HAWAIIAN NATIONALS STAND AGAINST FEDERAL RECOGNITION
Akaka Bill an exercise in smoke, mirrors and political clout

The Maui News - Thursday, April 28, 2005

There is much controversy about the Akaka Bill.

Kanaka Maoli [Native Hawaiians] need to make an educated, intelligent choice. So far we have been thrown to the wolves with the smoke and mirrors and political clout to dictate what is better for us.

I rebuke the seditious bill and hope Kanaka Maoli and other Hawai'i nationals will stand against it also. Why give the U.S. the whole pie so they can dish out the crumbs to us?

Under the international laws of occupation, the USA is obligated to ensure the welfare and rights of the Hawaiian subjects, no matter what ethnicity.

It is a nation that is being violated and not one ethnic group, albeit the Hawaiian Kingdom is of Kanaka Maoli origin, culture, heritage and society; those who were naturalized citizens of the kingdom embraced it and were loyal to it.

Common sense dictates this to be a national issue and not a predisposed archaic tribal formation. The choice is to remain Hawai'i nationals or to be American-Hawaiians.

It's time to step out of the delusional USA box and recognize who we really are.

The USA has already recognized us as a nation and needs us to recognize it as our lord and master. This I will not do, as my conscience mandates.

The words of U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton on Oct. 27, 1993, before the first session of the 103rd Congress: "The logical consequences of this resolution (Public Law 103-150) would be independence."

HERE'S THE EFFECT OF OVER A CENTURY OF US OCCUPATION IN HAWAI'I ON NATIVE HAWAIIANS

The Hawaiian people, have suffered since the first Western contact in 1778.

Western diseases, to which Hawaiians had no immunity, decimated their numbers.

At the time of western contact, some 800,000 people inhabited the Hawaiian Islands.

By 1805 that number had been halved. By 1853 there were only 71,000 Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian people in the islands.

Within 100 years of western contact, the Hawaiian population had been reduced by nearly 90 percent.

According to the 2000 census, the numbers of people who claim some native Hawaiian ancestry have increased to over 400,000. But only 239,000 live in Hawaii and they are the poorest, most locked-up population in the state.

Although they only make up about 20 percent of the state's population, in June 2001 they made up 39 percent of the state's prison population and 37 percent of the state's homeless population.

Independence is the only right to correct the wrongs.

WHAT ARE THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF SOVEREIGNTY AND SELF-DETERMINATION ?

1. A land base - the Hawaiian islands.

2. A distinct population - all peoples possessing the inherent right to the Hawaiian kingdom.

3. A Government - the government that was unlawfully overthrown.

4. Sovereignty itself and the right to exercise it. A place in the Family of Nations.

ALOHA MAI AND WELCOME ! -

IF YOU'RE VISITING FREEHAWAII.INFO FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Free Hawai'i means returning the Hawaiian Islands to an independent, sovereign nation status, like it was before it was illegally overthrown by US marines and rich sugar barons in 1893.

In 1993, President Clinton formally apologized for that act and publicly acknowledged the illegality of the overthrow.

WHY DO HAWAIIANS WANT THEIR NATION AND LAND BACK ?

Because today Native Hawaiians are at a criical juncture to survive as a people.

Because for foreign business interests it's a matter of profit and loss.
For Native Hawaiians it's a matter of life and death.

Because we seek to protect our natural resources.

Because while Native Hawaiian families are struggling to survive, their water is being shipped to the other side of the island so that housing and resorts can be built by rich foreigners.

Because it is our national inheritance - never given away by either native treaty or by native vote.

THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE ASKS, "WHY IS INDEPENDENCE BETTER FOR HAWAI'I THAN FEDERAL RECOGNITION," HERE'S WHAT TO TELL THEM -

Federal recognition (Akaka bill) is yesterday's solution.

It's thesis is again going hat in hand to the US federal government for help and turning Hawaiians inward and against each other in their own land.

For more than 100 years, this has not worked.

Instead, we can seize the opportunity to create a dynamic new nation through which we can maintain our culture and values, have more control over our future and be a leader among the pacific nations.

Let this be our legacy to our future generations.

WHAT DO HAWAIIANS WANT ?

HERE IS WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THEMSELVES, THEIR COUNTRYMEN AND THE UNITED STATES -

"The most common sense thing is for total independence.

We were a progressive modern nation of our time and recognized as a friendly, neutral nation within the Family of Nations, the predecessor of the League of Nations and the United Nations.

We had a democratic form of government, a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislative assembly. The works and legacies of our monarchs are legendary and noteworthy.

Today under the American system, we are concerned about our lands, culture, people and lifestyle which has been under attack for over a hundred years.

This gets us angry and more Hawaiians are desiring total independence as a result.

The Kingdom of Hawai'i is not only Native Hawaiians but subjects of non-Hawaiian blood who were legitimate subjects of the Kingdom. This racial argument is an American thing and not a Hawaiian thing.

So our concerns are well within our scope to protect all our subjects of the Kingdom. We do expect reparations and restitution from the US for the injurious damages to our nation, land and people.

The US government is well aware of this and is trying to offer a piecemeal to settle this. Other options are still on the table and we are beginning to take a stand on which option is the right thing to do.

If the tables were turned around; which would you do? I'm sure it wouldn't be a hard decision.

Remember, Hawaiians never hated Americans; but only those that did harm to us and the US government for its complicity and deceit.

We were never afraid that another country would take us over; we had over twenty-four treaties with various countries but the US is the only country that broke their treaties with us. "

That should tell you something.

FEDERAL RECOGNITION WILL NOT BRING JUSTICE TO HAWAIIANS

Honolulu Star-Bulletin - Monday, April 11, 2005

The Akaka bill -- will it pass? Likely.

A hundred years ago the Congress of the United States of America, deciding there was a need for a foothold in the Pacific, authorized the invasion, occupation and overthrow of the kingdom of Hawai'i.

Never mind that Hawai'i was a sovereign nation; the United States wanted the foothold and took it.

This action was an illegal act, which demands an accounting.

The Akaka bill provides for monetary compensation and segregated status, which, if accepted, could bring a form of legal closure. While acceptance may be considered an economic windfall, it is certainly not justice.

I say to the people who represent these islands, if you persist in believing that money is more valuable than justice, or that segregated status is a worthy substitute for nationhood, you are not being true to Hawai'i and, as important, and with vastly greater consequences for the future, not true to America.

First Visit To FREEHAWAII.INFO ?
Welcome!

FREEHAWAII.INFO is dedicated to restoring independence and sovereignty to the Hawaiian Islands.

In 1893, the independant nation of Hawai'i was illegally overthrown by rich American sugar barons and US marines.

Then President Cleveland condemned it by calling it "an act of war."

Did You Know? -

OVER 98% OF ALL NATIVE HAWAIIANS AND MOST NON-NATIVE SUBJECTS OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM WERE FULLY OPPOSED TO THE ILLEGAL OVERTHROW.

Today, those decendants of the Nation carry forth the voices of their ancestors and still oppose the illegal occupation of the US government in Hawai'i.

Hawai'i was a free nation - but never free for the taking!

WHO WINS IN A FREE AND INDEPENDENT HAWAI'I ? - EVERYONE !

One of the biggest lies perpetuated today is that when Hawai'i achieves nationhood once again it will be at the expense of everyone else.

But no one will be kicked out; their businesses seized or their homes and property confiscated. Instead, everyone, Hawaiians and all others, will be citizens of the sovereign and independent Nation of Hawai’i.

The Hawaiian Nation included people of many ethnic backgrounds that were loyal citizens before the illegal overthrow and it will be so again.

The truth is a sovereign Hawaiian nation will need the contributions and talents of all of its citizens to remain viable in the world. Hawaiians would be no better than the very supremacists that overthrew and occupied them were they to divide people by race.

Hawaiians have always been inclusive, not exclusive.

How would this be accomplished politically given a civil war resulted the last time a state tried to leave the US?

Unlike the southern US states, the Kingdom of Hawai’i and its citizens never agreed to become part of the United States in the first place. Therefore a move for Hawai’i to secede from the US would be both unnecessary and inappropriate.

Much like removing the top coat of paint to reveal the one underneath, the US Congress, after consultation between Hawaiians and the US at the level of state to state, could simply enact a US federal law that dissolves the entity known as the “state government” in Hawai’i.

What would be left in its place is what has existed all along anyway without interruption – the Nation of Hawai’i. Only at that point, would it be appropriate for the citizens of Hawai’i to decide their future as it relates to a relationship with the United States.

Those possibilities would include –

Full Independence - Joining once again the family of nations in the world.

Free Association – Much like Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia.

Integration with the US – Becoming a state or a tribe of the US under federal recognition.

Did you know that when Ronald Reagan was president, one of the most conservative US presidents in recent times, his administration actually granted the Marshall Islands independence in 1986, which then lead to a free association relationship with the US?

Precedent for Hawaiian independence exists right now within US law as outlined above. There are no laws that exist today within the US to prevent the US federal government from dissolving a state government. It is only fear and ignorance that holds the status quo in place.

HAWAI'I DESERVES INDEPENDENCE
The Maui News - Friday, March 25, 2005

We are not Native Americans. We want independence, not another government running our affairs in Hawaii.

Enough, Gov. Linda Lingle, Sens. Daniel Inouye and Dan Akaka, and even the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

I know that you all aren't looking out for the best of our people because if you were there would be no more houseless kanaka maoli [Native Hawaiians] on the beaches and streets. They would have a house to call home and not a waiting list.

How many of our kupuna [elders] died waiting?

The Indians and Eskimos have gotten recognition that made them slaves again to the de facto government. They became dependents to the United States.

Do we want that? I pray not.
