If the Akaka Bill were to pass (let's all work hard so it doesn't), Hawaiians/Kanaka Maoli would then come UNDER the D.O.I. (dept. of Interior). Look carefully at this video and insert the words "native hawaiians" when they say "tribes" or "indians tribes". Horrifying. The gross injustice towards the original inhabitants of the North American Continent/ Native Americans...will be echoing throughout OUR remote islands. We cannot afford to lose this battle.Donna------------------http://www.senate.gov/fplayers/I2009/urlPlayer.cfm?fn=indian073009&st=1100&dur=5582------------------
When we relcaim our NATION, this bill will not be a problem. Until until then, the po'e will suffer under the "Arms of the United States with a bill like this."
Isn't it time to do what is right which is provided under international law. We are still an independent NATION. I think the question is, "Is our people ready to run their own government?" Choices are simple, but you can call yourself an American if you choose, however by birth you are a Hawaiian National. What ever the choice may be, so be it. There are many scholarly work written by na haumana (student) about this issues. It is time to CRAP the AKAKA Bill and return to our inherent rights of an Independent NATION!
