Admission Day 'celebrates' a crime against Hawaiians

What the state of Hawaii government celebrates and calls "Admission Day" is, in fact, the most contemptuous crime of the 20th century against all Hawaiian descendants from Ko Hawaii Pae Aina, Jan. 17, 1893.

Today most residents of Hawaii and abroad lack knowledge of the facts, which led to this so-called holiday being glorified as a legitimate act by the "Hawaiian People." It is far from legitimate and at the very least armed robbery in progress. Hawaiian families from Kahana, Makua and Waikane valleys, Moku O Keawe, etc., are being forced off their lands by armed personnel of the state of Hawaii and U.S. military.

After you have all concluded your day of celebration (The Maui News, Aug. 21), ask yourselves: Has legal passage of jurisdiction been delivered from Ko Hawaii Pae Aina (Hawaii Kingdom) to the state of Hawaii? You may begin with Jan. 17, 1893, July 4, 1894, July 7, 1898, 1900, and June 27, 1959, (Hawaiian Plebiscite).

With all that has been admitted and written in the 1993 U.S. Apology Bill (Public Law 103-150), no one makes the obvious point that legal passage of jurisdiction did not occur between Queen Lili'uokalani and her assailants, the Committee of Safety and the Provisional Government.

Koe na kuleana o na kanaka.
