`IOLANI PALACE NOT A MONUMENT, BUT A LIVING LEGACY
Hawai`i National Speaks Out On Proposed New Restrictions Designed To Keep Hawaiians Out
...Do not for a moment think we are thugs or an unruly mob that we would show disrespect for the palace or its grounds which is part of our home.
To picture us as such destructive people is to promote the character-assassination propagated by the racist WASP missionaries and US Americans to feel righteous about their stealing our country.
As a Hawai`i national of the Kingdom of Hawai`i, I take umbrage at your insinuations that we would behave as in the manner of the haole and destroy our living symbol of independence and nationhood....
How dare you attempt to bar us from being there on the palace grounds. We have every right to be there as Hawai`i nationals of the Kingdom of Hawai`i who never relinquished our inherent rights....
