Food Sovereignty

Outside of the CNHA convention hall were two unobtrusive but powerful statements. The first was a poi board (not seen and overturned) with the inscription of Queen Lili'uokalani's statement to temporarily place the Hawaiian government in US "hands" pending an appeal. She did this to avoid bloodshed.

The second statement is by Daniel Anthony. His goal is to feed the Hawaiian people the "food of the land" which is poi. He emphasizes this by pounding kalo throughout the three days and doing so clad only in his pü'ali. That is true Food Sovereignty!
