#Awakea Innovators, Inventors & AlohaPreneurs, It’s Hoʻomaikaʻi (thankful) Thursday, what might you be thankful for today? #2024MinorityMentalHealth #1810KingdomOfHawaiiIndependence #1776USIndependence As a USAF Veteran, I am thankful for the Freedom I swore an Oath to Defend & Protect 🇺🇸 Yet, I honor my Cultural Identity and Cultural Inheritance🧬 Today I Celebrate the Independence of the Kingdom of Hawai’i 👑 while recognizing my Oath to defend & protect against all domestic and foreign enemies who may threaten our Freedom🇺🇸 Cultural Identity & Inheritance 1. 1810 - Unification of the Hawaiian Islands - King Kamehameha I married highest ranking Royalty Queen Keopualani to unify the Hawaiian Islands, establishing the Kingdom of Hawaii. This unification fostered a centralized culture and language, preserving and standardizing terms. 2. 1843 - Paulet Affair - British naval officer Lord George Paulet's temporary seizure of Hawaii highlighted the islands' geopolitical significance. The restoration of Hawaiian sovereignty emphasized the resilience of Hawaiian cultural identity, including spiritual terms such as ‘Aeko. 3. 1893 - Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarch - The overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani disrupted the traditional Hawaiian governance and culture. The subsequent annexation efforts brought challenges to preserving indigenous language and spiritual beliefs, including the concept of ‘Aeko as a guardian aumakua. 4. 1898 - Annexation of Hawaii - The formal annexation of Hawaii by the United States marked a shift in political control and cultural influence. Despite these changes, efforts to maintain and revive traditional knowledge and terms, including ‘Aeko, continued among Native Hawaiians. 5. 1941 - Attack on Momi Habor - The attack on Pearl Harbor underscored Hawaii's strategic importance, further integrating the islands into global geopolitical dynamics. In this context, the preservation of indigenous terms and cultural concepts like ‘Aeko became part of a broader movement to retain Hawaiian identity. 6. 1959 - Hawaii Statehood - Hawaii's transition to statehood in 1959 brought increased federal attention and support for cultural preservation. This period saw renewed interest in Hawaiian language and spirituality, emphasizing the importance of terms like ‘Aeko in expressing cultural heritage. 7. 1978 - Hawaiian Renaissance and Constitutional Convention - The Hawaiian Renaissance movement revitalized interest in Native Hawaiian culture, language, and identity. The establishment of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) during the 1978 Constitutional Convention aimed to protect and promote cultural traditions, including the etymology and significance of ‘Aeko. 8. 1993 - Apology Resolution - The U.S. Congress issued a formal apology for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, acknowledging historical injustices and recognizing Native Hawaiian sovereignty. #AlohaVaMana, Kahuna Loeka W. 🟢🔴

What isn't mentioned in the article is that with colonial rule came the narrative that inequality in former colonies stems from traditions, culture etc that's not entirely accurate. Misogyny and bigotry spread through colonial religious practices, creating racial inequality and especially the whitewashed history that we're fed that makes the colonial rule seem almost idyllic to prop up the "colonial civilization" rhetoric. There's certainly a need to focus on why we're independent and why it's crucial. Unfortunately, especially psychologically, we haven't properly moved passed colonization. It's not properly taught in schools, it's not discussed socially and generally anything human rights related is treated as "rude" and improper for further discussion. Mainly because it risks people being held accountable for their actions. The exception being for PR purposes or for personal gain. Just look at all those making fools of themselves pretending to be human rights advocates and sell out at the slightest possibility of personal gain or things being easier for them and/or those they approve of/have a vested interest in. Colonization needs to be addressed properly in order to achieve true independence. Also ironic there's so much military fanfare when they've repeatedly threatened the independence of the country and its ability to be a democracy. The excuse often used is that we are "newly" independent to explain the many lapses away from democracy we've had as well as the lack of psychological decolonization. Except we gained independence in the 20th century. It's not as if the evolutionary clock started at that point so we've had every advantage of being more advanced and should have been much further along in our psychological independence as well. As always, pretending problems don't exist isn't going to resolve anything. #humanrights #equality #adaptingevolving

Despite centuries of violence and oppression, Native peoples remain resilient and proud. Today, #NativeAmericans are essential to the fabric of the #UnitedStates. They serve in the United States Armed Forces at higher rates than any other ethnic group. They continue to steward so many of our great lands. Their contributions to #science, #humanities, #arts, #publicservice, and more have brought prosperity for all of us. Their diverse #cultures and #communities continue to thrive and lead us forward.

"Independence is not just a word; it's the legacy of our ancestors, the strength of our present, and the hope of our future." 🕊️ Independence is far more than a date on the calendar; it’s the heritage passed down by those who fought for our freedom, the courage we display in our daily lives, and the vision we hold for a brighter tomorrow. It’s a reminder of the sacrifices made by our ancestors, who gave everything for the liberties we enjoy today. As we honor their legacy, let’s also recognize our role in preserving this freedom for future generations. Whether through our actions, words, or thoughts, we continue to build upon the foundation laid by those before us. Independence is the heartbeat of our nation, resonating through every citizen who cherishes it. Today, let’s not only celebrate our freedom but also reflect on how we can contribute to a more united, peaceful, and prosperous future. Together, we are the strength of the present and the hope of the future. #IndependenceDay #LegacyOfFreedom #StrengthInUnity #HopeForTheFuture #ProudHeritage #FreedomFighters #NationBuilding #MotiveTide #CelebrateFreedom #IndependenceSpirit #Patriotism #NationalPride #OurLegacy #FutureGenerations #UnitedWeStand #PeaceAndProsperity #InspirationDaily #WordsOfWisdom #HonoringThePast #BuildingTheFuture

Since time immemorial, Native communities have passed down rich cultures, knowledge, traditions, and ways of life. But throughout our history, Native peoples' cultures, identities, and governments were not always seen as a part of this Nation but as a threat to it. Native people were pressured to assimilate, banned from practicing their traditions and sacred ceremonies, and forced from their homes and ancestral homelands. This violence and devastation cost countless lives, tore families apart, and caused lasting damage to Tribal communities and institutions. Despite centuries of violence and oppression, Native peoples remain resilient and proud. Today, Native Americans are essential to the fabric of the United States. They serve in the United States Armed Forces at higher rates than any other ethnic group. They continue to steward so many of our great lands. Their contributions to science, humanities, arts, public service, and more have brought prosperity for all of us. Their diverse cultures and communities continue to thrive and lead us forward. https://lnkd.in/e3tED3DS
