Native Hawaiian Sovereignty Issues  Last updated: 02/07/2010 11:16 PM

Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii - defines a process in which the federal government, through the Department of the Interior, would recognize a native Hawaiian governing entity and could lead to the secession of that entity from the United States of America! The impact of this entity on private property in Hawaii is unknown and could have dramatic, unforeseen consequences. For background click here.
