@hawaiianhistory101: Why “Indigenous” is the Wrong Label for Hawaiians Hawaiians are the aboriginal people of the Hawaiian Islands and the nationals of an already-recognized sovereign state — the Hawaiian Kingdom. 🇬🇧🇫🇷 1843 – Britain & France: “Hawai‘i is an independent nation.” 🇺🇸 1844 – U.S. President Tyler: “We recognize Hawai‘i’s sovereignty.” ⚔️ 1893 – U.S.-backed invasion overthrows our lawful government. 📜 1897 – Annexation treaty? ❌ FAILED in the Senate. 📄 1898 – U.S. passes its own law (Newlands Resolution) claiming annexation… but domestic laws can’t take a foreign country. 🤷🏽‍♂️ 💡 Hawaiians are not “Indigenous” in the U.S. tribal sense. We are the aboriginal citizens of an internationally recognized nation that’s been under illegal occupation since 1893. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Yhcn9JyCD/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Imagine for a moment the massacre that would have occurred if the U.S. wasn't present in Hawaii during WW2 and Japan had seized it as a strategic stronghold.

Labeling Hawaiians as “indigenous” is inaccurate and undermines our true identity. Hawaiians are not an indigenous group within the United States, but nationals of the Hawaiian Kingdom, a sovereign nation illegally occupied by the U.S. Hawaiian identity is rooted in nationality, citizenship, and the legal continuity of our kingdom.

Hi! As Dr. Keanu states, that term is wrong but in a legal setting. In the context of law. In social and anthropology studies indigenous is a term that can be applied to us because of our history of colonization.

Hawaiian Kingdom subjects were not limited to aboriginal Hawaiians there were other ethnicities that were citizens and subjects of the kingdom.

We are not 'native Hawaiian' in the law dictionary, it means one with no identity. We are Hawaiian Kingdom nationals. The identity is what is known and established throughout the world.....💯👍🏽

this is all great sounds very educational and very smart, but the united state of America gives zero fucks of anything you say there for 100 years from now it will still be united States of America, the only difference will be when people come to the islands, they will be told that once upon a time there where Hawaiians that used to live here.

You tell Sai to take his Elmer Fudd act up to educate the nuclear powers instead of letting women and kupuna do it all the damn time. He makes decent money working for the UH system and the state of hawaii. When it comes to standing up ti nuclear powers, armed men and women he is AWOL, a desserter, MIA. We aint gon fight about legal language and terminology when I know what is wrong with this Fake State of Hawaii, Go teach all the know it all Asians in Honolulu who terminate tutors and teachers for teaching statehood is irrelevant. Kia’i dont need much more education. Yall sellouts in uniforms and congressional seats do.

Hey dumb ass no one is neutral anymore do you really think that china or North Korea would give a damn about ur rules of engagement? You can try all you want but there is no way America is gonna say here have it back after all that it has invested. You keep going back to like it’s gonna go back to that. But you can’t even come together as a people. Let alone take care of pauahi trust. You don’t even care for the poor or your own Kupuna.
