HAWAI'I NATIONALS SHOULD STAND AGAINST FEDERAL RECOGNITION
The Honolulu Advertiser - Sunday, May 8th
I hope the Hawai'i nationals will stand against the Akaka bill.
Why give the United States the whole pie so it can dish out the crumbs to us?
Under the international laws of occupation, theUnited States is obligated to ensure the welfareand rights of Hawaiian subjects, regardless of ethnicity.
It's a nation that's being violated, not one ethnic group, albeit the Hawaiian kingdom is of kanaka maoli [Native Hawaiian] origin, culture and society.
Common sense dictates this to be a national issue, not a predisposed archaic tribal group.
The choice is to remain Hawai'i nationals or to be Hawaiian Americans; so step out of the delusional U.S.A. box and recognize who we really are.
The United States has already recognized us as a nation and needs us to recognize them as our lord and master.
