FREEHAWAII.INFO PRESENTS THE TOP TEN REASONS TO JUST SAY "NO!" TO FEDERAL RECOGNITION, THE AKAKA BILL OR THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS’ ATTEMPT TO ENROLL NATIVE HAWAIIANS.
HERE'S REASON #2 -
#2 - If Hawaiians agree to federal recognition they are agreeing to give all power over their supposed “self-determination” to the US Secretary of the Interior and the US Congress FOREVER. In other words, “self-determination” as promulgated by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, the Department of Hawaiian Homelands and others really means the Hawaiian people agree to become subject to the needs and desires of whoever happens to get elected to the US Congress, and whoever the President of the United States assigns as Secretary of the Interior. Do you want to be counted among the first Hawaiians who would willingly surrender their freedom to the United States?
