For individuals who do not know, the Kingdom of Hawai’i was an unbiased nation. After US troops overthrew Queen Lili’uokalani in 1893, the dominion was illegally annexed in 1898 — regardless of some Congress members mentioning it was unconstitutional.
At the moment, a disproportionate variety of Native Hawaiians are pushed into homelessness and out of their ancestral lands whereas the rich swoop in and buy hundreds of acres. From the Navy poisoning ingesting water within the Purple Hill water disaster to the years-long battle in opposition to the Thirty Meter Telescope whereas religious and cultural beliefs have been disregarded to the federal government’s failure following the devastating Maui fires, Native Hawaiians have confronted numerous disasters by the hands of the US. I completely love Kamalei’s message to push ahead and maintain preventing the nice struggle.
