HONOLULU—Next week, Gov. Neil Abercrombie will be holding a bill signing ceremony for Senate Bill 1520, which the governor says will significantly improve protection of cultural rights, “ceded lands” and other entitlements, advance self-governance, and heal the “kaumaha”—the heaviness or sorrow.

Specifically, the bill establishes a five-member Native Hawaiian roll commission in the Office of Hawaiian affairs for administrative purposes to prepare and maintain a roll of qualified Native Hawaiians. The commission will publish the roll to facilitate commencement of a convention for the purpose of organization. The governor of Hawaii is required to dissolve the commission after publication of the roll.

The bill signing ceremony will occur at Washington Place, former home of Queen Liliuokalani, on Wednesday, July 6 at 2:00 p.m. 

The governor said the bill is intended to move in concert with the efforts by Senator Daniel Akaka and Hawaii‘s Congressional Delegation to achieve federal recognition of Native Hawaiians via the Akaka Bill.

The bill, which passed with only one “No” vote (from Republican Sen. Sam Slom) out of 76 legislators on May 3, 2011, is seen as an act of “reciprocal healing recognizing Hawaiians as equal partners, rather than a conquered people,” said Sen. Malama Solomon, who was the bill’s chief negotiator in securing passage. She worked closely with Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz and members of the joint conference committee to finalize the measure. Members of the joint conference committee on Hawaiian Affairs included:  Senate Chair Brickwood Galuteria, co-chairs Sen. Clayton Hee and Sen. David Y. Ige, Sen. Gil Kahele, Sen. Malama Solomon, House co-chairs Rep. Faye Hanohano and Rep. Gilbert Keith-Agaran, Rep. Chris Lee and Rep. Blake Oshiro.

“Every generation of Native Hawaiians since the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893 has struggled with not legally being recognized as equals,” Solomon said in a statement. “So many have given so much; many have fought in World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam—some losing their lives—for a country that doesn’t recognize them. ... While much has been done including the creation of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act in 1921, formation of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs in 1978, and the signing of the ‘Apology Resolution’ by President William Clinton in 1993, we are still not equals in our own land.”

When signed into law, the measure adds a new chapter to the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which would establish a process for Native Hawaiians to organize themselves.

“Hawaiians are very different from the American tribes; we had a kingdom that was recognized by the United States and many other nations around the world before the overthrow,” Solomon said. “Many of us today are directly connected to this history and heritage through our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. This new law will begin the healing.”

The bill specifies how individuals shall be nominated for consideration for the commission, and requires that each of the four counties be represented, with the fifth individual serving at-large. Funding to facilitate the activities of the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission will be provided by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

Hawaiians have suffered since the first western contact in 1778.

Western diseases, to which they had no immunity, decimated their numbers.

At the time of western contact, some 800,000 people inhabited the Hawaiian Islands.

By 1805 that number had been halved.

By 1853 there were only 71,000 Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian people in the islands.

Within 100 years of western contact, the Hawaiian population had been reduced by nearly 90 percent.

According to the 2000 census, the numbers of people who claim some native Hawaiian ancestry have increased to over 400,000.

But only 239,000 live in Hawai`i and they are the poorest, most locked-up population in the state.

Although they only make up about 20 percent of the state's population, they make up 39 percent of the state's prison population, according to the state Department of Public Safety.

And they are 37 percent of the state's homeless population.

Ending The US Occupation & Restoring Independence To The Hawaiian Kingdom Is The Only Right To Correct These Wrongs.

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.

The US Federal Maritime Administration has put up for public sale the two high-speed vessels formerly owned by the bankrupt Hawai`i Superferry LLC.

The 321-foot Alakai and 338-foot Huakai are being sold "as is" but free and clear of all liens.

The Maritime Administration bought both vessels for $25 million each and was owed more than $135.7 million.

The vessels, built by Austal USA in Mobile, Ala., are now berthed at Lambert's Point Dock in Norfolk, Va.

The Superferry was shut down on March 16, 2009, after the Hawai`i Supreme Court struck down a law, ruling it was intended to benefit a specific party, in violation of the state Constitution.

The Big Lie!

Lt. General Francis J. Wiercinski, Commanding General U.S. Army Pacific, was quoted in an Associated Press news story on June 19, 2011 as saying:
"... I don't think anybody does it better than us when it comes to protecting the environment and being cognizant and protective of cultural sites."

Adolf Hitler coined the phrase "The Big Lie" in 1925 for a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."  Sixteen years later, on Jan. 12, 1941 Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels,  wrote: "When one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it ... even at the risk of looking ridiculous."

Someone needs to tell General Wiercinski that he looks ridiculous. A few examples:
1.  In Hawaii, the Army secretively tested chemical and biological weapons, including deadly Sarin nerve gas) in Hilo's watershed, and other sites in Hawaii.  The Army did this on State land in the Waiakea Forest Reserve, with a lease to do "weather" testing.  The Army Lied.
2.  The Army secretly used Depleted Uranium (DU) weapons in Hawaii and contaminated the land with radiation.  For years the Army denied using such weapons in Hawaii.  How much DU was used, and the extent of radiation contamination in Hawaii, is still in question.  The Army has been stonewalling community concerns on DU.
3.  More than 14 million live-rounds are fired annually at the Pohakuloa Training Area  (PTA) according to an Army EIS report of several years ago.  The live rounds include everything from small arms fire, to cannons, fighter jets, bombers, etc. And recent news reports talk of doubling the training at PTA. How many live rounds fired annually are planned for PTA?  Where is the bonding of funds for clean-up when the base is shut down? And General, please explain how bombing the land and waging wars for oil is protecting the environment.

General Wiercinski, if you want to be taken seriously, our organization challenges you to support and fund comprehensive, independent testing and monitoring with citizen oversight lead by Dr. Lorrin Pang, MD (retired Army Medical Corps) to determine the full extent of radiation contamination at PTA, Makua Valley, and Schofield Barracks.

Finally, our organization does not appreciate your attempt to pit one island's opposition against another.  We are opposed to pushing U.S. desecration and contamination from one site to another in Hawaii or anywhere.  We want an end to U.S. occupation in Hawaii and the restoration of the Hawaii nation.  We want the U.S. to stop bombing Hawaii and clean up its opala.  We want to put an end to U.S. desecration and contamination of all sacred cultural sites.  We do not want the U.S. training anywhere to do to others what the U.S. has already done to Hawaii: overthrow and occupy its government and nation, desecrate its sacred sites, and contaminate its air, land, water, people, plants, and animals with military toxins.

The truth is the U.S. military, (Army included) is the world's largest polluter and destroyer (not protector) of the environment and culture the world has ever seen.
