[@jaymo8206]

As a former resident of the Big Island, I learned all of this Hawaiian history AFTER I moved there. None of this was ever taught in mainland US History classes. When I taught a video journalism class at Waiakea High School in the 90's, my students covered important stories similar to this one. The Hawaiian people and Nation are owed more than an apology for what the US government has done since 1893. As an aside, President Grover Cleveland opposed the actions of Sanford Dole and the businessmen who overthrew Queen Liliokalani. However he lost an election and his successor, McKingly gave the green light to.annex The Hawaiian Nation.

[@clicheguevara5282]

Not so much. ..and ESPECIALLY now after the fires. It's actually a pretty mainstream opinion that fires were a land grab conspiracy. The _real_ problem is that most locals and natives are completely uninvolved in local politics. We have a super low voter turnout and the few people who do actually vote are old white people who vote for a full Democrat ticket every single time. ..which is why we CONSTANTLY have politicians getting busted for corruption out here. Were you talking to actual Hawaiians or just people who live in Hawaii? ..because that's two entirely different things. As far as the last 3 years - yeah, most people complied with the mandates. ..but I didn't. I refused to wear a mask in my place of business and literally only two people ever even said anything negative to me about it the entire time. It's not like California, where people go insane and assault you. Here, people either said nothing to me or they said "Oooh! Can I take mine off too?". The people who were really trusting the government and _joyfully_ following all the mandates were old white liberals - just like everywhere else. Lol Most people here just did it because people do what they're told. ..though to be fair, I live on Big Island, which is way more laid back than Oahu or Maui.

As a Māori from Aotearoa NZ, it seriously angers me what happened to Hawai’i and how it’s like for kānaka maoli (native Hawaiians). The homelessness, poverty, over-working to survive and the tourism of all the people going and even moving there. They’re all rich too. My heart goes out to all the natives and natives only, I’m so sorry for what happened and continues to happen. In a kind and fair world, it never would have. Hawai’i will always belong to the natives. You may buy their land and their houses whilst they live in tents or leave, you may live there while they struggle to survive, but you will never ever belong there. If you are not native Hawaiian, it is not your STOLEN COUNTRY to claim. I don’t care if your grandparents moved there and you were born there, you still don’t belong there.

This is not an easy situation for the Polynesians on these islands at all. Its not all lost though. Some words on economy: these islands are in the middle of California, Panama, China, Japan and South Corea. Back in the days when Europe was the main market in the world, these islands were super remote for business, yet in the now, they are on a very central location. From an economic POV, I dont think autonomy would be a disaster at all. You'd get control over immigration. This is crucial for not seeing the position for Polynesians to become even worse.

A vote wouldnʻt be the lawful avenue for Hawaiiʻs situation in this case. For one thing, what government would initiate the vote? A US voting system? That would not be lawful. Secondly, who would be the lawful citizens, or subjects, to participate in the vote? American citizens would obviously not be allowed to vote. Thirdly, since the lawful and legal status of Hawaii is an Independent Nation State under US Belligerent Occupation, voting under occupation is unlawful. In order to hold a vote, US Occupation would need to end, a lawful Hawaiian Government would need to be re-established, and its citizenship would need to re-identified. That is the only way a lawful vote would be legal under Hawaiian Constitution Law.

I’d say the horror that is now Hawaii really started with the first European boot on the beach. Colonization was horrific, and I’m sorry for it…but it is well past time to heal. The world can’t communicate effectively without anger and war. It is influenced by cultural backgrounds, the way someone was raised, their gender, their temperament, and much more. For that reason, we may say one thing but the other person hears something completely different. Misunderstandings inevitably lead to frustration and problems. I don’t get why it is so hard to simply pull/unplug everything European from infrastructure to buildings to people and Give them their country back

The USA did NOT overthrow the Kingdom of Hawaii, it was taken over by the Cabinet Ministers & Administers appointed by the Monarchy of Hawaii. These were mostly white men that had renounced their US Citizenship and were legal non-native, naturalized Citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The FACT is, the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by an internal bloodless coup, that resulted in the formation of the 'Provisional Government' (PG) that founded the "Republic of Hawaii" to replace a minority caste system of Kings & Queens and privileged royal cousins, that lived a very good life while the majority peasants were poor basically share croppers. The US supported the independent PG and was, and always has been, dedicated to free and independent government. The US did NOT take any land, it was all purchased from greedy & corrupt royal family land-owners that gladly sold land that was given to them for immediate monetary gains. Hawaii was a target for occupation by France, Spain, Japan and was even taken over by England in 1840, for 5 months. The King traded Pearl Harbor to Export Sugar Tax-Free, to gain an unfair advantage and become mega-rich from plantation slavery kick-backs. The Monarchy lost their Kingdom.

Wow! thereʻs so much incorrect information in your comment, but I applaud your effort in your research as I can see that you know a bit more than the average American. One of the things I want to clarify on is that the Committee of Safety, who were comprised of both Hawaiian Subjects of European descent and Foreign Immigrants, overthrew the Hawaiian Monarchy with the support of the US Military. WIthout their support, the Committee of Safety would have not succeeded in the overthrow due to the lack of military force. By this interference of US military involvement in the overthrown is what made the overthrow illegal in terms of International Law which consequently initiated war between the US and the Hawaiian Kingdom. This also started the US Occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom since 1893. There was never a Treaty Peace signed between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the US, nor was there a Treaty of Annexation signed between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the US. Therefore, US Occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom still continues today since January 17th, 1893.

then why did America apologize?

[@kanakaoiwi1609]

@@mooliowellness they apologized for their illegal role and participation in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Government. The overthrow is considered to be an internal civil disobedience and that no foreign military should participate in which is under international law. US violated international law by landing U.S. military troops onto the shores of an independent sovereign nation.

Propaganda. The kings and queens of Hawaii owned everything. Their subjects zip. This wasn’t ok with immigrants such as the Americans and not ok with the Hawaiian subjects which lead to the overthrow of the monarchy. Even today their formally royal descendants own much of Hawaii land. Finally in Hawaii native is a “non white” code word. Whites who’s descendants have been their for generation are “not native”. The dude just off the boat from the Philippines is “native Hawaiian “. Finally yes the working and middle class are being priced out of Hawaii as in other blue states-see CA, OR, WA. Thats political reality in deep blue states. Finally Hawaii vote for statehood in 1958. Could stayed a commonwealth. Strongly republican in 1958 today its a deep blue state destroying its middle class.

It was stolen land. Did you have any evidence that proves that they originated from Asia? Did you or anyone you know saw them when they came from Asia and settled in Hawaii? The answer is NO. Also, Native Americans were here when your ancestors came. They welcomed your ancestors as visitors and treated them largely well before your evil ancestors turned on them. Hawaiians were already living there when your ancestors came from Europe to kill Native Americans in their own land and then from there to Hawaii. No one has gone to Europe to claim that white Europeans come from hell or heaven, therefore, they don't own the lands in Europe.
