Lamakū Mikahala Roy has issued a statement in response to the article, “Lost Bones of Kamehameha: Tyrone Young’s 1983 Discovery” by Melisse Malone, published in the Ke Ola Magazine edition for January, 2022. In a strong rebuttal, Lamakū Mikahala Roy states the following to the Editor, Publisher and staff:
Strength of Greetings in Makahiki the Greatest Sacred Time for the Planet --
Tyrone Young has not discovered the resting place of Hawai`i's Great King, Kalanipai`eakūnuiākea Kamehameha the Great.
Tyrone Young has only confirmed his place among too many `Ōiwi who fall to sensationalism born of colonization and who fail to uphold the standards of their Ancestors.
Tyrone Young should have heard his father's words that admonished against entering burial caves, over words of Herb Kane, the artist historian, who stood by while Young took his steps.
What is extremely sad is how you, the magazine and a business, have had the pristine opportunity to honor Hawai`i in the greatest way by honoring the Spirit of Hawai`i and her people. Tyrone made a choice and so did you, Editor, Publisher and Staff of Keola. You elected to tell a story of shame over the history of Light unfolding that is the CONTINUING STORY of Kamehameha-The-Great, of Ahu`ena Heiau, of Kamakahonu and Ka Mo`olelo Hou (New History) for Hawai`i and the World!
Furthermore, the author of this article, Ms. Melissa Shields, presents a technically modified photo of Ahu`ena Heiau. By the Guidance of Akua, since 2007, no Ho`okupu (physical offerings) have been accepted at Ahu`ena Heiau. No photographs of Ahu`ena Heiau have been permitted. Ms. Shields did not seek permission of Akua in the Kahu of Ahu`ena Heiau to take her photo or to tell this story of great disrespect to Hawai`i's Great King and to Kamakahonu, the Heart of Hawai`i for `Ōiwi and all people.
Ahu`ena Heiau is the first Restored Heiau in Hawai`i of the Planet. In 2010, we began hearing from the Ancestors of `Ōiwi who uphold the highest light of Akua (Divine Creator) of Heaven and Earth. What was 2010 but the 200th anniversary of the unification of the Hawaiian Islands by Kamehameha-The-Great.
Here in Hawai`i how blessed are the first people of the Pacific for mankind that by our Ancestors of the Light of Kamakahonu, we hear from Most High God for the benefit of `Ōiwi, the planet and all life upon the planet!
How blessed are the first people of the Pacific for mankind that Kamakahonu is the Kapitala Mua (First Capital of Hawai`i) unified by Kamehameha-the-Great.
How blessed are the first people of the Pacific for mankind by Akua Manamana loa that, today, Kamakahonu is the Capital of the Restored Kingdom of Hawai`i by Ali'i Nui Mo'i Edmund K. Silva, Jr. (Paki)
