Talk:Hawaiian sovereignty movement/Temp

Untitled

The Hawaiian sovereignty movement generally refers to the collective efforts of organizations and individuals seeking to regain the sovereignty of the Hawaiian people that was lost when the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown in 1893. Sovereignty, in this context, generally refers to the power of Native Hawaiians to exercise their inherent rights typically expressed through independent self-government.

Were only Native Hawaiians holding citizenship pre-1893? Quash-asia (talk) 09:28, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Do you think that maybe we should go from here into the history of the movement (i.e."the history of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement goes back to the 1890's, when groups such as Hui Aloha 'Aina struggled against annexation; however, it gained considerable momentum during the "Hawaiian Rennaissance" of the 1970's...etc.)...?

Yes, great idea! I feel stupid for not thinking of it myself!

In United States Public Law No 103-150, a joint resolution passed in 1993, the United States Congress apologized to Native Hawaiians for the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the annexing of Hawaii in 1898. In the resolution, the President and Congress of the U.S. admitted that U.S. support for the 1893 overthrow was "illegal" and a violation of "international law". Jon M. Van Dyke of the William S. Richardson School of Law describes the reconciliation process suggested in the text of this law as ongoing, and says that it will necessitate the restoration of the sovereignty of Native Hawaiians and the return of land and resources.

Native sovereignty is a focus of discussion and debate in Hawai'i. Sovereignty organizations often recognize and include non-natives who are either descendants of immigrant subjects of the pre-1893 Hawaiian Kingdom or who have naturalized through an internal process.

History

Pre-Contact Sovereignty

I'm not sure what to call this -- any ideas for a better heading? Basically, I'd just like to start from the very beginning...

See User:Fang 23/Prehistoric Hawaii. You can start by just calling it "prehistoric". After you've written a paragraph or more, you'll get various ideas, such as "chiefdom". What I try to do is let the content name itself. Viriditas (talk) 01:14, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Ka Lahui Hawaii

Ka Lahui Hawai'i was organized in 1987 and claims a membership of 20,000. The group believes that the nation within a nation model is the best way for "indigenous Hawaiians to negotiate with the US and enforce their rights".

Features

• Land base: control and ownership of resources
• Right to determine citizenship
• Right to self-government

Models

Independent nation

See also: Independence

Return to pre-1893 independence. Hawaii would no longer be part of the U.S. and its people would be citizens of the nation of Hawaii, not U.S. Re-establishment of monarchy, like Tonga for example, is a possibility under this model. Other alternatives include part monarchy and representative government like Great Britain, or a U.S.-style representative democracy. Advantages: right to create treaties, determine citizenship, control immigration, issue passports, stamps, currency, army, management of land and resources, tax collection, courts, schools, police. Disadvantages: seceding from the U.S. would be difficult; economic and military insecurity due to isolated geographical location.

Poka Laenui (Hayden Burgess) is a proponent of this model.

Free association

Nation within a nation

Ka Lahui Hawaii supports this model.
