Since 1893 the USA admitted multiple times to illegal aggression in Hawai'i.
But Hawaiian lands are still occupied. The intruders fabricated at least seven
military golf courses on O'ahu! Native Hawaiians suffer everyday as our
inheritance remains stolen & misused.
Today's diverse communities, built on
Hawaiian culture, will strengthen when indigenous inheritance is properly
addressed or compensated. Surely all in Hawai'i are challenged to reconcile.
Unreconciled gaps exist between intruder
communities & descendants of The People of Old. We've sovereignty issues. Hawaiian
communal land tenure exists alongside fee simple ownership. As for
population, the repeat tourist, the fourth-generation
immigrant, the native Kimo of no fixed address - who is Hawaiian?
We must decide - and not look away to fuckin' Washington DC for guidance or revenge.
All can
benefit to be more inclusive, legally & peacefully acknowledging inheritance of
properties and compensation for indigenous people and their families.
