A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to state recognition of the native hawaiian people, their lands, entitlements, health, EDUCATION, welfare, heritage, and culture.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to provide for the recognition of the Native Hawaiian people by the State of Hawaii and to implement that recognition by means and methods that will facilitate their self governance, including the establishment of or the amendment to programs, entities, and other matters that relate, or affect ownership, possession, or use of lands by the Native Hawaiian people, and by further promoting their entitlements, health, education, welfare, heritage, and culture.
In facilitating the establishment or amendment to programs, entities, and other matters, it is the intent of this Act that these programs, entities, and matters benefit the Native Hawaiian people to the greatest extent and at the earliest time possible by using and being guided by the history, heritage, and culture of the Native Hawaiian people and by using the laws of the United States of America and the State of Hawaii.
In addition, this Act also reaffirms the purposes set forth in the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920; the Admission Act of March 1959; together with sections 4 and 7 of Article XII of the Hawaii State Constitution, to:
(1) Manage and dispose of Hawaiian home lands to benefit the lessees of these lands;
(2) Convey and grant public lands known as "ceded lands" to the Native Hawaiian people; and
(3) Protect all rights, customarily and traditionally exercised for subsistence, cultural, and religious purposes and as possessed by ahupua‘a tenants who are descendants of Native Hawaiians who inhabited the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778.
SECTION 2. The Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920 shall be amended, subject to approval by the United States Congress, if necessary, to accomplish the purposes set forth in this Act in a manner that is expeditious, timely, and consistent with the current needs and requirements of the Native Hawaiian people.
SECTION 3. Chapter 10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding two new sections to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§10- Native Hawaiian corporation; establishment. The board shall establish the Native Hawaiian corporation, which shall be a body corporate and a public instrumentality of the State, for the purpose of receiving and managing:
(1) The public lands designated as "available lands" in section 203 of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920;
(2) The public lands conveyed to the State pursuant to section 5(f) of the Admission Act, and commonly referred to as "ceded lands"; and
(3) Any other lands to which Native Hawaiians and Hawaiians may be entitled for the benefit of Native Hawaiians.
These lands collectively shall be referred to as the Native Hawaiian lands.
§10- Native Hawaiian county corporations; establishment. The board shall establish one or more Native Hawaiian county corporations; provided that each corporation shall receive and manage through the Native Hawaiian corporation a portion of the Native Hawaiian lands that are located within the jurisdiction and control of the respective Native Hawaiian county corporation for the benefit of Native Hawaiians residing within the same jurisdiction and control of the respective Native Hawaiian county corporation."
SECTION 4. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date.
SECTION 5. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 6. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.

Replies
Both bills considered and similar are a scam, redundant, and contradictory as was the Akaka Bill. It still fosters the WASP racist Manifest Destiny doctrines imbued in the ethnocentric U.S. WASP mainstream society upon which the U.S. is based. The coconuts are sitting pretty and will benefit from the bills and for pecuniary reasons, power and control over the people whether they like it or not.
Why is it necessary to reaffirm what is already written into the State's Constitution other than to make more restrictions to limit its responsibility and enhance the elite's agenda. Check out also Article 10 section 4 on education, Article 12 on Hawaiian Homestead Commission Act, The nOrganic Act Section 73, the Admission Act of 1959 - Secttion 4 and Section 5 (f).
It's only a matter of reinforcing those sections. redefining or clarifying what's included makes it unnecessary to reaffirm those articles and sections imprinted in tho9se documents.
What needs to be done is to bring out the real issues determining the U.S. jurisdiction within the Hawaiian Kingdom. Although the U.S. admitted to its conspiracy and crime, it has not made restituttion or just resolution by de-occupying the existing Hawaiian Kingdom under the U.S. unlawfully belligerent occupation, crimes aggtainst the law of occupation and neutrality. The U.S. admitted the crime but refuses to make attrition and righting the wrongs it has committed.
The spin-masters of the fraud, deceit, and crimes are trying to validate its lawful existence which it hasn't, to establish a valid-like posture to make it relevant existence in Hawaii. Does the Bully continues its control over Hawaii?
