Compliance By the State of Hawaii

**What Happens When State of Hawai‘i Executive Agents Do Comply?
A Kupuna Tribunal Perspective**

Within the Hawaiian Kingdom’s humanitarian governance framework, the Hawai‘i Kupuna Humanitarian Tribunal (HKHT) issues non-adversarial, cultural and humanitarian recommendations to agencies and individuals operating within the foreign administration known as the “State of Hawai‘i.” These recommendations are not punitive orders; they are Kupuna-guided invitations to act in pono, grounded in dignity, compassion, and Indigenous human rights standards.

While many discussions focus on non-response or non-compliance, it is equally important to understand:

⭐ What happens when State of Hawai‘i executive agents DO comply?
The answer demonstrates how kupuna guidance can uplift both sides, reduce harm, and restore balance for Hawaiian Subjects during occupation conditions.

 
🌺 1. Compliance Opens the Door to Peace, Clarity, and Mutual Respect
When an executive agent acknowledges or responds to a Kupuna Tribunal communication, it signals:

A willingness to listen,
A recognition of cultural dignity, and
A practical step toward humanitarian understanding.
Compliance does not mean political agreement.
It simply means acknowledging humanity and cultural identity.

This alone carries deep significance.

Kupuna often say:

“Respect begins with listening.”
A response — even a modest one — restores relational balance.

 
🌺 2. Compliance Reduces Humanitarian Risk

From a Kupuna Tribunal lens, every Hawaiian Subject is a protected person culturally, and every situation affecting their well-being is reviewed through spiritual, emotional, and cultural impact.

When State of Hawai‘i agents comply by:

answering correspondence,
acknowledging inquiries,
providing information,
or facilitating communication,
then the risk of cultural harm is reduced.

Compliance transforms a one-sided silence into a two-way dialogue, helping the Tribunal evaluate:

whether harm is ongoing,
whether safety is improving,
and whether the subject’s dignity is being honored.
This shift alone lightens the burden on the Hawaiian Subject.

 
🌺 3. Compliance Demonstrates Professional Integrity

Many State of Hawai‘i employees are not aware of:

the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom,
the humanitarian implications of occupation,
the cultural responsibilities at stake,
or the role of the Kupuna Tribunal.
When they choose to respond, they show:

professionalism,
openness,
curiosity,
and willingness to learn.
This strengthens the human relationship, not the political one.

Kupuna see this as a sign of good character.

 
🌺 4. Compliance Creates a Pathway Toward Restorative Solutions

Once communication is open, the Kupuna Tribunal can offer:

cultural clarification,
humanitarian guidance,
restorative recommendations,
and mediation options.
Compliance allows the Tribunal to operate in the way it was designed:

not to punish,
not to confront,
but to restore balance and reduce suffering.
Kupuna-led dialogue transforms conflict into understanding.

 
🌺 5. Compliance Protects the Hawaiian Subject from Prolonged Cultural Injury

Non-response often leads to:

prolonged uncertainty,
emotional distress,
loss of dignity,
and cultural harm.
Compliance — even partial — helps alleviate:

fear,
silence,
invisibility,
and confusion.
Kupuna measure harm not only by events, but by:

“What the silence does to the spirit.”
Therefore, a simple acknowledgment can significantly reduce humanitarian injury.

 
🌺 6. Compliance Preserves Harmony Between Communities

During occupation conditions, tensions often arise from misunderstanding, not malice.

Compliance by State of Hawai‘i agents:

de-escalates tension,
builds bridges,
and fosters respectful coexistence while conditions persist.
Kupuna recognize every act of respect as a step toward restoring harmony in the land.

 
🌺 7. Compliance Honors the Kupuna Themselves

When kupuna speak, they speak from:

ancestral knowledge,
lived experience,
cultural kuleana,
and responsibility to protect Hawaiian Subjects.
A response to the Tribunal is also a response to the kupuna.

Kupuna appreciate when their words are acknowledged because it shows:

aloha for elders,
respect for Hawaiian traditions,
and willingness to honor relationships.
In Hawaiian culture, respecting kūpuna is foundational.

 
⭐ Conclusion: Compliance Creates a Pono Pathway Forward

When State of Hawai‘i executive agents comply with Kupuna Tribunal notices or communications, the impact is profound:

harm is reduced,
dignity is restored,
misunderstanding is softened,
pathways to healing appear,
and the Hawaiian Subject receives needed clarity.
The Kupuna Tribunal is not adversarial.
Kupuna are not judges.
They do not punish or command.

Their purpose is to:

uplift,
protect,
guide,
restore,
and help all parties navigate these difficult times with pono and aloha.
Compliance — even simple cooperation — honors that purpose and strengthens the spiritual, cultural, and humanitarian well-being of our people.
