Advisory Organization #518 24-94 Bridgeport Road East Waterloo, ON, Canada N2J 2J9\\n\\nMarch 25, 1998 Dear Friends!\\n\\nWow! Are we HAPPILY LOOKING AHEAD? YES INDEED!\\n\\nYour enclosed W.I.N. Advisory Organization Processing Form and explanatory material for the $1,000,000.00 SUPER PRIZES CASH & AWARDS PAPERWORK arrived this afternoon!   It will be in the post office box and off from there to Canada in the morning!\\n\\nWe wish we could somehow hide in the envelope to extend handshakes and hugs of thanks when it arrives in your office. Better yet, why not plan your next earliest vacation trip here to our modest but heart-warming home here in Hawaii? It's now both a State and Federal Historic Site at the southern tip of this island.\\n\\nMy Mother, Father and I (at age 4) came here in 1923. Dad had a year's contract in art work during which time we quickly fell in love with the super-friendly and beautiful Native Hawaiians and their gorgeous Pacific islands ocean environment. And my artist parents spent the rest of their lives enshrining the gentle, skilled and friendly Hawaiians and their culture in the beauty of their kindly and friendly sharing. Kate and John Kelly's art works are famous both locally and abroad.\\n\\nBefore they passed away in the 1960's, I had learned surfing, fishing and ocean skills from many Native Hawaiians. Enclosed are some of the awards given to me during and after WWII for which I always pass credit on to the Hawaiian people and their deeply traditional oceanic knowledge and skills. My reason for mentioning these events is deeply related to the Cash & Awards for which I have been confirmed.\\n\\nBriefly, during the two thousand early years following discovery and establishing of their new homelands here. Native Hawaiian families were totally and healthily self-sufficient and equally shared their lands, their labor and resources among all in these wonderful islands.\\n\\nHowever, following the first arrival of western foreigners in 1778, within a short 70 years two foreign missionaries declared the 4.1 million acres of land in Hawaii to be the private property of 251 high Hawaiian chiefs! This left nearly the entire Native Hawaiian population landless here in their Hawaiian homelands of 2.00O prior years!   Two years later another foreign-conceived and written law called the \"Penal Code of the Hawaiian Islands\" classified the great majority of now land\\n_________________________________________________________________\\n2\\nless Native Hawaiians as \"vagrants\" and used them as slave labor to build horse-cart roads to bring the foreigners' plantation sugar from their distant privatized plantations to the few major harbors from where they were shipped to sugar factories in distant America for processing, cooking and selling.\\n\\nHaving transformed indigenous Native Hawaiian males into various forms of slave labor under the term \"vagrants\" in 1850, that law wasn't repealed until 1970, 120 years later!  In the meantime, the Native Hawaiian Monarchy as they called it was overthrown by U.S. military and corporate forces in 1893 and the islands as a whole were taken over by United States government armed forces in the Spanish/American War in 1898.\\n\\nThe overall effects today of these past events have resulted in the Native Hawaiian population here in their Native Homelands having the highest death rate in the United States, the highest number of incarcerated Native Hawaiians in jail, poverty, homelessness and many other debilities and sufferings.\\n\\nToday, among Native Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians, both within and outside government agencies and schools, and with steadily broadening help from both local and international media, a wide and deep awareness exists and is spreading for justice and support of Hawaii's Native Hawaiian people, both here and abroad.\\n\\nWithin this overall changing and, in certain areas, improving climate, we environmentalists in Hawaii are deeply supportive of help both from and for Native Hawaiian needs and causes.\\n\\nFrom 1968 through the present, the Save Our Surf (SOS) movement, along with many other environmental agencies and groups, points to the need of increasing the number and efficiencies of non-profit public printshops for the purpose of raising interest in and knowledge of environmental protection and conservation. For this aim we are convinced  -  - through 30 years of unbroken practice  -  that printshops and various other media methods are among the most fair, democratic and successful.\\n\\nPlease read the enclosures including \"Hawaii SOS stirs ecology wave\" a report to the Nation by Stewart Udall, President John F. Kennedy's Secretary of the Interior, and our list of Save Our Surfs 40 major victories since the 1960's. They consist of over $3 BILLION   of taxpayers money saved  from destructive coastal interventions.\\n\\nAgain, MANY THANKS for your help and guidance. And don't forget the invitation to pay us a visit if you can take the time for a trip to Hawaii, and...don't forget what happened to us in 1923 - we came here for a year...and never left! If you teach us how to generate sweep...waves, we'll teach you how to ride REAL WAVES!\\n\\nBest regards and sincerely yours,\\n\\nEnclosures"}],"sequences":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31489/sequence/normal","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Current Page Order","viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"paged","canvases":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31489/canvas/p1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"277-2288medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36122/full/154%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36122","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2451,"height":3179,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31489/annotation/p0001-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36122/full/617%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2451,"height":3179,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36122","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31489/canvas/p1"}]},{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31489/canvas/p2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"277-2291medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36123/full/156%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36123","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2465,"height":3165,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31489/annotation/p0002-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36123/full/623%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2465,"height":3165,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/36123","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31489/canvas/p2"}]}]}]}
