HAWAIIANS CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE AKAKA BILL
Dr. Kekuni Blaisdell, an advocate of native Hawaiian independence, said the bill attempts to describe native Hawaiians as indigenous to the United States.
"But we are not indigenous to the United States. We are a separate people. We are a nation that was invaded," he said.
Ikaika Hussey, who represents Hui Pu, a coalition of native Hawaiians who oppose the Akaka Bill, said, "The bill would not accomplish its stated goal, which is to protect Hawaiian rights, and what it will do is erode existing rights."
