| Title: | Darkness over Hawaii: Annexation Myth Greatest Obstacle to Progress |
| Authors: | Chang, Williamson B.C. |
| Keywords: | Native Hawaiians annexation Scalia |
| Issue Date: | 09 Apr 2015 |
| Abstract: | Native Hawaiians are not ready for a convention. We are not ready for big decisions. We know little about the world. The world is ignorant about Hawaii. Justice Scalia in his recent remarks on the law and history pertaining to Hawaii displayed some of that ignorance. His remarks revealed the extent and consequences of the campaign of deception asserting that Hawaii was acquired by a joint resolution. This claim is not only false. It is impossible.
Justice Scalia is not the only one deceived. The Hawaii Supreme Court, in a 2013 ruling on the effects of annexation, blithely ignored the most basic of all state laws—those describing the boundaries of Hawaii. Truth telling through re-education of Hawaiians and the rest of the world is just beginning. Whether one supports restoration of the Kingdom or Tribal recognition, what Hawaiians need now is more scholarship about the world-- particularly as to the world of newly emerging sovereign states and the history of decolonization. We should not let Washington push us into tribal status. The path we take must be fully informed and selfless. |
