Destroys our SOVEREIGNTY which we still have in place since 1843-2009 ,though we are ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED and RULED by a TERRORIST EMPIRE " USA"4.MEDIA FOLLOWS THE MONEY AND HIDDEN AGENDA'S THAT HELP TO PERPETUATE THESE LIES!!!LEARN TRUTH :http://hawaiiankingdom.orgOUR OPINIONCeded lands conflict should be resolved in sovereignty talksPOSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Feb 02, 2009WHILE the U.S. Supreme Court considers a challenge of the state's attempted transfer or sale of virtually any state-owned land, some state legislators are proposing to preempt the court ruling by banning such sales to protect native Hawaiian interests. The controversy more properly should be advanced to negotiations following congressional approval of Hawaiian sovereignty.The dispute involves the status of 1.2 million acres of former crown land -- about 29 percent of Hawaii's total land area and virtually all state-owned land -- that was taken over by the federal government at annexation and ceded to the state at admission. The Admission Act provided that one-fifth of benefits from those lands be dedicated to improving conditions for native Hawaiians, and 20 percent of rental income has gone to that cause.The Office of Hawaiian Affairs has challenged development of 500 acres of ceded land on Maui as residential housing, rejecting a check of nearly $5.6 million, a one-fifth share of the land's value. The state Supreme Court ruled a year ago that a 1993 joint resolution by Congress dictated that ceded lands be "preserved" pending resolution of land claims by Hawaiians.The Apology Resolution called for "a proper foundation for reconciliation between the United States and the native Hawaiian people." The issue of land rights properly belongs in negotiations that will following congressional enactment of the sovereignty bill sponsored by Sen. Daniel Akaka.The Akaka Bill has stalled in recent years because of largely Republican opposition. Democrats now have more than enough command of Congress to assure enactment, and President Obama has given his support.http://www.starbulletin.com/editorials/20090202_Ceded_lands_conflict_should_be_resolved_in_sovereignty_talks.html
There is an inherent problem in how they commingled our title with the public. They did so purposefully but from my research our kupuna did not sign to transfer title to include the public.
That is why it is important to keep our title and our nation TOTALLY separate.
"The Admission Act provided that one-fifth of benefits from those lands be dedicated to improving conditions for native Hawaiians, and 20 percent of rental income has gone to that cause."
It should read: 1/5th of benefits from those lands were decide and enacted by legislature in 1978. 80% is used for educationand other purposes. Thus 20% of rental income has been earmarked for the benefits of the native Hawaiian which they haven't received to date. We don't need U.S.Congressional approval for our sovereignty we already have that; plus US recognition through our treaties with it.
..."a proper foundation for reconciliation between the United States and the native Hawaiian people." is U.S. belligerent de-occupation of our country and to make restitution and reparations for all the devastation and harm created against us, our government, territory, economy, and international status.
The Akaka Bill has stalled in recent years because of largely Republican opposition.
That is partly why I am a registered Republican and damn proud of it despite some pilau Republicans. Meanwhile Democrats ARE and will continue to push it through.
First it's 1.8 million
2. akaka bill = turning the kanaka maoli into american indians.
3. Destroys our SOVEREIGNTY which we still have in place since 1843-2009 ,though we are ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED and RULED by a TERRORIST EMPIRE " USA"

If you already have sovereignty, then why even refer to the Admissions Act?
