In regards to Richard Hillman's letter (Sept. 2), I find it amazing how people justify an illegal action with the mindset that if America didn't take Hawai`i then someone else would have.
I know some people who really feel that way and that is why they think it's a good thing that the Hawaiian people's government was overthrown by the United States of America. This is how they justify stealing.
If America hadn't taken Hawai`i, we may be under the control of Japan, France, England or Russia. But we are not. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, America sent in troops along with other countries to liberate Kuwait. Tell me what is the difference?
The Hawaiian government at the time of its overthrow was recognized by the world as a sovereign nation. If we still had control of our kingdom in 1942, I'm certain that America and its allies would have sent in troops as they did in the rest of the Pacific to stop Japan from getting closer to North America.
Yes, it's a fact that America stole Hawai`i and we are now a part of the United States. The part that Hawaiian people have a hard time understanding is if I steal from you, I will be prosecuted under the law, but if you stole from me it's OK because some other country would have done it. What a great concept.
...a Kahului resident, whose great-great-grandfather helped draft 1839 documents of the Hawaiian kingdom, said he opposes the Akaka Bill "mind, body and soul."
"The Akaka Bill is a race-based bill," said Foster Ampong, an advocate for Hawaiian independence. "Because you're talking about Native Hawaiians, as defined by law - 50 percent or greater Hawaiian blood."
Ampong said the Akaka Bill does not address the most critical legal issue for Hawaiians - nationhood.
"The Akaka Bill is another attempt at creating a fraud or appearance that the Hawaiian Islands and people were acquired by the US lawfully - and in essence and in fact it wasn't," he said.
"For me, it's my passion. It's what I really, sincerely believe - We are Hawaiian nationals, not just Native Hawaiians by blood or ethnicity. . . . We have our very own bill of rights that formed our lahui, our nation," Ampong said.
Likewise, another Akaka Bill opponent points out that the kingdom of Hawai`i had a relationship as a co-equal with "England, France, Russia, Belgium, Netherlands, all the powers of the world."
Kaleikoa Ka`eo, Hawaiian studies instructor at Maui Community College, said of the Akaka Bill - "I am actively involved to organize against its passage" because the bill would diminish Hawai`i's international standing, making it "go to the back of the line" and give up a status it already had.
"It's like saying you attained citizenship - and now you give yourselves the right to attain a green card as an alien," he said.
For Ka`eo, a major issue "is that the so-called Akaka Bill provides no land, not one acre of land, and no access to water - that's not really self-determination," he said....
