Substitute Akaka Bill should be enacted?


The Star-Bulletin editorial calls for the passage of the substitute federal recognition bill, which is now the Hawaiian Government Reorganization act. Interesting that it is "reorganization" which implies that there is already a government in existence. And the editorial touches on the idea of nationality, as opposed to race, as a basis for the body politic: "The only sure way to meet constitutional objections would be to include as beneficiaries descendants of non-Hawaiians who lived in the islands before the overthrow."
