THINK HAWAIIANS WILL BE BETTER OFF UNDER US FEDERAL RECOGNITION?
By Joe Sexton
"...In any event, it is alarming to still see the lack of regard for the rights of American Indian people interwoven through these proposed regulations. It is more troubling to consider the potential havoc these new rules may wreak on Indian Country. Hopefully these proposed regulations do not become law in such a way that allows the United States to, yet again, tranquilly and legally deprive the first Americans of their land rights."
