Natural Birthing Needs Urgent Support in Hawai‘i

Midwives Assert Cultural and Natural Birthing Rights
with Sit-In at the Hawai‘i State Capitol to Decriminalize Traditional and Indigenous Hawaiian Midwifery
These Hawaiian midwives staged a sit-in at the State Capitol in Hawaii demanding a hearing on HB955.

A law that protects traditional and Hawaiian indigenous midwifery practices from criminality and cultural erasure is set to expire on July 1.
The Hawaii HB955 Bill would allow traditional midwives to continue attending births and show respect to the Hawaiian cultural beliefs and practices surrounding traditional birthing.
Our Hawaii relatives need our support and help.
Why Hawaii HB955 is Important
If the bill is not passed, the traditional midwives of Hawaii will be criminalized on July 1, 2023.
Women will be told by the government after July 1st who can touch their body.
Women will lose access to culturally appropriate care.
Rural areas will no longer have access.
Here Is What You Can Do
Contact Representative Saiki and ask him to put
HB955 to a floor vote. A vote will allow Hawaii show those who support and oppose.
Encourage Representative Saki to speak directly with our Hawaiian relatives.
Add your signature to the Change petition which now has 23,000+ signatures.
Contact news agencies for increased coverage.
Contact Representative Saiki:
Contact Representative Scott K. Saiki to put HB 955 to a floor vote by March 9th.

Maui midwife and Natural Birthing advocate Ki‘i Kaho‘ohanohano reflects at the Hawai‘i State Capitol on the decisions to draw the attention of law maker Maui Representative Kyle Yamashita for decriminalizing traditional and Indigenous Hawaiian midwifery. Kaho‘ohanohano was prepared to be arrested and when fellow advocates encouraged her to leave willingly under duress she exclaimed, “I’m just a Ku‘e Mama you know”. Her choice to not get arrested has catapulted her voice. She and other Natural Birthing advocates have multi-island events on Monday and are now demanding Representative Scott Saiki to schedule a hearing for House Bill 955.

Dismantling Hopelessness on Maui

A girl can’t escape danger from an abusing partner because her paperwork is incomplete. A double amputee man struggles to make the long trip to the bathrooms because the gates are locked. A pregnant woman walks almost a mile to the only water access in the precarious night. Children are riddled in unhealthy conditions due […]

Paddling in Stolen Waters

It’s not the JAWS you know. As land tenancy remains to be a high topic of conversation in Hawai‘i, on O‘ili Road Maui, it has become a dangerous landscape. The resident tenants and the heirs are restoring the ahupua‘a (land from mountain to sea) of Kaupakalua. The adjoining property to the grown-famous street, O‘ili Road, used […]

GenY Hawaiians Fighting Real Estate Fraud Ask Why?

The island of Maui in Hawai‘i has had one of the largest water battles in history. A hundred year plus battle. Long standing court cases, incestuous land and water boards, corporation control of government, all these and more have led a sad path for native tenants who merely want water to farm. Broken promises exhausted […]

There’s No Water Under The Bridge

There has been 150 years of water theft from East Maui by conglomerate sugar barons. Their gross entitled attitudes have overflowed into abuse of power in cooperation with status quo, bought-off politicians. The reprehensible damage done to this remote East Maui area is not all visible. The fallow fields of kalo that once were, are […]

The Tortilla Machine Blew Up

If you don’t know this remote Maui region, its tricky to fully understand the obstacles of off-the-grid living. The Kahikinui Hawaiian Homestead does not have water. Homesteaders must drive 30-45 minutes one way to an Ulupalakua water source. This feat alone is laborious and costly. The region suffers from hydrophobic soil, which makes growing anything […]
