CHEERS WHEN AKAKA BILL DISAPPEARS

Honolulu Star-Advertiser - December 25, 2010

Opponentsof the Akaka Bill were happy the measure died when the Senate adjournedlast week, but supporters remain hopeful Congress will eventually pass ameasure that grants federal recognition for native Hawaiians...


...Leon Siu, minister of foreign affairs for an entity calling itself the Hawaiian Kingdom, said he is pleased the bill died.


"Itis a totally inadequate remedy for the wrongs committed against theHawaiian people and taking of the Hawaiian nation. ... If the bill hadpassed, it would have immersed us further in the U.S. system."


Hesaid the real remedy is to "extricate ourselves from the U.S. systemand to restore the sovereignty and independence of the Hawaiian nation."
