Food for thought: How about we eliminate the word for sovereignty in our arguments. We are sovereign and our movement is national. We are not indigenous we are nationals of our country. Do the British say the Anglo-Saxons are indigenous people to their country? Why accept a racist subjugating terminology of who we are? Why comply to their ethnocentric definitions? Are we to accept the western terminology of who we are?It's like when a mother gives birth to her baby and nutures it as it grows, one does not decide that the baby doesn't exist and try to shove it back into the mother's womb. The baby is out! You cannot shove it back in and say it never happened. That's the way it is with our sovereignty as a nation. Once you are a recognized "player" internationally, no one can rescind that recognition unless you voluntarily merger with another country. Your persona is still recognized.What we are dealing with is de-occupation and preserving our neutrality status. We should NOT defend ourselves by standing inside the nefarious U.S. box of their perverse definitions and word-games to comply with their indian tribal American indigenous nation within a nation bullshit as if we are any less than they. They are our equals and they are just as good as we are; no better and no worse.We ARE Hawaii Nationals and proud of it. We are not fighting for sovereign recognition; we already have that. We are fighting for other countries to remove itself from our territory while being illicit controllers of our territory and people. The U.S. is guilty of continuous international violations and must de-occupy our country. They should be held accountable for their words, actions, and honor (if they ever had any). The U.S.A. is a rogue nation that needs to address its criminal behaviour and seditious actions. The shame and dishonor is theirs to atone and make restitution for their uncomely and uncivilized behaviour.It's a simple equation, that is logical and common sense that we should use the correct terminology; not one that they choose to apply to us. Why are we shashaying around their applied definitions? Tell it like it is. Think about it!Tane
Interesting. We should also stop using words like "mainland" to refer to the united states. I call all the haoles at work americans, so they know we are not of the same Nation. I think what we really need is more awareness, not just for Hawaiian Nationals, but for those who visit and/or move here. They've been brain-washed. It's not their fault, but it's our responsibility to try to educate them, show them the truth their nation is trying to bury.
