They fell into obscurity before re-entering the consciousness of the lāhui in 1998 when scholar Noenoe K. Silva found them at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eToday, the Kū‘ē Petitions are as important to the lāhui as when they were originally signed. Kū‘ē Petitions: A Mau Loa Aku Nō features all of the petitions in brilliant full-color; compelling essays by Kanaka Maoli authors Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwo‘ole Osorio, Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio, Nālani Minton, and Noenoe K. Silva; and a location-based index to help readers look up their ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA portion of the proceeds of this book will benefit Hawai‘i Peoples Fund and Native Hawaiian Legal Corp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Native Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36094496997541,"sku":"NBINC-1009","price":148.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/6984\/5804\/files\/Pop-Up-Makeke-Native-Books-Kue-Petitions-A-Mau-Loa-Aku-No-Hardcover-Book-Front-View.jpg?v=1716841695","url":"https:\/\/nameahawaii.com\/products\/native-books-kue-petitions-a-mau-loa-aku-no-hc","provider":"Nā Mea Hawai'i","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
