Now that the season of political posturing is upon us, in reflection, there are several moments that define our history, as Hawaiians. The overthrow of our Kingdom/Monarcy/"Government" (January 17, 1893) obviously is the starting point to where we are today, under US law.
This is a short explanation of how many, many Hawaiians today perceive our history, and where we are today. (FWIW):

Now, try and get Hawaiians to vote in the US system. Quite a "tall order", given the (dictated, to some) circumstances.
I vote, my ohana votes, yet, we also agree with the position of Haunani K. Trask. No question.
JMO.
