A DIVIDED HAWAI`I ?
ONLY IF FEDERAL RECOGNITION PASSES!
On January 18th, the Associated Press reported "Hawai`i Sen. Daniel K. Akaka warned fellow senators that failure to adopt his bill to grant Native Hawaiians federal recognition could lead to a 'divided Hawaii.'"
Here's One Hawaiians Reply -
Your article spins the truth of how things are in Hawai`i.
What Akaka states in this article is an old argument several months old.
In truth, this bill has already divided some Hawaiians and if passed, it will further divide the Hawaiian community.
Our struggle for US deoccupation and restoring our national independence is one that has continued since the US belligerent invasion of 1893.
Our Ku'e Petitions have been suppressed and ignored then as our protests have been ever since to today.
The more people learn the truth, the more they want the US to deoccupy Hawai`i.
Hawai`i has a very strong case to that effect and is asking for justice.
The Akaka Bill is a US domestic bill they want to pass into law for native Hawaiians while ignoring the bonafide 16% of non-Hawaii descendants of Hawaii's Nationals and citizens.
We were not a tribal group but national citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
We never gave up our rights to it and we won't now.
We love our country as much as US Americans love theirs.
It's time to pay the piper and deoccupy Hawai`i.
