Remember, we already have sovereignty and this is not about koko; it is a nationality issue. We are Hawai'i nationals living within a mainstream Polynesian Hawaiian society. We're like any other sovereign nation in the world with external sovereignty which doesn't determine on ethnicity or race. Kamehameha is a private trust with its own policies it is not a governmental instrument; what the Princess chose to do with her money is her business. There are other ethnic groups out there that have philanthropists who have a similar trust for their own ethnic people but not as wealthy as the Bishop Estate. Other trusts are of special interests as well. None of them have anything to do with government nor national demands for purposes other than legal guidelines imposed. When one puts it in the right context, then many questions become moot.It's a misnomer to keep harping on sovereignty where it is a nationality issue. The U.S. misleads everyone into thinking the opaque definition of sovereignty is a quest we need to validate who we are and to protect ourselves within the U.S. system. Since we aren't part of them legally, our inherent rights as sovereign Hawai'i nationals are secured. They would like for us to believe otherwise and comply with their mythological posturing for control over us, our lands, resources, and governance. In truth, we are belligerently occupied by the U.S.A. who continuously violates the laws of occupation and who disregards our neutrality status. Thus the issue is the U.S. de-occupation of our country; to make restitution and reparations of its insidiously criminal actions.
