DOES THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM STILL EXIST?

The Maui News - May 8, 2009The writer of an April 23 letter stated "The kingdom was extinguished . . . by dejure recognition of a new government of Hawai`i in 1894."No nation explicitly recognized the Republic of Hawai`i as the dejure government. They only acknowledged the fact of the republic's actual control. De facto is defined as "In fact a state of affairs which must be accepted for all practical purposes but is illegal or illegitimate."The Hawai`i Kingdom wasn't "extinguished per 1893 law...."...The writer is correct is saying "the kingdom was not a wholly Native Hawaiian entity." The Hawaii Kingdom's existing claims are based on nationality, not ethnicity.Therefore the Akaka Bill's attempts to reduce legitimate international kingdom claims to a race-based domestic dependent entity are worse than "nonsense."This violates the U.S. Constitution, present day international law and the rights of all kingdom subjects and their Hawai`i-born descendants.Dan TaylorHaiku, Maui

  • Ironically like I have told some people when I had a background check done I listed "Hawaiian Kingdom" and "American" as my citizenship. They accepted it and whenever some people try to tell me otherwise... I still do not listen LOL

    I'll have to remember to do that in the future. Eo e na lii kukae popolo like me Kawahineheenalu. ;)

    We cannot listen to those who mean us harm and/or those who want to take what does not belong to them. It seems as though they feel they are "losing" something when really... it was never theirs to begin with. Meanwhile... I laugh when some people tell me that it no longer exists.

  • On May 19 I'll be appearing in the State Court for being arrested for driving without the State of Hawaii rregulations. I'll be there in Court as a Hawaiian Kingdom National. Yes the Hawaiian Kingdom Lives and how many Kanaka Maoli Hawaii has gone home to the Hawaiian Kingdom. Giving her the Life that she needs to be a Free Nation once more. Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom. o Pomai
