Kamehameha no American


The Taipei Times has a letter protesting their reference to King Kamehameha as an American in an article about him. Nathan Miller says, in part:
King Kamehameha was never an American. He was the ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii, an independent nation. The 1993 Apology Bill passed by the US Congress states that Hawaiians have never relinquished their sovereignty and admits that the US acted illegally in overthrowing Queen Liliuokalani. King Kamehameha was not an American when he was alive, and he is certainly not now because of America's self-admitted theft of the Hawaiian Islands.

Nice little bit of exposure in Taiwan, which shares certain similarities with Hawaii...
