Associated Press - February 27, 2015
While in Washington, Hawai`i governor David Ige met with Sally Jewell, the secretary of the interior, who said the department is working on sorting out legal issues regarding whether Native Hawaiians could be federally recognized.
"I had expressed to her that I believe that it's very important that the Native Hawaiian community be given the time to determine what the nature of their sovereign nation should be," Ige said.
