US Interior to Propose Rule for Dealing With a Native Hawaiian Government
The administrative procedure could lead to establishment of a formal relationship between the United States and an indigenous governing entity in the islands.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has taken a major step toward federal recognition of Native Hawaiians.
The agency has moved forward regarding procedures to re-establish a government-to-government relationship with a native governing entity by submitting a draft rule for regulatory review.
The governing entity is in the process of being formed through the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission, which late last month sent notices to qualified voters on how to participate in a constitutional convention for self-governance...
I am so pleased to see this unfolding, to witness something positive being done even if it is not ideal, to right the wrongs of the (USA) government towards the Hawaiian people.
I am sure it will rile those that are insecure in their own beliefs and threatened by a stronger Hawaiian community, but OMG it is wonderful to see the Obama administration knows better than to grabble with their likes and has moved forward in this way. Hopefully conclusive steps will be taken soon enough, and strong enough, to shield them from the insanity of future Republican administrations.
