OHA Trustee Oswald Stender once said that Kau Inoa was designedto be the "roll" that is mentioned in the Akaka bill.This roll will be the register of the citizens of the "Native HawaiianGoverning Entity."In the Akaka bill,Hawaiians would only get to be a "governing entity" that is subservient to theplenary powers of the US congress.In other words - the "governing entity"will be a dependent government beholden to the US with the US callingall the shots.The Akaka bill process will allow Hawaiiansto transform the Hawaiian Kingdom - a member of theFamily of Nations - into a subservient "governing entity" of the US.The Akaka bill also allows for a negotiation to settle claims to the Kingdom'slands.Any lands that happen to be settled will be held intrust by the US like all Indian lands are. The US has not been aresponsible trustee for lands it has held in trust.The US presently has a clouded title to the so-called "ceded" lands - asthey were "ceded" to the US by the Republic of Hawai`i - that had no goodtitle.The Akaka bill will "perfect" the title to any and all of the cededlands that the US will retain.In other words, the Akaka bill will completethe annexation of the 1890s.In turn, Hawaiians will be wards of the US government. This is like trading"first class" citizenship for "second class" citizenship.However, if the US decides to "terminate" the "NativeHawaiian Governing Entity" at some later date - it can reverse the sovereigntyprocess, resulting in the conversion of all the "trust" lands into its ownfee-simple lands - resulting in the second theft of Hawaiian lands.Bottom line - Kau Inoa is part of the process to make Hawaiians into secondclass citizens of the US and to finish the theft of its lands.Ku ChingKamuela, Hawai`i
I would like some of the former OHA trustees or ANYONE else to look into the Bylaws and recall and replace some of those still on the board who are selling our kupunas' bones for a dollar.
