WHEREAS; the State of Hawaii Legislature admitted by authoring HCR 96 in their 2012 session that in 1893 the United States violated the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom by colluding with insurgents to usurp the government of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and acknowledged international law clearly PROHIBITS the coercive assignment or altering of a person’s nationality and citizenship to a foreign state without the explicit free, prior and informed consent of the person.

The State of Hawaii further admitted pursuant to Hawaiian Kingdom laws, international treaties and conventions, the Law of Nations, and all other standards relating to nationality, Hawaiian Nationals are citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom, residing in their own country, the Hawaiian Islands, and are NOT citizens of the United States or residents of the State of Hawaii. Hawaiian Nationals/Kanaka Maoli compose a large portion of the population in the Hawaiian Islands and lawfully reserve and assert their rights to claim nationality in the Hawaiian Kingdom, a nation in continuity. These rights are conferred by natural birth and customary law and practices, whether lineally descended from Hawaiian Nationals, by birth within the physical boundaries of the Hawaiian Islands or by a formal process of naturalization.

The United States Congress affirmed that Section 19 of the Admission Act itself DOES NOT confer, terminate or otherwise change the nationality status of Hawaiians; and

The term “Hawaiian National” is NOT synonymous with the term “Native Hawaiian”, which was coined by the United States Congress to narrowly define Hawaiians according to aboriginal blood quantum, now, therefore,

IT IS RESOLVED Hawaiian Nationals are recognized as the authentic population residing in the Hawaiian Islands and as the authentic heirs, beneficiaries, and body politic of the Hawaiian Kingdom a nation in continuity are exercising their right to organize and restore their national government.

Our signatures support the resolve of Hawaiian Nationals/Kanaka Maoli to organize and restore our government.
