You're still buying into colonialism which detracts from what actually happened in Hawai'i. After the invasion and belligerent occupation, there was forced assimilation and not colonialization. Many make the mistake speaking within the context of colonialism as if our status was the same as native Americans When the Western World invaded the Americas looking for that route to India. Let's not play their game and use their colonial semantics.
As a member of the Family of nations of which the U.S. was a part of, it was a recognized country that invaded andother recognized country. This is what Hitler did; not Columbus. However, the U.S. did use the Manifest Destiny Christian doctrines created by the Church of Rome's Papal Bulls to use against any non-white race or country.
There were unrecognized countries and recognized nations. Hawaii was a recognized nation. With the unlawful invasion, came forced assimilation in 1898 to the present day. The misnomer is that Hawai'i was colonized. Let's be clear about this and eliminate any colonialization semantics and thought process. We are a nation belligerently occupied by the U.S. with it's civilian arm at the helm governing over Hawai'i.
Also, we are not indigenous; we are Hawai'i nationals, citizens and subjects of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. Indigeneity is our internal kuleana and not that of the U.S. or any other nation.
I was reading ref. 07-1372 towards the end, thanks for the citation. Have a good night rest! Kaohi
