When this Corporate program has reached the stage of building the large migration size voyaging canoes which by then we should be relocated at our next designated home base of operation on the island of Ohau on the western side of the island on the corporate founders uncles property where we will install the plantation campus programs. From here all members will make their reservations set time and dates of voyages to destinations along the routs of our journeys, which arrangements of stopover may be permitted and picked up on the return round trip.
At this point of development that by the time - 2- years has passed, there should be suficiant money paid in by the member to cover all or the larger expanse or whichever comes first, the member has propriety, which this corporation has a promised obligation to uphold.
On the date whichever it may be the readiness of the voyaging canoe. Crews and training must begin, recruitment may come from any sector or level of the membership. If funding has been discovered to be short, there should not be any hesitation to apply because of status, We will find a way and means to correct this a much needed program to continue moving towards its next stage. By means of outside interest wanting to share such an exciting advanture, experience, and education.

The most important investment this corporation will ever make and is unavoidable and is perhaps the most important one besides all the programs we have designed and the most expensive single purchase
Is a piece of real estate to insure a home base of operation. It is inevitable that we do this or face the possibility of a homeless entity valuable and fall prey like an endangered mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional, disoriented without place of belonging or community with sense of family support. Not only that but culture, peoples identity, history of origins, customs, traditions, self esteem, pride gets wiped out and soon we are a people without a country. And we therefore are a number thrown together with other people and forced to get along as a community with a sense of oneness. We band together with a false idea of community yet we cannot equally share or accept each others customs and beliefs as long there exist a sense of superiority that one race of people is above others.
This will become the home, a learning place to teach and share all the things of past history, survival skills of the industrial arts, to be able to make do with the simplest of resources with out falling dependent of modern materials with some exceptions to economical benefit such as time verses cost, life time expectancy and ecological balance to the environment.
A place for research and study, experiencing new abilities that refreshes the inapt. Gray matter we call the brain that big business has crippled our minds to become dependent and almost helpless.
We will learn to make and use ancient stone Adz just for the sake of the experience and knowledge. But we will also learn to make metal blade Adz from recycled automobile leaf springs. There will be many things we may not be able to master and may still be somewhat dependent to modern implements and the whatnots or what ever. But the greatest challenge will be making fishing equipment in the traditional manner and to use them, and use them in fishing tournaments require only hand made bone hooks and hand braided cordage. Plus other items of the industry.
We will learn all forms of ancient traditional farming, animal keeping, make fish ponds, and aquatics.
We will try however the scarcity of certain plants like the Olono, many types for many uses, also the types of trees used for making of the kapa cloth for clothing and bed covers, We will try to find resources and replace what was depleted to restore for economic fundamental.
In a sense, we are learning to balance our natural wealth and our ability to enhance whatever currency we use as a means of barter and exchange, as well as explore what value we may posses with these once valuable resource. Which could make a difference in our financial stability.
Many things I have mentioned so far are an essence valuable to shaping our minds and our economy and quality of life. It is the things that put the iron in our back bone, But the other powerful entity of this corporate program is the large migratory voyaging canoes. That will make the biggest impact more then any thing else. Because of the gigantic proportion that these canoes were, were thought not possible to be made by a people without modern technology. And even to travel so vast an ocean before any European maritime capability.
We are looking forward to our successes in all the things we hope to employ as our ancestors did before us. And to be able to utilize these resources to our greatest benefit, to restore a people to the recognition which they greatly deserve, as the worlds greatest mariners and navigators since the time these people set foot into a sea never before traveled accept for those that dared out of need, from fear
Of being eaten by their cannibalistic relatives fighting for food and land when they out grew their ability to balance the need, The distribution of knowledge between the willing as the gatherers, planters, hunters and fisherman verses the takers, the lazy, the robbers. Since the time of the Austronesian, and Malay O polynesian age after the age of the Austro Homoerectus period. From these times, came the navigators, whos secrets were kept so secret that it was a means of power leverage so valuable was thar knowledge that their lives were insured and held chiefly status. A right of passage. People depended on these persons with such knowledge and revered these man as gods or were treated with much ado. But this is not what we are about. What we are about is the quest of survival in those times of uncertainty, And the Aloha traditions developed was to revere with compassion. And till today of this modern times Our ALOHA has become even more meaningful so much that I realize how much more important it is to pass down to all future generations and not only to the whole of the Polynesian cultures, But to all peoples of the world interested in getting to know about what ALOHA really means or what it means and the feeling when thousands of strangers hold hands together at the opening and closing of our festivity. WE gather around in the largest human circle so thick and deep. Realizing all the differences shared good and bad and the need of family
( Ohana ) blood relations were ( Hanau ) adopted were ( Hanai ).
