“Cruel and proud America
give us back our pride,
our dreams, our land.
Liliuokalani is long gone
but we are here
and you are here
and the ghosts of Kepookalani,
and Kamanawa.
The great Paiea, our ageless king,
will stalk you until the end
and we will be there
because Queen Liliuokalani is long gone
but she is also here to haunt you
and we are here
witnesses to your greed,
your stubborn clutching to what is ours.
We are here
and the ghosts of our makua
watch you from the shadows of their
island valleys and caves.
From the mountain tops of Kaala and Maunakea
Where old gods and the makua wait patiently.
--from "Enaʻena”

“Do not grieve good Queen in your
place among the aumakua where maile
and the mosses grow.
Some of us are still here. We remember.
We feel.
We burn with the need to seek justice and rectification.
We do not forget the terrible theft of our lands
the destruction of our heritage
the empty eyed look of our children, the rape
of their understanding. Their hunger.
You stand in the center of our fury.
Your songs live on, heard everyday.
We take courage from their words and tunes.
Your love is a legacy to Hawaii's children.
Onipaʻa is the cry. Onipaʻa
You are a powerful symbol
Too strong to die
Too strong to kill the memory of theft
You give us courage
to continue to fight to regain what was ours.
