Federal recognition process misunderstood
Foster
Ampong has a
letter
in today's
Advertiser
regarding federal recognition and the Akaka bill, saying: "One is either an
American citizen of Hawaiian ancestry or a citizen of Ko Hawai'i Pae 'Aina, two
very distinct differences. An American citizen cannot speak for the citizens of
another country. [...] Everyone, especially Hawaiians, should fully understand
this federal recognition bill (Akaka bill) and its process. It is to benefit
'Americans' and destroy what is left of Ko Hawai'i Pae 'Aina (Hawai'i) and its
surviving people. No legal passage of 'jurisdiction' has taken place between Ko
Hawai'i Pae 'Aina and the United States or the state of
Hawai'i."And
Ken
Conklin has a
letter
in the Maui
News about Inouye's stealth tactics to get the
bill passed.
