Nope. I am saying that the overthrow was not whole embraced by all of the US...Blout Report(1893)... Morgan Report (1894)... Native Hawaiian Study Commission(1983)... Apology Resolution (1993)... (2014) by the Interior Department.
the promise of some sort of resolution has been kept alive.
I think the reports you mentioned can best be compared to the Republicans promises to repeal Obamacare. They return to their districts, offer to vote a few dozen more times for the repeal of the health care law, but at the end of the day it's the law of the land, and it's been upheld by the Supreme Court and they can't overturn it.
The resolutions you note are similar. Yes, they might be taken as promises by some of the Hawaiian people, but they do not supersede the fact that Hawaii became a territory and then a state. The people issuing the reports are at best offering an idea or an opinion, with no ability to implement their suggestions. None of the reports you noted were ever able to change the status of Hawaii as a territory or state. Unless that happens, Hawaii will remain a state, just like Obamacare will remain law.
