    Amelia Gora So, the intent is to recognize the Hawaiians as Indians, along with the Alaskans (thanks to the Danners) and lump everyone together to allow the (illegal) State which gives Cops the Green Light to Shoot (DAPL) Protesters On Sight......which means the recognition pushed by Danner, OHA/Office of Hawaiian Affairs, HHL, Kanaiolowalu supports GENOCIDE, in a new phase of killing off kanaka maoli! ....truly Not OK... Oppose the U.S. in Hawaii, remove/expel them because "Every Sovereign nation has the inherent right to deny to aliens the privilege of entering its territory and even to expel them therefrom" HAWAII SUPREME COURT DIGEST; HAWAIIAN REPORTS, Honolului, Oahu, Hawaii ---- Now do you see from the above article that Hawaiians specifically kanaka maoli are being set up? Know that the 1849/1850 Treaty of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the United States of America is a treaty of friendship and amity and a binding contract which also can be used to charge pirates, pillagers, etc.....and know that Obama himself is a pillager because of his ancestor was a sibling of Charles Reed Bishop who has been criminally partaking off of our Royal Families monies!https://en.wikipedia.org/.../Hawaii-United_States_Treaty...

    The United States of America and His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands, equally animated with the desire of maintaining the relations of good understanding which have hitherto so happily subsisted between their respective states, and consolidating the commercial intercourse between them, have...
