AKAKA BILL REINTRODUCED INTO US CONGRESS
US Senate and House sponsors introduced the Akaka bill today which would create a process to legitimize the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The legislation, if passed, would perfect all land title in Hawai`i, seal the theft of lands seized during the overthrow, and legally cover over all illegal acts by the US both during the overthrow and during the fake statehood vote in 1959.
There would be no legal recourse for recovery.
The Akaka bill would also designate native Hawaiians as "indians" or wards of the US federal government and place them on reservations.
Felons currently incarcerated in US federal prisons also enjoy the status of wards.
Typically native peoples who enter into such an agreement with the US federal government end up with less than two percent of their lands, little money and no legal recourse for recovery.
