KE AUPUNI UPDATE - AUGUST 2024
Can Hawaii Function as an Independent Country?
Yes! Like many other small countries, Hawaii can function very nicely as an independent nation. As a pre-existing sovereign country, the Hawaiian Kingdom’s structural foundations for self-governance are still intact with its constitution, treaties, session laws, civil codes, etc.
Most of the systems, infrastructures, mechanisms necessary to run a modern, fully functioning nation are already in place, right now… currently operating as the so-called “State of Hawaii”.
The lands and natural resources, although strained by abuses from foreign occupation, are still here. Best of all, Hawaii has a wealth of talented, motivated and loving people.
Think of it as a change of management — transitioning from being American-operated to being Hawaiian-operated. We would not have to re-build the entire operating system from scratch or even put it through major overhaul. The transition can be done with minor tweaks as a smooth and orderly change of management… with a friendly management style.
Management Hawaiian-style would be people-friendly, infusing values like Aloha Aina into the operations of governance, economics, education, food production, land management, security and other vital national functions.
YES! We can do this! Our kupuna crisscrossed the vast Pacific Ocean in great voyaging canoes made of wood and leaves! They operated a productive, fully sustainable agricultural system that would be the envy of the world today… and kept their people well-fed.
While the rest of the peoples and nations of the world were falling to colonialism and imperialism the Hawaiian Kingdom became a profoundly Christian nation, established a constitutional monarchy, had the highest rate of literacy in the world, established a public education system, and gained recognition and respect from all the great powers of the world as an enlightened, sovereign, independent, benevolent, peace-loving country.
So, YES! We can do this!
“Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani
