Louis "Buzzy" Agard is a Kamehameha School for Boys 1942 alumni who was, while still in school, activated by the US army and began active duty on December 7, 1941 soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thrown into the fray with Kamehameha being a military institution at that time Agard became disenfranchised with the government and its treatment of native populations including Kanaka Maoli. Buzzy is a recognized Aloha Aina proponent who along with his Kamehameha and Redlands University classmate Richard Kekuni Blaisdell were instrumental in laying the foundation for what is known today as the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement. He can be found every week at the OHA Offices monitoring the latest going ons in our lāhui and providing an unwavering voice as to the position Hawaiians have and the efforts he believes need to be pushed in order for our political status as a free and independent nation to be realized.
In 1983 he wrote a book entitled, "Politics, Hawaiian Sandalwood Trees and Hope," which was amended in 2013 with some new and intriguing information as to the true going-ons of the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian constitutional monarchy as it pertains to the involvement of the US government. To date he has sold thousands of these books both here and abroad to tell the story of how Hawaii remains under illegal occupation, never having been annexed. His presentation tonight for our Prince Kūhiō Hawaiian Civic Club takes a rather recent event of the Japanese internment camps in Honoʻuliʻuli and poses a very interesting question; with precedent being set and the US compensating those who lost their independence through internment for 2.5 years being awarded damages of $20k, what would Hawaiians be entitled to for their 122 years of illegal occupation and not being able to live as free and independent citizens of their own country. The numbers by shear multiplication are noteworthy and when compounded interest is taken into account they are simply staggering.
