episode that will feature two presentations from an event recently held at
the Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies at the University of
Hawai`i, in Manoa, called "`Ike: Historical Transformations: Reading
Hawai`i's Past to Probe Its Future."  The first is by Keanu Sai,
and the second is by J. Kehaulani Kauanui. They each presented on a panel
called, "International Routes: De-occupation, Decolonization, and the U.N.
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples." The mission of the
session was to discuss the modern trajectory of the Hawaiian Islands
within the context of Hague Regulations on the law of occupation, the U.N.
Decolonization Protocols, and the U.N. Declaration on the Rights
of Indigenous Peoples. Keanu Sai earned his Ph.D. in Political Science

before the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague, Netherlands, from
November 1999-February 2001.  He also served as Agent in a Complaint 
against the United States of America concerning the prolonged occupation
of the Hawaiian Kingdom, which was filed with the United Nations Security
Council on July 5, 2001.  Besides producing the radio show "Indigenous
Politics" J. Kehaulani Kauanui is an associate professor of American
