according to the united state government hawaii is a state. even though it wasn't done legally...there not letting us go. that's why people are fighting for our lands. here is an article i found on maoli world the other day. the headline says "justice memo shows u.s. never legally annexed hawaii."

you guys should read it. yah, hawaii is part of the fifty nifty united states song, yes it is said to be the 50th state...this article just says that it wasn't done legally. that's why some people in hawaii are angry and yell at tourist to go home and stop taking our lands.
i dunno if hawaii will ever be let go from the u.s but i always wonder about it. |

I agree...Hawaii is, and will always be a prize. We are the prefect setting for a atomic warfare...
US wont give us up, even if it was illegal, there is too much riding on it for "THEM".Think about it, we're in the middle of the ocean, between two of the biggest Continents.
Sorry, it wont happend |

While there is no doubt that the overthrow was illegal, I don't think there is any turning back the clock. |

The Hawaiian Queen Lydia Liliuokalani was overthrown
In 1893, James H. Blount, newly appointed American minister to Hawaii, arrived representing President Grover Cleveland. Blount listened to both sides, annexationists and restorationists, and concluded the Hawaiian people aligned with the Queen. Blount and Cleveland agreed the Queen should be restored. Blount's final report implicated the American minister Stevens in the illegal overthrow of Liliuokalani. Albert S. Willis, Cleveland's next American minister offered the crown back to the Queen on the condition she pardon and grant general amnesty to those who had dethroned her. She initially refused but soon she changed her mind and offered clemency. This delay compromised her political position and President Cleveland had released the entire issue of the Hawaiian revolution to Congress for debate. The annexationists promptly lobbied Congress against restoration of the monarchy. On July 4, 1894, the Republic of Hawaii with Sanford B. Dole as president was proclaimed. It was recognized immediately by the United States government.
In 1895, Liliuokalani was arrested and forced to reside in Iolani Palace after a cache of weapons was found in the gardens of her home in Washington Place. She denied knowing of the existence of this cache and was reportedly unaware of others' efforts to restore the royalty. In 1896, she was released and returned to her home at Washington Place where she lived for the next two decades. Hawaii was annexed to the United States through a joint resolution of the U. S. Congress in 1898 . The "ex-"queen died due to complications from a stroke in 1917. A statue of her was erected on the grounds of the State Capital in Honolulu.
Therefore many Hawaiians believe that it was illegal. |

Maoli World is a good source. Hawai`i is a illegally occupied country, like a forced marriage, and we need a divorce. I think when the people of America actually know this, that is when we will be free again. Nothing against the American public, ignorance is bliss, and most people and their ancestors had no idea what was going on in 1893. Good Question. What you can do is educate yourself, make yourself strong. Listen to God, not man. Man has gone astray for the most part, and the Aina(land) Cries out for a change. I believe we can achieve sovereignty, but it is going to be a lot of work.
Are you ready?
