The US federal government does not have the power to establish an Independent Hawaiian Nation within the State of Hawaii.
Article 6 of the US Constitution:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land"

The mistake was labeling it tribal nations but that is the way the US federal government operates, being racist while vehemently denying racism. It is the Republicans that took this and twisted it around that the US federal government is trying to call the Hawaiians an Indian tribe. This is just plain evil misinformation. The Akaka bill is to recognize the native Hawaiians of 50% or more bloodline as a sovereign nation, yes a tribal nation label, but not in any way a Native American tribe.
The rest of the babbling makes no sense without recognition of the above and if you didn't have a fixated answer before asking the question.
