Leinani Kaleihuia Heidi, actually if you studied hawaiian language from the hawaiian newspaper, they never wrote ʻaʻale. They would pronounce it that way, but never in writing. He aha ke kumu no kāu mea i ʻōlelo ai? ʻO ʻoe he kanaka ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi?
Heidi Holomua Sorry, didn't "study" Hawaiian language, my Kupuna taught me...no books. Further, they sent me to Punahou, (circa 1960) to get a good education, and learn the Western way to beat them at their "own game". I maintain, it is "a'ale", not "a'ole" for "NO", in our ohana; it is more proper.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs will no longer be able to extend federal recognition to tribes under a bill introduced in the 114th Congress.
H.R. 3764, the Tribal Recognition Act, still requires the BIA to review petitions from interested groups. But Congress -- and only Congress -- would be able to make the final decision.
"The authority to recognize tribes is one that belongs to Congress, not the executive branch," Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said in a press release.
Historically, tribes have secured recognition through treaties, acts of Congress, federal court decisions or executive orders issued by the president of the United States. But since 1978, the legislative and judicial branches have deferred to the BIA, whose Office of Federal Acknowledgment reviews petitions submitted by interesting groups. Final decisions are made by the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs.
The process, besides being slow-moving and costly, has been criticized as unfair to petitioners and interested parties like states and local governments. But reform bills in Congress have never gained much traction despite attention paid to the issue on Capitol Hill.
The Obama administration attempted to make major changes to the process, mainly in the criteria used to judge petitions. Criticism from politicians, tribes and states, though, prevented some of the more significant Part 83 reforms from appearing in a rule that was finalized in June.
And despite assertions by lawmakers about the legislative branch's role, Congress has been loath to exercise its authority -- the last stand-alone recognition bill was in the mid-1990s. Two tribes were able to secure legislative recognition in 2000 as part of an omnibus Indian package that passed in the final days of the 106th Congress and was signed into law during the final days of the Clinton presidency.
Bishop's bill, which was introduced on Tuesday, does not have any co-sponsors.

"The Trail of Tears was a series of forced removals of Native American nations from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to an area west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Native Territory. The forced relocations were carried out by various government authorities following the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. The relocated people suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while on route, and more than four thousand died ...
