"WE WILL NOT BE DENIED" CRY AS HAWAIIANS PROTEST ILLEGAL OCCUPATION

Health & Wellness Of Hawaiian Nation Focus Of Event

Honolulu, Hawai'i - With the theme, "Hawai`i Loa Kulike Kakou, All
Hawai`i Come Together," Native Hawaiians and supporters from near and
far will gather this weekend for the 113th observance of the illegal
overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation in a massive demonstration of unity.

Voicing outrage at the continuing illegal US occupation of Hawai`i,
participants will gather to celebrate and promote the continued life
of the Hawaiian nation and its people. Everyone, whether of Hawaiian
heritage or not, is invited to take part.

"As Hawaiians, we gather in support of our beloved Queen,
Lili`uokalani. We maintain her legacy, the dignity and righteousness
of our nation, our lands, and our people. We now move toward
manifestation of our country. We will not be denied," states Living
Nation chair Mel Kalahiki.

The Living Nation campaign kicks off this Friday, January 13th and
runs through Sunday, January 15th, at 'Iolani Palace, historic seat
of governance and residence of Hawaiian Monarchs.

Special activities include dramatic torchlight walks both Friday and
Saturday evenings to honor Hawaiian ali`i, a unique Fallen Warriors
ceremony late Saturday night, and an early morning Run For Justice on
Sunday.

Continuous events on Sunday will include speakers and hula
performances. All events are free and the public is invited.

Wealthy sugar barons, assisted by US agents and military forces,
illegally overthrew the internationally recognized Hawaiian Monarchy
in 1893. In 1993, President Clinton and Congress formally apologized
for that illegal act of war, admitting that Hawaiian nationhood and
sovereignty had, in fact, never been relinquished.

For more information, call Mel Kalahiki at (808) 284-8722 or Lynette
Cruz at (808) 284-3460.
