to Elder. The Fifth Gathering will provide venues for the sharing
of programs, cultures, stories, songs, dances and wisdom. Participants
will celebrate program successes, seek to determine best practices, and
examine innovations, research and initiatives for health, healing and
addictions programming.
We invite you to join
us in this important event, which will be held in
the beautiful city of Edmonton Alberta, Canada from August 6th to August
11, 2006. Meanwhile, enjoy your visit to this conference web site, where
you will find information about HOSW, about past HOSW conferences, about
the upcoming fifth HOSW conferences in 2006, and about how to register
to attend the conference on-line! Features and content will be modified
and added as the Gathering draws near. Therefore, please come back
and
visit often!

Faikava
Many ancient traditions continue throughout the Pacific relatively
unchanged from there early days.
The Kava plant
is one of the strongest symbols of this Polynesian shared identity.
The roots of the plant are ground and mixed with water to form the drink
that is known as Kava, ‘Awa, ‘Ava, or Yaqona. Many Pacific cultures
share similar stories and chants that stem from the birth of the plant,
to its ceremonial place in society, as well as its social function of bringing
organization and harmony to its people.
In Tonga, the kava has become a national symbol unity. A formal kava
ceremony is always invoked during a fakanofo - the cultural bestowment of
a title; the marriage of one ha‘a (lineage) to another; or uiaki fono -
the settling of disputes between different families. The kava ritual
in its informal practice is known as faikava. The tradition of faikava
has become a strong mainstay in Tongan communities back home and abroad.
When a child is born, a faikava is held to honor the newborn and it’s family.
When a young man decides to take a bride, a faikava is called as a means
of cultural courtship between the bride and groom. When a family member
passes away, the men of the family will get together and hold a faikava
to raise money and make the necessary delegation of responsibilities for
each family member. This practice keeps Tongans bound to their culture
and traditional roles in this modern world. Many faikava clubs have
formed in which groups meet together to drink kava, play music and compose
songs, discuss the welfare of their community, raise money for functions
and families in need, and most importantly, to socialize.
UTOPIA Hawai‘i continues this traditional practice by holding its
own faikava circle for our mahu, fakaleiti, and fa’afafine community.
The circle brings brothers and sisters together for the same reasons as
Tongan faikava circles. Through the drinking of kava, the group creates
a shared feeling of interconnectedness through song and music, laughter,
conversation, and sharing. The faikava circle restores the cultural
bind that many Pacific Islanders feel towards one another and helps ground
many individuals to their roots.

Hey y'all,
I've added my pictures from
Tulsa to the website. We have a total of 36 different pictures from
the gathering complete with descriptions. I wasn't able to identify
everyone in the pictures and I didn't always know someone's tribe, so on
some of them, that information isn't included. If you find one where
you can identify/clarify/correct the description please do let me know (since
I was working on it all night, I was pretty delirious when I wrote the descriptions
so mistakes are likely). Just tell me what the photo's title is and
what the description should read. <>
Honolulu June 4th
So the Akaka bill is once again currently
in legislation and i ask you all to please help oppose it for these simple
reasons....
-The Akaka bill really doesnt care about the Hawaiian people.
-Hawaiians are not indigenous people of the United States, we are people
of Hawaii.
-What the bill is really trying to do is cover up their mistakes and make
it appear as if we have came to an agreement/understanding, when really
all they want to do is demolish and silence us of our heritage, culture,
and dignity.
-We need to remember our recognition, not become recognized, we already
know who we are, we are Hawaiians.
-The bill is merely sweeping us Hawaiians under the carpet and working along
side with some of the organizations that are suppose to be on our side,
helping and fighting with us, not against us. For starters, OHA....Kau Inoa
for example, which if I may add, is a branch off of OHA. Now, do you really
think they are helping our people? What if I were to say that it was a trick,
would you question me? But why, did you question the Kau Inoa people when
you signed up or did you just do it because everyone else was, or maybe
you wanted one of those cool shirts yea? Eh, no lie, I signed up cause of
the shirt, but now that I'm getting a better and understanding of the whole
thing, I've decided that it's best for me if I remove my name.
-Think of it this way, our kupuna fought for us and that is why we still
have many rights that we do today, so, why not fight as our kupunas did
for the generations to come?
-The Akaka bill clearly contradicts the United States Constitution as well
as, violating many of its own laws, therefore, if this bill does pass it
could totally wipe out our people as a whole, the mere existance of even
being Hawaiian, may be no more.
-The bill is seen to many as another form of annexation only a more up to
date and legal one this time.
and last, but not least....
-If being federally recognized is such a good thing then why are the American
Indians so unhappy with what they have recieved from it? I'll tell you why....because
they really didn't receive shiet
So, now i ask, what does this all tell you? Do you seriously think that
this is something good for our Hawaiian people? I mean just because it's
presented good, doesn't mean it is or will be something good cause obviously
it's not, am I right? Remember, don't just judge a book by it's cover....ask
questions, do research, talk about it, etc, etc. Look, if this was such
a good thing for our Hawaiian people, why the hell they godda keep revising
the dam bill and bringing it back into congress? Something's obviously wrong
my braddahs and sistahs and I'll tell you this much....it's almost fawkin
garenz that if this bill gets passed, we're all fawkin screwed, so, PLEASE
OPPOSE THE AKAKA BILL!
Thank You and Aloha,
Jos

Life Foundation Retreat 2006
It's the bomb, honey! The United
Territories of Polynesian Islanders Alliance (U.TO.P.I.A.) was started in
San Francisco in 1998 to support the Polynesian gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender community. Their goal was to bring us Pacific Islanders together
in a more formal social setting in order to ease the isolation that many
of us faced in accepting our sexuality, yet remaining really close to our
culture and families.
It wasn't until late 1999 that
we began our own chapter here on O'ahu with the help of Life Foundation
and the G.L.C.C. for the same purpose. With the help of the Life Foundation,
we are trying to address the current trend of rising HIV infections in our
Pacific Islander community, as well as supporting those who have already
been affected by the disease (there are over 200 of our Asian / Pacific
Islander HIV+ brothers and sisters at L.F.)
U.T.O.P.I.A. Hawai‘i also specializes
in holding events. Activities that we have put on include:
Faikava - a Tongan
gathering in bringing friends and family together around kava. It's a
casual event with kani kapila so bring your voice, guitar or 'ukulele.
It's our signature event!
Movie Nites - once in awhile there are movies that
directly address gay Polynesian issues, but we also like to attend films
that carry Pacific Islander themes.
HIV Workshops -
get the latest news and info on staying healthy in the 2000's, including
live condom demos from hot local boyz, and Sistah Maddie's counseling
techniques 101!
Karaoke Nights - come party with us and sing the
night away in a safe & supportive atmosphere.
Other events include lu‘au’s, the Waterpark, karaoke, etc.!
You can also join 'Aha UTOPIA!
The 'Aha is the planning committee which meets monthly to set our future
events and makes the decisions for the group. But it's more than your typical
neighborhood board meeting…grinds like you wouldn't believe! Come check
it out!
CONGRATS to Kittie Madison,
Ms. Le Femme Magnifique PLUS, and Lady Jhyanne, Ms. Le Femme Magnifique HAWAII!!!
CONGRATS also to Nicky Hilton and Vivica K. for 1st Runner Ups!!!
You all did so well and deserve those crowns. Serve it to them mainlanders.
Show them what Hawaii has to offer!!!

Hula Girl Productions,
a
Glade Project Update
.......The main themes of The Glades Project
center around the basic civil rights of an oppressed and under represented
Asian / Pacific Islander-Hawaiian group of people. Oppression on any level
creates unnecessary suffering for everyone, not just those in the target
group. This documentary will show how scores of people in the Hawai`i community
struggled during the 1960s, 70s and 80s and how they managed to emerge and
survive. This film will also act as a vehicle for healing by allowing the
men and women of the past to express their personal hidden truths, many for
the very first time.
Glade Project.doc Night at the Glade
The Glades Project
The Glades Project began with prompting from elders within the community to look into an
era of Honolulu’s diverse history
where no comprehensive research
work has ever been done before.
The Glade Show Club, located at 152 N.Hotel Street and operating from the 1960s -70s-80's, served as a gathering place for Mahus/transgendered community. The Glades Project
is an ongoing research
of The Glade Show Club and the people
who frequented it, performer and
patron alike, and will result in a documentary film, including the creation of many historical
archival research resources.
Living histories are being recorded
through extensive interviews. Hula
Girl Productions has finished a cross country trip this summer taking them through
New York, Chicago, Southern
California and Las Vegas speaking
with people connected to The Glades,
entertainers and patrons, all people familiar with Old Chinatown during the 60s and 70s. and 80's.
There
is a need for photographs, commemorative items, printed materials such as original newspaper articles, wardrobe from the
shows, and film of The
Glade Show Club and performances,
along with Old Chinatown. Your kokua
is greatly appreciated in this unparalleled endeavor.
The Glades Project team can
be contacted by email at info@TheGladesProject.com,
