  The Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement: Non-Hawaiians - 1. INTRODUCTION
The sovereignty movement in Hawai'i is being led by indigenous Hawaiians
In my opinion, it will be to the advantage of Hawaiians and the sovereignty movement to clarify the possible roles of non-Hawaiians within certain proposed models of sovereignty or models of self-government.
