Of note, in Washington D.C., there are continued negotiations going on to approve the status of "tribe" for Hawaiians, with proposed consessions almost mirroring the agreements with the "American" Indian tribes.
Both the Hawaiians and Native Americans started meeting years ago to assist the Hawaiians in following the same or similar pathway.
