99% Of All Hawaiians Did Not Want The U.S. To Annex Hawai`iDid You Know?-In 1897 and 1898, 99% of all Native Hawaiians throughout all the islands, signed a petition to U.S. Congress asking that the U.S. not annex Hawai`i.This petition was rediscovered in the U.S. Archives only within the past 10 years, and today's Hawaiians were proud to find the signatures of their ancestors on this document.See It Here
I found my ohana on this document. Alot of familiar names from Kaupo to Ke'anae. And yes, there is a sense of pride to know that because if we were there we would sign the petition.
