Hawaiian Activists Fight US Military Bases
Author: The Guardian Source: The Guardian (UK)
Title: HAWAIIAN ACTIVISTS FIGHT US MILITARY BASES
Terri Keko’olani and Leimaile Quitevis are Indigenous leaders from the island of O’ahu, Hawai’i. They are both long-time activists who have campaigned tirelessly US militarization, environmental destruction and the decimation of their traditional Hawai’ian culture.
The Guardian: Can you tell us about your organization?
The group that we are representing is DMZ Hawai’i/Aloha Aina — a network of communities and organizations in Hawai’i, which oppose the occupation of Hawai’i and are opposing the expansion of military forces in Hawai’i. It is a network of organizations and individuals working to counter the US military’s negative social, cultural and environmental impacts in Hawai’i.
In 1898 our country was an independent nation. It was called the Kingdom of Hawai’i. In 1898 the United States participated in the overthrow of our government. Since that time we have been under occupation by the US military in our own homeland.

Where to begin? There are so many mis-facts in this article. DMZ Hawaii/Aloha Aina is an admirable group working towards making the US military take responsibilty for damages done.
However...
1. In 1898 Hawaii was the Republic of Hawaii, not the Kingdom of Hawaii. The Kingdom was lost in 1893.
2. Oahu is not the largest island - that would be Hawaii Island.
3. "Bernise Pourheepship"? "Luna Leeho"? Ummm....Bernice Pauahi Bishop and Lunalilo.
ANYWAY...I couldn't tell if maybe the reporter was hard of hearing, had too many XXXX before the interview, or just didn't bother to even really look up the facts, which is really too bad since this group is trying to help other indigenous peoples.
