    About this ebook

    Now for some straight-up facts. Queen Liliuokalani (Lydia Kamekeha) who died in 1917 was the last kanaka who stood her ground. She was deposed by Sanford Dole and his haoles and, overwhelmed by their United States Marines backing, reluctantly abdicated and, at the point of a gun, surrendered the Hawaiian Islands to the haoles. Aloha Oe (Farewell) was her swan song to the remaining kanakas. Bottom line, Sanford Dole and company stole the Islands as the United States Supreme Court later in the 50s affirmed and ordered reparations. After that, the hawaiians (small h) gave up and became Christians, afraid to offend the haoles. They became "good natives" like the "good indians" on the Mainland and the Islands were never the same. Some kama-aina (native born) play the role, catering to the tourist dollar. However, kanaka as an attitude lived on. It was adopted by some who migrated to the Islands and retained by the real Hawaiians (capital H) who adopted them. My father's family, who migrated to the Island in the early 1800s and received land grants from the king, small plots to farm and raise their children, belonged to these.

    Anthony Dias Souza

    I was born Anthony Dias Souza (aka Leroy Dumont) in 1935 at Ahualoa, Hamakua, Hawaii. I attended Honokaa Elementary School on the Island of Hawaii, Saint Patrick's School, Kaimuki, Oahu, Hawaii, graduated Saint Louis College, Kaimuki, Oahu, Hawaii (now called Chaminade College). Later, I attended Yale University Institute of Far Eastern Studies courtesy of the United States Government and served in U.S. intelligence service in the Pacific/Far Eastern Theater for three and a half years. Upon returning stateside, I further pursued my education in southern California majoring in psychology and law. I further served as special liaison for Los Angeles area congressman and as area coordinator for the mayor of Los Angeles. During this period, I was the editor and publisher of The Harbor Alternative - a Los Angeles Harbor region bi-monthly community newspaper and a partner in a public relations firm, primarily geared to political campaigns but also organized and staged rock concerts in the region including the calamitous seven-day California Music Faire. Now retired, I reside in Santa Cruz County, California and devote my time to research and writing. I have published 15 novels under my pen name Leroy Dumont.
