I
appreciate
the
service
he
provides
in
helping
us
reach
people
with
the
messages
from
the
Kingdom.
He
has
asked
me
to
comment
on
the
Proclamation
of
First
Citizen
that
the
King
just
issued.
My
commentary
begins
with
the
proposed
construction
of
the
Thirty
Meter
Telescope
(TMT)
project
on
the
sacred
mountain
of
Mauna
Kea.
When
the
construction
began
on
this
project,
the
Hawaiian
community
erupted.
The
Kings
responses
are
found
in
the
Protecting
the
Sacred
Mountain
section
of
the
Kingdom
website
at
www.KingdomofHawaii.info.
What
the
King
saw
was
the
political
descendants
of
those
who
overthrew
the
Kingdom
of
Hawaii
Crown
and
Government
and
stole
the
lands
belonging
to
the
Crown
and
Government
continuing
their
policies
of
exploiting
Kingdom
lands.
He
also
saw
the
disrespect
for
the
traditional
Hawaiian
faith
that
has
divided
his
people
since
the
missionaries
came.
A
mountaintop
where
only
Kahunas
and
people
with
familial
connection
entered
and
no
permanent
structures
were
allowed
now
has
more
than
a
dozen
telescopes
built
upon
it.
The
TMT
was
the
last
straw.
As
thousands
came
out
to
protect
the
mountain,
the
King
saw
the
dawning
of
the
next
phase
of
Kingdom
restoration.
The
time
had
come
for
him
to
step
fully
into
his
position
as
King
without
reservation.
The
time
had
come
to
begin
the
process
of
transferring
the
functions
of
the
occupying
government
to
the
Kingdom
Government,
such
as
taxation.
If
the
occupying
power
chooses
to
continue
its
illegal
seizure
of
the
Kingdom,
the
King
will
call
upon
the
International
Court
of
Justice
to
convene
and
hear
the
case
for
liberation
of
the
Kingdom.

The
King
chose
Kamakahonu
as
the
meeting
place
for
that
hearing
because
that
site
was
the
headquarters
for
the
government
established
by
King
Kamehameha
I.
With
the
position
of
King
paa
(fixed),
the
time
had
also
come
to
begin
building
the
Government
with
its
foundation
in
the
citizens.

The
Proclamation
of
First
Citizen
took
the
symbolic
step
of
establishing
the
Government
through
granting
one
person
citizenship.
This
act
was
not
about
personalities.
There
are
tens
of
thousands
of
people
waiting
to
become
citizens
in
the
restored
Kingdom,
many
of
whom
have
spent
decades
in
the
struggle
to
restore
the
nation.
This
act
was
about
opening
the
door
to
creation
of
the
citizenry.
At
the
same
time,
in
Mikahala
Roy,
the
King
did
see
certain
qualities
that
illuminated
key
aspects
of
the
restoration
process.
She
sought
to
fulfill
the
kuleana
of
her
lineal
descent
by
fighting
to
protect
and
preserve
Kamakahonu.
In
pursuing
that
struggle,
she
called
upon
the
practitioners
of
the
traditional
faith
of
the
Hawaiian
people
for
assistance.
She
has
been
steadfast
in
recognizing
and
supporting
the
King,
often
standing
alone
in
her
convictions.
The
King
honored
her
Spirit
of
Aloha
by
selecting
her
as
First
Citizen.
The
fact
that
she
is
a
woman
also
brought
to
the
forefront
the
role
of
women
in
balancing
the
male
energy
and
bringing
peace
to
the
community.
I
was
personally
touched
by
the
message
she
sent,
which
is
included
in
the
Proclamation,
and
inspired
to
assist
the
King
in
the
preparation
of
the
Proclamation.
Overall,
the
message
of
the
Proclamation
is
that
unity
and
love
pave
the
way
for
the
completion
of
our
task
to
restore
the
Kingdom
to
its
place
in
the
community
of
nations
and
the
traditional
faith
to
its
rightful
place
within
the
faith
community.
