kingdom_of_hawaii_seal_of_the_king_39Excellent points made in this letter. My highlights are below.

"You do not have to go beyond the actual title that the Department of Interior gives to their proposed rule to see the lie underlying this entire process. There never was a government-to-government relationship between the Native Hawaiians and the United States. The relationship was a nation-to-nation relationship embodied in treaties between the Kingdom of Hawai'i and the United States. The Kingdom conducted the relations with the United States Department of State, not the Department of the Interior. The DoI pretends to be "re-establishing" a relationship that never existed in order to avoid discussing the real relationship with the Kingdom.

"...the intent of these two processes to prevent the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawai'i Government is transparent. The outright lies and false narratives that are involved reflect the corrupt foundation upon which these efforts are built... While I know that the DoI rule is only proposed, there are obviously some immutable parts of it, like the elimination of Kingdom restoration as an option.

"The descendants of Kingdom subjects not of Hawaiian ancestry will continue to be ignored.

"I trust that my people will now see clearly the intention of this entire process and refuse to participate or withdraw if they are now engaged."
