Apology and Reconciliation Colloquium 2007

Sunday January 14, 2007
3 p.m.

Presented by: Pacific Justice and Reconciliation Center

Film: “Nation Within” by Tom Coffman

Panel Dialogue & presentation



The film, *“Nation Within”* shows how American planters engineered the annexation of Hawaii and how mainland public opinion was manipulated into accepting the takeover. It also places the annexation in context of the imperialism and colonialism that was sweeping the world in the late 19th century. Finally, it shows the resistance of the Hawaiian people to being submerged in the American nation and gives us an idea of the sovereignty movement in Hawai’i today.

On January 17, 1993, the United Churches of Christ issued a formal Apology in Hawaii to Na Kanaka Maoli, which began a process of redress and reconciliation. Earlier that year Congress passed an Apology to Native Hawaiians Resolution U.S. Resolution 103-50.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday event “Life Every Voice” will be an opportunity to lift the voices of those involved in the apology and reconciliation work, what this has meant in the past thirteen years, and what is the vision for the future, that justice will prevail.

“The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice.”
— Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
