I think part of the problem here is two different (though related) events happened:
1) annexation 1893-1897-ish. I think we can all agree that native Hawaiians were against this.
2) statehood vote 1959. It seems to me that the choice was between being governed from the outside, or forming a state and having a say in your own government. Seems like statehood would be the lesser of two evils.
