Sonny Kaniho: A Profile in Hawaiian Courage 1922–2009

0/5 ( ratings)

Sonny Kaniho: A Profile in Hawaiian Courage chronicles Sonnys labor of aloha to bring about change and reform within the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands , an institution created by the US Congress in 1920 to return Hawaiians to the aina , aina stolen from us when our beloved Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown by a coup instigated by US Minister Stevens and thirteen American businessmen with support from armed marines stationed aboard the USS Boston.

DHHL rather than serve its primary beneficiaries on a burgeoning waiting list for homesteads instead served large, well-financed, politically connected corporations. And Sonny was a victim of that practice. Through his courageous protest, Sonny brought that practice to an end. DHHL is a better institution because of Sonnys efforts.

This is a story about how this quiet, soft-spoken, peaceful, unassuming, gentle Hawaiian brought about the change he desired for the good of thousands. May we always remember Sonny Alohalani Kaniho.

Pages: 368
