U.S. WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE ABORIGINAL RIGHTS ARE BETTER THAN KINGDOM RIGHTS
January 2006 Testimony Presented To The U.S. Civil Rights Commission By Robert K. Fukuda -
I was Deputy Attorney General of the Territory of Hawai`i from 1953 to 1959.
During that time, I was the attorney for the Hawaiian Homes Commission, an agency that managed and supervised the use of lands allocated to native Hawaiians for residential and agricultural uses....
This Akaka bill proposes to create a government whose citizens would be restricted to persons whose ancestry includes any amount, however small, of blood quantum of natives who lived in the Hawaiian Islands before the discovery of the Islands by English explorer Captain James Cook in 1778.
This is beyond any serious debate an attempt to create a race-based nation and government....
Throughout the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom, there was never any constitutional or Legislative restriction of Hawaiian citizenship to persons of Hawaiian descent....
If it is the purpose of the Congress to make amends for the annexation of Hawai`i, then the appropriate action would be to kill this bill and enact a reparations bill with programs and benefits for descendants of all the people who were living in Hawai`i at the time of annexation....
Remember - Kingdom Rights Are Always Greater Than Aboriginal Rights - Don't Be Fooled!
