User:Kanaka maoli i puuwai/About Me

Howzit! Just a little about me. I am 26 years old, and I live in Mililani, on the island of Oahu, in the awesome state of Hawaii. Hawaii Nei, nō ka oi! (Beloved Hawaii, indeed the best!)

I am a haole, originally from Memphis, Tennessee. I moved to Hawaii in 2000. I fell in love with the people, the culture and the āina. My girlfriend is Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese, Scotch, Irish and Italian. My children are Hawaiian born, and of Hawaiian descent. Being with my girlfriend and beign around her ohana, I have developed an even greater respect and love for the people, the culture and the āina.

I am trying to learn the Hawaiian language to a point where I can speak and communicate fluently. At this point, I can understand way more than I can communicate to others.

I support the idea of Hawaii becoming an independent Nation as well as support the Hawaiian sovereignty movement. I do not agree with the way the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown.
