Akaka's Hawaiian Sovereignty Plan a Bad Idea

Sovereignty for Hawai'i!

You are precisely right. Hawai'i's "sovereignty" plan is a horrible idea. But I do not say this because the Native people do not deserve their sovereignty, but because the bill does not give them enough sovereignty! The United States ILLEGALLY overthrew the just and sovereign kingdom of the Hawaiian people in the name of greedy business interests! The 1993 Apology Resolution attests to this fact.

Kenneth Conklin stop trying to deceive the public with your revisionist history of the Hawaiian situation. Most, if not all, credible scholars, including both Native Hawaiian and non-Hawaiians, agree that the United States illegally overthrew the Hawaiian kingdom.

Hawaii should not be considered on par with the indigenous peoples of America (I am not saying that Hawaiians are better than them). The Kingdom of Hawaii was a sovereign state recognized by the major powers of the time including America! There was no immediate physical threat to American interests in Hawai'i so American soliders should not have invaded the palace and overthrew the sovereign Queen. Shame on those imperialists!

Queen Lili'uokalani was just in trying to promulgate a new constitution because the Bayonet one did not give justice to the sovereign head of Hawai'i and her beloved people. Stop spreading your racist creed against Hawaiians. Have you or any of your supporters no shame or decency to give respect the indigenous peoples? How dare you come to Hawai'i and insult the aboriginal peoples by accusing them of being racist in trying to re-assert their inherent right to sovereighty! Hawaiian history has already been written and the truth already revealed. Stop spreading your racist imperialist American agenda.

There can be no justice in acquisition of sovereignty if there was no justice in initial acquisition. The native people of Hawai'i did not directly relinquish their claims to their land or inherent sovereignty. It was taken by them by itinerant business and American imperialists.

How can the so-called America claim to be a just moral authority and promoter of justice and freedom when she will not herself acknowledge the stolen sovereignty of Hawai'i and other Pacific nations? Hypocrites! America is a colonizer and empire-mongerer!

Hawaii is still a colony of the United States and needs to be put back on the UN list of non-governing territories.

Indian tribal sovereignty

When US citizenship was offered to the Indians in 1926, it should have been done on the same basis as any other person becoming a citizen of the US after being a citizen of another nation, i.e., they should have been required to renounce allegiance to their tribe. Indians not wishing to do so could have remained members of their sovereign tribal nation, but not become US citizens. I could possibly support Senator Akaka's proposal if it had such an either/or clause.
