	ICT [2006/07/07] The Akaka Bill falls short (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Two recent articles in Indian Country Today have voiced support for the Akaka Bill that would use the legislative authority of the United States to establish the criteria for federal recognition of a Native Hawaiian governing body somewhat analogous to an American Indian tribal council.
		The Akaka Bill has been promoted as a remedy for the injustices that the Kanaka Maoli of Hawai'i have suffered ever since 1893, when a criminal cabal of Americans conspired to overthrow the indigenous constitutional government known as Kingdom of Hawai'i.
		The Akaka Bill does not even begin to address and remedy the political history of the Kanaka Maoli people, and the criminal fraud that has been committed against them by the United States.
