Remnants of the Kingdom
in a sense the Hawaiian institutions, agencies
and programs are "remnants of the Kingdom" as Bumpy has often said. In a very
literal way. They are a fractured repository of the assets and rights that
derive from the kingdom. except that under the occupation they are forced to be
defined, and are defined by the occupier, as racial rather than national.
So the question Hawaiians really need to ask, IMHO, is do you try to endlessly struggle to protect fragmented remnants against vicious assault from forces determined to actually complete the overthrow that never really fully succeeded in a system imposed upon you by a foreign power and rigged throughout history to guarantee your disadvantage? Or do you unite to fit together the fragments and restore your country that they comprise, and retake your rightful place among the World Family of Nations? (And then set up a process for us resident aliens to apply for naturalization if we so choose.)
Because what is missing is not any particular piece so much as the glue that holds them all together. That is a government. The kingdom still exists, and many of its components have lived on in some other form under the occupation. But the government has been made ineffective.
There has never been a time like now for the pieces to really work on figuring out how to come together to restore the effectiveness of the government. All the pieces are there.
