KAMOKUIKI (c. 1795 – September 26, 1840) was a grandmother of the last two ruling monarchs of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Life

Kamokuiki was born about 1795 as a daughter of the chief Kanepawale, son of Kaʻihelemoana and Kaʻopa, and his wife chiefess Uaua, daughter of Kaʻehunuiamamaliʻi and Koʻi. Her grandfather's sister was Hikuikekualono, the mother of Kahaopulani, who according to legend hid and nursed the baby Kamehameha I during his infancy when he was being hunted down by Alapainui.[1]

Kamokuiki married High Chief Kamanawa II and with him had a son, Caesar Kapaʻakea (1815–1866). She also had a daughter named Kekahili by another husband named Alapaimaloiki.[2] The House of Kalākaua descends from her son Kapaʻakea. The House of Kawānanakoa descends from her daughter Kekahili.

After converting to Christianity, Kamokuiki grew disgusted at her husband Kamanawa's many affairs. In 1840, she divorced him for the crime of adultery. Kamanawa was not allowed to remarry while she was alive. Six weeks after the divorce, Kamokuiki died in Honolulu on September 26, 1840.[3] Two days later an autopsy was performed on her body and her stomach was discovered to be “much inflamed, while everything else was in order.” Her ex-husband and his accomplice Lonoapuakau were arrested and placed in chains. They had poisoned her “‘awa” (a name for kava, a narcotic drink) with fatal doses of the fishing poisons ʻākia and ʻauhuhu. They were both tried by a jury of twelve chiefs and found guilty of her murder. They were hanged in the Honolulu Fort on October 20, 1840, the first two to be prosecuted under the criminal laws adopted in the Hawaiian constitution of 1840. Charles Wilkes of the United States Exploring Expedition was in Honolulu during the murder and subsequent trial. Calling her “Kamakinki”, Wilkes recounted how the cries of the natives mourning the death of Kamokuiki kept him awake at night, describing it as “one of the most startling and mournful sounds I ever heard which lasted all night, and disturbed the whole town of Honolulu.”

This incident left a mark on the family and would negatively affect public opinion of Kamokuiki's grandson Kalākaua during his campaign for the throne in 1874. Later opponents of Kalākaua and his sister and successor Liliʻuokalani would use the murder case as an example of their family's idolatrous tendencies.

Kamokuiki's remains are interred in the cemetery of the Kawaiahaʻo Church, in the Kapiʻolani family plot. Her husband Alapaimaloiki, Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, the father of Queen Kapiʻolani, and other relatives of Elizabeth Kahanu Kalanianaʻole are also buried here. Today, an obelisk marks where the Kapiʻolani family plot is located.[4] Most of her royal descendants are buried at the Royal Mausoleum at Mauna ʻAla.

Because of their actions, they were both tried for murder and sentenced to be hanged. Because this murder was the first executed under the legal code of 1840, it garnered much attention from those living in Honolulu.

Mr. Doyle awoke.  Familiar was the scene - his large master bedroom, plenty of sunlight coming in from the outside to freshen up his morning, the cat wanting to be let out, as always.  Upon closer inspection, however, something was different today, and this didn't go unnoticed by Mr. Doyle; a dirty shirt and pair of old jeans lay on the otherwise pristine carpeted floor.  For a split second, he was taken aback, as the past 37 years had conditioned him to expect a spotless room upon his awakening.

    You know how those got there.  Quit playing fucking games.

He stood, and went into the kitchen to brew some coffee.  He hadn't done so himself in years, possibly decades even, he thought - ah, but what does it matter.  This was a new day, a fresh beginning.  Despite being on the verge of 62, Mr. Doyle felt a certain invigoration that hadn't been felt since his teenage years.

     You saw it yourself, Doyle.  With your own eyes.  But are you sure?
Completely.  What sense would it make to not be sure?  That would defeat the entire purpose - NO.  No doubts, no regrets - this was Mr. Doyle's new resolve in life, that he'd sworn to uphold that very night before.  He was a new man, *satisfied* for once with everything around him.

    You're not sure.
He was sure that that coffee was damn good though, he thought.  He walked past his sliding glass to the backyard, his shovel still right where he left it, outside the door.

    You said yourself you were going back.  You didn't.  She's coming.
She's dead, thought Mr. Doyle.  Nothing will change that, he'd already made that decision and come to terms with it.

    Any moment now, Mr. Doyle, she'll be knocking.  And she won't be happy.
No, no - that bitch is gone.  No longer will I let her walk all over me, no more of my money to be taken, no more of what I've done, what I've made, what I've accomplished to be shit upon by some whore -

    Who do you think you are, Mr. Doyle?  Death only stops the undetermined.
That was the REASON, that's the fucking 'motive', she was a god damned parasite, taking everything I ever had, every emotion I'd let out and just demoralizing every ounce of it -

    And you think you can just, what?  Kill her, and it stops?  Minutes now, Mr. Doyle.
NO, she isn't coming, she's right the fuck where I left her last night, I dealt the finishing blow, I watched her take her last sweet breath of air, I took from her what she had been trying to take from me for so many years.  *I win, bitch.*

    No, Mr. Doyle, you lose.  She's here.  And she's angry.
Knocking.  Mr. Doyle was probably losing his mind - but his sense of hearing was intact, and he heard it.  No mistake.  It was *her knock*, the special pattern that Mr. Doyle had grown accustomed to.  His heart dropped, everything went silent.  He listened, and the knock came again.  With haste.

YOU WANT AN EXPLANATION, BITCH?  YOU WON'T GET SHIT. I'M DONE WITH YOU FUCKING WITH MY HEAD, I'M DONE WITH YOU TALKING TO ME LIKE I'M A FUCKING CHILD, I'M DONE PAYING FOR YOUR BULLSHIT, I'M DONE GETTING STEPPED ON LIKE GARBAGE, I'M FUCKING DONE WITH YOU.

Mr. Doyle produced a blade from a holder in the kitchen, and began violently sawing at his neck.

text:
_FRIENDLY ENEMIES_ is a play written by Aaron Hoffman and Samuel Shipman. Producer Albert H. Woods made it the debut play for his Woods Theatre in Chicago, where it opened on March 11, 1918. It played successfully in Chicago for several months before Woods opened a production on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre on July 22, 1918.[1]

Plot

Henry Block and Karl Pfeifer are old friends who both immigrated to the United States from Germany. Karl's son Billy and Henry's daughter June are engaged to be married. Henry has assimilated as a patriotic American, including changing his name from Heinrich. Karl refuses to change his name and remains a German patriot. The entry of the United States into World War I against Germany creates conflict between Karl and the others. Karl is secretly giving money to Walter Stuart to fund what Karl thinks is an effort to defuse anti-German propaganda, but Stuart is actually a German agent who uses the money to fund sabotage. Billy enlists in the United States Army against Karl's wishes. When Karl discovers that his money has funded a bomb that sinks the troop transport carrying his son, he changes his position on the war. The play has a happy ending when Billy returns home, having been saved from the sinking ship.[2]

Reception

Although a few critics thought the play was too positive in its portrayal of the pro-German position, it generally received positive reviews.[3][4]

Dorothy Parker gave the play a positive review in _Vanity Fair's_ October 1918 issue, saying: “_Friendly Enemies_... is simply driving them wild over at the Hudson Theatre. The audience just can't contain itself. The propaganda is so coated with humor that you've taken it before you can stop and think about it. Every time you begin to feel that it would be rather considerate if they'd turn off the war talk for just a moment, please, and talk about something else, the authors put in a line that gets a laugh, and so the audience has the time of its life.”[5]

Adaptations

The play was adapted to film twice, first in 1925 and then in 1942, with both versions retaining the title _Friendly Enemies_. The 1925 adaptation was a black and white silent film directed by George Melford. The 1942 adaptation was a black and white sound film directed by Allan Dwan.

The ABORIGINAL HEALING FOUNDATION was established in 1998 as an Indigenous managed, non-profit corporation dedicated to responding to the legacy of residential schools in Canada and the associated community health impacts. Funding for the Aboriginal Healing Foundation ceased in 2014.[1]

History

The Aboriginal Healing Foundation was created on March 30, 1998. It was established following consultations with residential school survivors, the Assembly of First Nations, the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, the Métis National Council, and the Native Women's Association of Canada.[2] The mission of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation was to foster sustainable healing strategies in Indigenous communities in Canada that begin to address the impacts of the residential school system.[3] The Foundation was initially provided with $350 million of funding from the Canadian government to care out this work with residential school survivors and Indigenous communities across Canada.[4] The Foundation was designed as an organization to be responsible for the management of the Canada government's healing strategy related to residential schools. This strategy was part of the “Gathering Strength, Canada's Aboriginal Action Plan” established by the federal government on January 7, 1998.[5] The original mandate of the Foundation was set to end on March 31, 2009.[6]

The first chair of the Foundation was Georges Erasmus.[7] The original board of directors was composed of 17 people, including Garnet Angeconeb, Charlene Belleau, Jerome Berthelette, Paul Chartrand, Angus Cockney, Ken Courchene, Wendy John, Richard Kistabish, Cerrielynn Lamouche, Ann Meekitjuk-Hanson, Teressa Nahanee, Dorris Peters, Viola Robinson, Grant Severight, Cindy Swanson, and Charles Weaselhead.[8]

In 2005 the Aboriginal Healing Foundation was granted an additional $40 million through the 2005 federal budget.[9]

The Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement of 2007 resulted in an additional $125 million of funding for the Healing Foundation and a prolonged mandate for the organization.[10] Part of this funding was through the federal government. Additionally under the settlement agreement the 50 Roman Catholic Church entities associated with the settlement agreement were required to pay $29 million to the Aboriginal Healing Foundation which would be used for community healing programs.[11] There has been debate about the Church's obligations to pay this amount and in 2013 the Canadian government pursued legal action for $1.6 million that the Catholic entities had not paid the Foundation.[12][13]

Throughout its operation the Foundation received $515 million from the Government of Canada. The Foundation also generated $537,146,681 in interest on this funding which was further used to fund community projects.[14] In 2010 funding for the Aboriginal Healing Foundation was cut by Stephen Harper's conservative government.[15] This cut in funding resulted in the closure of the Foundation in 2014.[16][17] It also resulted in the discontinuation of funding to many community based healing initiatives and the closure of many healing programs regionally in Canada.[18][19] Following the closure of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation its research library, records, and archives were donated to the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre at Algoma University.[20]

Funded Community Projects

The first funding cycle of the Foundation operated in the form of a call for proposals that was sent out on December 3, 1998.[21] The call was open to communities and survivor groups and focused on three thematic areas of programming: 1) Developing and Enhancing Aboriginal Capacity and Community Therapeutic Healing; 2) Healing Centers; 3) Restoring Balance, Honour, and History. This first batch of funding resulted in $19.4 million being awarded to projects across Canada.[22] Funded community groups included:[23][24][25]

Funding Evaluation

During its operation the Aboriginal Healing Foundation funded over 1,500 community based healing initiatives.[26] The Foundation was subject to government funding audits and the Foundation also conducted community based program evaluations of the initiatives which received funding.[27][28] The 2009 Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) evaluation of the Foundation programming reviewed the administration files of Foundation funded projects; conducted staff and subject expert interviews; and conducted community case studies which included interviews with healing project participants.[29][30] The evaluation found the Foundation had been very successful in administering funding and contributing to community healing but that there was still much ongoing work in communities to be done. INAC also indicated that there was a strong need for community based healing initiatives to continue and recommended continued funding of the Foundation.[31]

Research Mandate

In addition to funding community based healing initiatives the Aboriginal Healing Foundation had a research mandate that was dedicated to creating a knowledge base relating to the long term community and health impacts of residential schools.[32] This research mandate was outlined in the 1998 agreement that the Foundation signed with the Government of Canada and resulted in the Foundation seeking out researchers, scholars, and authors to write publications on residential schools, reconciliation, health, and other issues.[33]

The first research director of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation was Gail Guthrie Valaskakis (2000-2007).[34] Following the death of Valaskakis in 2007, Jonathan Dewar served as research director from 2007 to 2012.[35] As a result of the work of research branch of the organization published numerous books, including:

-   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -

In addition to the publication of books the Aboriginal Healing Foundation maintained a research library. Named after the first research director the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, the Gail Guthrie Valaskakis Memorial Resource Library is a special collections library focused on residential schools, healing, reconciliation, and Indigenous people.[36] The library contains over 6,000 unique items including video, books, research materials, and project reports. The contents of the library was donated to the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre in 2011 following the announcement of funding cuts to the Foundation.[37][38][39]

“Do you remember that time that you and I drove around looking at green hills, and we hooked up, our bodies entangled in a kaleidoscope of shapes and movements?   We had taken my mother’s Jeep Cherokee to the end of the road and then hiked along the Caney Fork.  You made me bring a full backpack stuffed with your favorite blanket, and a shit ton of rubbers, I mean, so many that there was no possible way we were going to use them all.  You said we would, and you did that smile you always did when you were up to something.  Your lip curled in the corner, and your teeth just barely peeked through their coral covers.  You forced me to carry the backpack because after all, ‘I was such a big, strong man.’

“I was barely a man at all, more like a boy.  I was twenty, and we had only been dating for four months.  This is going to sound childish, but, I was so excited that I was able to get laid that those first few months were a complete blur.  I remember this moment so clearly though.  It’s surprising what sticks with you.  Anyways, we had hiked along the Caney Fork and made it to Scott’s Gulf.  Remember that waterfall? And how it snuck out of the canyon wall, came out, fell, and when it finally reached the bottom it snuck back into the ground?  Goddamn, it was almost as beautiful as you were that night.  The water was so clear.

"We laid the blanket down, wrapped in each other’s arms, and stared at the waterfall for what felt like ages.  There was something hypnotizing about it.  You turned away from the water and towards me.  You whispered in my ear, ‘Is it going to be like this forever?’ I was staring at the sky, which was melding colors like melting Neapolitan ice cream.  I hesitated, thinking about it for a second, you might not have known that, but I was young, and I’m sure you’ve had the same thoughts before too.  ‘Yeah, I think so.’ I responded, the words seem so far from me now, like it was a totally different conversation than what I remember.  You kissed me on the cheek and said, ‘I hope you’re right.’ I turned and kissed you on the lips, before I knew it we were a sweaty mess of skin, and shapes.

"We eventually headed home; you fell asleep in the passenger seat with your feet on the dash, and your hand clutching mine.  That day was so passionate, and uncanny, so unlike us now.  It’s not the same as when we were younger. Maybe we can rekindle those feelings.  I want to make love to you, not just love you.   We could go back, maybe, and hike along the Caney Fork.  What do you say?”

       “That wasn’t me.”

text:
	Long ago, there was a beautiful winter day, the sun shone bright and sparkling white snow lay undisturbed across the ground, silencing the world which it covered. It was on this day that I decided to take a long walk in the woods outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.
	As  I walked in the woods, I came upon an elder tree who had lived a great many years and whose bark harbored a great number of wounds. I brushed the thick, gleaming snow off of the tree’s tangled roots, which spread far and deep in all directions. Unto the roots I sat, and the tree accepted me as a friend upon its lap, though he knew not who I was or of what nature my intentions were. Naught else in this world would have ever accepted me so quickly and graciously, let alone trusted me so easily.
	For many hours there I sat, nurtured and nestled deep in the ancient and deep-reaching roots. In my time sat comfortably upon the tree I asked in a hushed tone what the tree had seen and felt in his many years, seated forever upon the land where he stood. The tree answered in words of silence, and by it I was taught to listen with my eyes, not my ears.
	‘I have been built upon.’ said he with the rotting plank in his branches; with the scars in his skin he said ‘I have been wounded.’; ‘I have been shelter for many lives.’ he said with the hole in his trunk and the abandoned birds-nest in his uppermost branch. He spoke very little, yet told very much.
	‘I have travelled far,’ I said in reply. ‘I have been very many places, yet I fear I have seen less than you have, though you are rooted in this singular area. I have found little happiness to no avail, and I am plagued by my solitude which hangs over my head as a metal weight. I am not so wise as you are, my time is short on this planet and I, who has been born before you, is fated to die before you. I fear whether the choices I make in my life will be ill choices.’ I said, despair was shown so heavily in my voice.
	The tree listened well, and said nothing.
	‘I have no one on this earth who listens so well as you, tree.’
	The tree said naught, though I waited in vain for many hours.
	No advice was given to me that day, the tree never responded, but it held me tightly in its roots and I felt warm inside, despite the cold weather. The tree accepted me blindly, as nothing else would, or possibly ever will, it had done enough for me. Perhaps this tree had helped others, such as it had helped me; it had taken me in my pity.
	I walked to the woods that day with only the intention of feeling the cold air nip at my exposed skin; I left the woods that day enlightened, inspired by the kindness and unconditional love which the tree so openly gave out. I was changed, by something so simple as the comfort of a tree. Love can be found in the simplest things, I learned that day, and we are never alone so long as we choose to see the life around us.

   They were sitting on the floor playing video games, laughing about how terrible she is at the game. She watched his face light up with a laugh and it was as though time slowed down. She saw his smile spread through his lips, up to his eyes. It seemed genuine. In this moment, like each time they talk, Charlotte had a crippling fear that bubbled within her throat; it was as though her mind will have the words planned out, but her heart will say something entirely different. Do something different, something bad. Something that could be so detrimental to her social life, ripping it from its very roots and throwing it into a deep valley of Netflix and takeout on a Saturday night. Each time they come face to face, this very threat is there. One mistake, one wrong look could change things forever. She knew this was long coming, this love that was built upon drunken nights, early mornings, awful professors, and ever-lasting sexual tension—a love that came to be in college.

   Freshman year is where it all started for Charlotte. It was an innocent encounter, a merging of two groups of friends the first night of college. She ended up in his room, in Henry’s room, that night with several other people they had met. From there, it was inevitable. She had been used to busy day in high school, full of class, extracurricular activities, and of course studying. He was used to school and studying, and a strict social life, or lack thereof. So when the two finally emerged from their tight schedules of high school, they landed into this world of empty hours and open bars. The only thing that stopped this pair from sprinting into a whirlwind relationship was the fact that Henry had a girlfriend, a girl whom Charlotte actually knew from elementary school. Henry and her had been together for at least a year prior to entering this extraordinary life that is college.

   Having a girlfriend never stopped this friendship. He always texted Charlotte, asking if she was free for dinner, or wanted to study together. This trend continued for so long, so many of those empty hours were spent together doing nothing; playing video games, talking about nonsense. Soon they grew so comfortable together, their conversations changed. They drifted from discussions based around schoolwork and friends, to the girlfriend and sex. Oh, the conversations about sex were in plenty, he knew what she liked and what she wanted. She knew what he had trouble with in regards to his girlfriend, and she ever so dutifully gave him advice to help the couple in bed.  The advice about the girlfriend was not limited to sexual advice however. Henry asked Charlotte about real, emotional relationship issues. She actually had the opportunity to tell him to break up with the girlfriend several times, but she stayed true to being his friend and helped work them out.
While sex, or at least the intriguing topic of sex, was a prominent focus in their friendship, the conversations about themselves and family are what stood out the most. She talked about her depressed father, and how that put such a strain on her family. He held her when she cried about losing a friend. She smiled and laughed and he talked about his old pets, and his cute sister. It took him longer though, longer to open up to her. He told her that she was the only one to know some things about him. About how he had been depressed for so long, how he hates being alone, how very few things make him happy. She wanted to make him happy, she wanted to be the reason he smiled. She saw him smile and laugh so often, but she could only wonder if it was all an act, or if she did in fact make him laugh. He did not know though, he was unaware of the things she wished for, oblivious to how he made her feel.

   This unawareness that Henry held in regards to Charlotte was obvious by his manners, if only he knew how she felt. Sometimes the two would walk into an empty room and he would declare that they should fuck. It was all a joke of course, a joke to him. To her, it was as though someone was slowly breaking her heart—anyone could see it behind her plastered on smile, not Henry though. He became her worst enemy and her ultimate fantasy all rolled into one. She wanted him to be so much, to be there for her in a way that means more than friendship, to make her smile and cry with joy. She knew in her heart that he would never be those things.

   Charlotte was aware that he was sexually attracted to her, he was never vague about that. One night, she confessed to him that while she joked about sex all the time, all she really wanted was love. He said he understood and they chatted about it for a while. Later that same night though, he told her about how he and his roommate had come to the decision that Charlotte would be a solid lay. Such conversations were not unusual. Once, when they were gathered with a group of friends, they jokingly speculated on whether or not Henry and Charlotte would make a good couple. Henry stated that they would, at least for a month because it would all be physical. Each one of these was a blow to her. A reminder that he did not see her as anything more than a friend and would never be anything more than that.

   All of these memories came crashing back to Charlotte as she watched him laugh while playing video games. It  has been over a year and it is time for her to move on, she knows that because they’re friendship will never be more than what it is. From their first meeting, it was inevitable, not friendship nor love, but heartbreak.
