Month: March 2017

While I was still at Standing Rock we planned Defund DAPL – we’d try to get Banks and institutions that financed the pipeline to withdraw their funds. I wrote some letters and emails and staged a little protest in front of our First Hawaiian Bank.

During our protest over 16 thousand dollars were withdrawn, and at least 6 letters were given to the branch manager, most addressed to the CEO

Instead of a cake I made lilikoi-chiffon pie. Later Leilani and Sophia made a cake and I cleaned a lot of messes :-)

Didi, Sophia Naia and Davey came to the party. The parents did not do their job, so there are no other photos of the party. The cake in this picture is the butter-pudding filled nut cake Sophia and Leilani made.

Sleepover in the tent!

The night after the sleepover we slept in the tent again. Andy, Sonja, Leilani, Jet, Julie and Bennu. After a while it got too much for Bennu though and he left.

Leilani broke her arm on Thanksgiving day in a bike accident, just as I was traveling home
