U.S. induced overthrow; don't dismiss non-native citizens


Published in the Advertiser letters...

My rebuttal of Frank Scott's claim that the view that the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom was an illegal act by the United States is "not supported by available historical data," and that the actions of the U.S. minister had "no proven effect on the overthrow." I cite Cleveland and the apology.

And Keola Kamaunu writes letter praising Anne Keala Kelly's critique of the Akaka bill and OHA's enrollment and nationhood plan, but also criticizing Kelly's dismissal of "the interests and rights of such a large part of the population as the descendants of non-native citizen-subjects." Kamaunu points out that even Freddie Rice, for whom the Rice v. Cayetano case opening OHA voting to non-Hawaiians, but whose great-great-great-grandfather was naturalized in the kingdom in the mid-19th century, "eloquently stands by the kingdom's legal traditions and declares his preference for Hawaiian citizenship in an independent nation."
