Of the 40,000 non Kingdom subjects in Hawai`i at the time of the illegal 1898 overthrow, only 1,928 or so were US nationals as documented by the 1900 census.They represented less than 3% of the entire population.The rest of the non US aliens were not supportive of the illegal annexation of Hawai`i by the US.The resulting illegal "Republic of Hawai`i" had less than 2,000 citizens.This means that less than 3% of the population, US aliens, hijacked the Hawaiian Nation against the wishes of almost everybody else.
It's true that there were Hawaiians (nationals) that supported the overthrow, as stated here a very tiny percentage. And most that support the Akaka Bill out of ignorance, but those 2 shouldn't be compared as equal.
ALOHA Kakou, It is time that Hawaiians understand that there were Hawaiians who supported the 1898 Overthrow. There were Hawaiians on the Queen's Cabinet who supported the 1898 Overthrow. Just as there are Hawaiians today who continue to support the Overthrow with their support of the AKaKa BILL. Hawaiians who are in political positions to those right in the movement for Independence.
Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom, o Pomai
