"He pono ina koho na Hawai`i i na `elele no ka noi `ana i kekahi 
aupuni Hawai`i maoli?"

And 22,294 Hawaiian voices chanted, "`Ae."

[Translation of the Hawaiian Sovereignty Elections Council Ballot: 
"Shall the Hawaiian people elect delegates to propose a Native 
Hawaiian government?"]

As the various (and factious) Hawaiian Sovereignty leaders continue to
argue over the details, it is the chorus of maka`ainana voices--the 
'Ae chant--that will fill the land.

Aloha,
Lydia
