	Native Hawaiians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Native Hawaiians (in Hawaiian, kanaka ʻoiwi or kanaka māoli) are the Polynesian peoples of the Hawaiian Islands who trace their ancestry back to Marquesan and possibly Tahitian settlers (starting circa 400 CE), before the arrival of British explorer Captain James Cook in 1778.
		Practically all native Hawaiians are fluent in the English language as a result of both the emphasis the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi put on learning English, as well as over a century of being an integral part of the United States of America.
		Native Hawaiian culture saw a revival in recent years as an outgrowth of decisions made at the 1978 Hawaiʻi State Constitutional Convention, held exactly 200 years after the arrival of Captain Cook.

	NATIVE HAWAIIAN BAR ASSOCIATION
		The bill does not give the governing native Hawaiian entity explicit powers, but instead legislates these powers to be granted in the course of future, three-way agreements approved by the federal government, the state of Hawaii and the new native Hawaiian governing body.
		Native Hawaiians as an indigenous people in our country should be afforded the right to create their own government body, he said.
		Rather, Hawaiians are asserting human rights - not simply the right to be equal but to self-determination; not a right to entitlements but to reparations; not a right to special treatment but to reconnect spiritually with land and culture; not a right to equality but a form of self-education and governance.

	Native Hawaiian issues gain national spotlight - The Honolulu Advertiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Native Hawaiians do not agree on either the shape or substance of a new government, or even on recognition itself, but many think they have a rare moment where they can tell people here and nationwide that their identity and culture are at risk.
		Many Hawaiians fear that a host of federal and state-financed Native Hawaiian social service programs may be at legal risk unless the bill passes, although the bill, if it became law, would also likely be challenged as unconstitutional.
		Several Native Hawaiian parents said they want their children to retain the culture and feel confident in their own identity, but not to forget they are Americans.

	'Native Hawaiian' -- Linda Chavez -- GOPUSA
		The legislation defines as "Native Hawaiian" anyone who is one of the "indigenous, native people of Hawaii," and who is a "direct lineal descendant of the aboriginal, indigenous, native people" who resided in the Hawaiian Islands before Jan. 1, 1893, when the United States took possession of the island from the reigning monarch, Queen Liliuokalani.
		The bill even empowers the new entity established by Native Hawaiians to "negotiate" with the existing state and federal governments over lands and natural resources, civil and criminal jurisdiction, and the "delegation of governmental powers" from the United States and the state of Hawaii to the new governing entity.
		Is it too far-fetched to imagine some enterprising group of "Native Hawaiians" deciding to demand all waterfront property be turned over to the new "tribe," or perhaps just to demand that existing owners pay a new tax to the new governing entity for the privilege of keeping their property?
