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 #7 -
7. This bill is designed to facilitate a land claims settlement for the nearly 2 million acres of “crown and government lands” renamed “ceded lands” when the US took control, and will transfer forever our legitimate claims to ownership over this land. Currently the Hawai’i state agency, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, is trying to make a deal with the state of Hawai’i to settle Hawaiian claims for these lands as soon as federal recognition happens. Do you want to be counted among the Hawaiians who are knowingly perpetrating the theft of the Hawaiian people’s national lands?
