Subject: HB 1660, Relating To Hawaiians, SUPPORT
ALOHA Kakou,
My name is Richard Pomaikaiokalani Kinney. On January 17, 1993 after reading Public Law 103-150 I renounced my citizenship to the United States. I come here today as a Hawaiian Nationalist of the Hawaiian Kingdom. I strongly support the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom government that was invaded and occupied thru an Act of War on January 16, 1893 with the involvement of the diplomatic and military forces of the United States.
As Sovereign of the Hawaiian Political Action Council of Hawaii, I strongly SUPPORT the intent and passage of HB 1660, Relating to Hawaiians.
United Nations has passed a “Declaration of the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples of the World.” Prior to the passage of this declaration the Indigenous Peoples of the World were not recognized in the United Nations’ “Declaration of Human Rights.” The Indigenous Peoples of the World were not recognized as Human Beings.
The Kanaka Maoli Hawaii are the Indigenous People of the Hawaiian Kingdom. When everyone walks on the lands of Hawaii today, you walk on the bones of the Kanaka Maoli Hawaii, the Indigenous People of the Hawaiian Archipelago.
When Hotels, Shopping Malls, Private Homes and roadways are being built and bones are found. They are the bones of the Indigenous People of this land, the Kanaka Maoli Hawaii.
Hawaii needs to join many States and Nations all over the world that have passed legislation that recognizes the Indigenous People of their States and Nations.
Recognizing the Kanaka Maoli Hawaii as the Indigenous People of Hawaii is a move in the right direction and is Pono.
Mahalo Nui to the introducers of the most important bill.
Once more, HPACH Strongly Supports the passage of HB 1660.
Mahalo for allowing me to give testimony on the Bill.
