Kekuni Blaisdell is interviewed for public access tv regarding sign-holding demonstration in Kailua, near President-elect Barack Obama’s rented vacation home in Hawaii.
Sign holders, members of Hawaiian Independence Alliance, demonstrate in opposition to federal recognition (known as the Akaka Bill) in Kailua.
Sign holders block the road into and out of the back gate of the Marine Corps Base in Kailua calling attention to lands taken from the Hawaiian Kingdom at the time of the so-called annexation (1898) of Hawaii. For more information see www.hawaiiankingdom.org and www.hawaii-nation.org.
