Bush's Hawaii visit; Kamehameha; Kahoolawe


Bush arrived in Hawaii today, and the Advertiser has an article on the visit, including Governor Lingle's plans to lobby on behalf of federal recognition for Hawaiians. Their editorial calls on Bush to "pay particular attention to the issue of Hawaiian self-determination," and the Star-Bulletin editorial also urges Bush's support. This KHNL News 8 story mentions that Hawaiian sovereignty advocates are expected to protest.

Meanwhile, plaintiffs against Kamehameha Schools admissions policy are arguing that past injustices are not relevant to the case, while an op-ed piece by former Hawai'i governor George Ariyoshi says the Schools' admission preference is justified, and in the letters section Jaimee-Jean Namahoe shares about learning Hawaiian culture and heritage at Kamehameha Schools, and Michael Rath talks about King Kamehameha the man as an imperialist.

The Star-Bulletin reports that "A formal ceremony is being planned at Iolani Palace on Nov. 12 to mark the transfer of control of Kahoolawe from the Navy to the state's Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission." Kahoolawe was used by the Navy as a target and training area from 1941 until 1990.
