My grandfather signed the Hui Aloha 'Aina petition against annexation to the U.S. at a young age. As a result of this encounter, he was recruited to go to Hilo Boarding School and left rural Kaua'i. He is here with my greatgrandmother who moved from Hana to Manana to Anahola to receive konohiki land from an 'ohana member. Most of the families of Anahola Kai singed the Ku'e Petition.
