Kamehameha ceded Hawaii Island to Great Britain in order to gain an alliance with them before the battle of Nuuanu. This was prior to 1893, so by virtue of the rule first come first served often cited by protestors, we must all legally be British subjects:
Likewise, Kamehameha requested military assistance and the use of artillery from Captain George Vancouver and in exchange "ceded" the island of Hawaii to Great Britain in February 1794.

Crap.
Forgot about Brexit. I was hoping Hilo Harbor could start getting direct shipments of French wines, and German cars. Guess I’ll have to settle for Marmite and Cadbury.

Exactly. Clearly, native Hawaiians are very concerned about Brexit.
