Hawai'i should know that this policy includes the Akaka Bill:
American Lutheran Developments in their Historical Context -- Some Major Landmarks
1871
Senate declares that Indian nations will no longer be recognized as independent powers with whom treaties can be contracted. 1871: As part of President U. S. Grant's so-called "peace policy," 71 Indian agencies are assigned to various denominations. This was meant to end corruption in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and assign Christian missionaries the task of working with the tribes. The Lutheran churches were assigned the Sac and Fox Reservation, now the Mesquakie Indian Reservation near Tama, Iowa.

This is all part of the U.S. racist WASP Manifest Destiny doctrines as being ordained by Divine Providence= the WASP Christian name for GOD. This is suppose to give them jurisdiction over all non-whites and their civilization, culture, government, and sovereign independence as a nation-state.
This White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) ethnocentric society known as the United States of America (Haole Melika) constantly exercises this belief and adopts paternalism and imperialistic pursuits in its expansionism program to commit ethnocide, genocide, and hegemony to economically control the world's market to subjugate it to the whims of the elite corporate few.
The U.S. flagrantly uses disingenuous semantics to sound benign in what is an iniquitous intention. A glib pitchman could not do better than this sales and marketing scheme.
Many bona fide Hawaii citizens of the still-existing Kingdom of Hawai'i have become ignorant of their status, rights, and freedoms do suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome and forced assimilation under the U.S. belligerent occupation.
To clarify, under the law of occupation, there are many violations continuously violated by the U.S. in Hawai'i and part of it is that hostile occupies/settler U.S. citizens should not have been allowed to relocate in occupied territory as residents and they do not have Hawai'i's legal citizenship but remain U.S. citizens.
Neither can the U.S. force-relocate our Hawai'i subjects to their country (e.g. prisons or adoptions of our children). These are also in violation of the law of occupation.
Our international status as a neutral nation since 1854 is being violated by the U.S. consistently since 1893. It would be good to review the law of occupation and the law of neutrality to understand the extent of the violations committed against the Kingdom of Hawaii and its subjects which affect its nationalism and citizenry which is still in effect.
Stripping away confidence and instilling hopelessness is a tool the U.S. uses in promoting the Akaka Bill (HR 2314/S 1011). We shouldn't fall prey to this nefarious bill and actions to divest us of our superior rights. Our natural laws should precede the positive laws created by the U.S. and the Hawaiian Kingdom's positive laws supersede that which the U.S. attempts to replace.
As subjects of the still-existing Kingdom of Hawai'i, we citizens/nationals must rebuke this fallacious stance the U.S. is taking to govern us as wards of its empire. Compliance to the Akaka Bill is not an option; U.S. de-occupation of Hawai'i is the only option.

A Case for Reparations for Native Hawaiians
by Karen N. Blondin
" As time passed, the Federal Government began to encroach upon the internal sovereignty that they had allowed the Indians to keep. In 1834, Congress created the bureau of Indian Affairs (hereinafter "BIA") and after 1837, Indians no longer received direct payment for land ceded or sold--Congress providing that proceeds of such sales to be kept in the Treasury and distributed for Indian benefit. Congress continued to pass other measures narrowing the Indians' ability to determine their future or maintain tribal autonomy. Finally, in the Indian Appropriations Act of 1871, Congress legislated away an Indian Tribe's rights to contract with the United States by treaty. Thus began a new period wherein Indian tribes were controlled by unilateral agreements and statues, and denied much of the sovereign status previously enjoyed."
