Скачать или смотреть Makawalu Holds UH Accountable part 3

A handful of University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) student representatives, in league with the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART), attempt to pass senate resolution 07-13, which states that the entire UHM full-time undergraduate student body supports the highly controversial Honolulu Rail Transit Project.

These student representatives did not ask the student body for their permission to pass such a measure, nor was there any opportunity for public comment prior to the tabling of the resolution. This measure follows the Hawai'i Supreme Court ruling to stop the development of the Honolulu Rail Transit project for failure to properly assess the rail route, which undoubtedly comes into contact with innumerable Kānaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) burials.

Kānaka Maoli students and the UH mokuna of Makawalu flood the senate hearing on resolution 07-13 to share their mana'o (thoughts/believes) on the issue and hold these representatives accountable for their misconduct and questionable actions.

Makawalu thanks student senator and Makawalu member, Brandi "Elilo..." for making sure that the student body is well-informed of the issue. And never backing down! Hawai'inuiākea (School of Hawaiian Knowledge) was brilliant for voting her as their senator.

Mai kaula'i wale i ka iwi o nā kūpuna. (Never dry out in the sun, the bones of your ancestors)

ASUH Senators who sponsored the hewa resolution: Cassandra Bellisario and Rio Kwon.

ASUH Senator who fearlessly battled hewa and didn't apologize for doing so: Brandi Elilo... Hyden

So what happens now? Resolution 07-13 was taken off the floor and sent back to the joint-committees for reevaluation (basically tabled). Now, it's entirely up to the Committees to kill the measure, otherwise, we'll be seeing it make a return to the floor.

This was a win for Kānaka Maoli!
