I stand in support of protecting Mapulehu Valley and its sacred lands from unjust development and misuse. This area is not only a critical archaeological site but also holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for Native Hawaiians. The voices of kuleana land title holders must be respected, and access to ancestral lands should not be denied. Molokai’s lands should be preserved for agricultural, cultural, and conservational purposes to honor its history and protect its future. Let’s prioritize stewardship over exploitation and ensure that Hawai‘i’s sacred places remain intact for generations to come. Mālama ‘āina, always.
Sisilia supported: Hawaii State Senate: Stop the selling of Kuleana Land on MolokaiI strongly oppose Aloha Poke Co.'s exploitative actions against Kanaka Maoli families and their attempt to trademark and profit from culturally significant words like 'Aloha' and 'Poke.' These words carry deep cultural, spiritual, and historical meaning for Native Hawaiians and are not commodities to be owned or weaponized against the very people who created them. Aloha is not just a greeting—it represents respect, presence, and the breath of life shared among people. Poke is not just a dish—it is a connection to Hawaiian traditions and sustenance.
Forcing Native Hawaiian-owned businesses to rebrand their identities is a blatant act of cultural erasure and colonial greed. This behavior perpetuates the commodification of Hawaiian culture while adding to the gentrification and displacement of marginalized communities. I stand in solidarity with Kanaka Maoli and all Indigenous peoples fighting against this form of cultural appropriation and exploitation. Aloha Poke Co. must cease using 'Aloha' and 'Poke' in their branding immediately and recognize that these words are not theirs to own or monopolize. Let’s honor and protect the integrity of Hawaiian culture and the people who continue to sustain it.
Sisilia supported: Levy Family Partners: Aloha Poke Co, Remove "Aloha" and "Poke" From Your NameI fully support the redesignation of 'Captain Cook' back to Ka‘awaloa. Restoring this name is an essential step in preserving and honoring the cultural heritage of Hawai‘i. Ka‘awaloa holds deep historical and cultural significance, and reclaiming its name ensures that future generations can connect with and celebrate their roots. By prioritizing Hawaiian place names, we acknowledge the resilience and identity of the people who have called these lands home for centuries. Let's restore Ka‘awaloa and honor the rich legacy it represents!
Sisilia supported: Redesignate "captain cook" as Ka'awaloa!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
