Akaka, Danner, Inouye, et al. want us to subscribe to the U.S. racist documents of Manifest Destiny that still exists today. How dare they! This is why they don't want our voices to be heard. On the U.S. continent, birth certificates do not have the category for native Hawaiian but its included under the heading of asian/pacific islanders. The world almanac editions published within the U.S. had already removed native Hawaiians as a separate group in the States census and included them under Asians and Pacific Islanders category for at least twenty years ago.We already have our nation that still exists and you'll find all those dreams are already realized and once the U.S. de-occupies our nation-state; it can continue to fulfill those dreams that have been cut off by the U.S. We know who we are even if you don't. How can we all heal and move forward when OHA refuse to have us, the Hawaii nationals, sit at the table with them?What the Akaka Bill does is allow native Hawaiians to relinquish their Hawaiian citizenship of the Kingdom of Hawai'i to U.S. citizenship as a native American-Hawaiian tribal people, wards of the U.S.A. Hawaiians that give up their Hawai'i national citizenship won't have the clout or voice that the remaining Hawai'i nationals have who are still part of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In essence, this would eliminate them from being beneficiuaries to all the ali'i trusts or would it? Maybe those trusts would establish Hawai'i nationals as a priority before U.S. American-Hawaiians rather than blood quantum of the neo-indian tribe of America.OHA, Nationbuilding /Kau Inoa/the Akaka Bill is for the mentally challenged and is part of the U.S. mechanism! If my name has been put on the Kau Inoa; please remove it.Tanetane_1@msn.com
ALOHA Kakou, For Hawaiians who want Sovereignty and Independence all they need to do is Go Home to their nation, the Hawaiian Kingdom. Stop the Venting...........116th years of Venting is Just Delayed, Justice Denied.... The Rights of our people are in the Laws of the Hawaiian Kingdo nation. Actions Speaks Louder then Sweet Words of ALOHA. KUE A MAU LOA.

Aloha e Uncle Tane,
You are absolutely right when you say and state that "those ali'i trusts would establish Hawai'i nationals as a priority before U.S. American-Hawaiians! We as Hawaiian Subject/Nationals by birthright and by choosing to be protected under our own Declaration of Rights of 1839 and our own ratified Constitutions, the first starting in 1840, we as Hawaiian Nationals/Subjects to not lose any of our "Human Rights" under international law to assert and exercise our right to claim our "Native Tenant Rights" which allows us heirs to reside and live on our ancestral lands if we so choose. We also have "Free Medical" and "Free Dental" at Queens Hospital. We as Hawaiian Nationals/Subjects have really nothing to FEAR. All of us who are heirs really just need to "assert and exercise our human rights, when we chooe to be represented and protected under our own laws and our own constitution. Everything that we need to be independent and free on a individual level and on a minority level, until others wake up is already there for us. All we must do is act on what we already to be true, on paper and in our na'au.
