I see this narrative repeated over and over, but it has no force behind it, because resolving it would be impossible. Whatever international law that might be used to back it is entirely unenforceable.

The entire premise that the Kingdom of Hawaii still exists assumes that a governing body other than the U.S. government should have control over the Hawaiian Islands. Realistically determining whose rights would have primacy over another’s, and having it based upon hundreds of years old relations to people no longer living is antithetical to the culture that was and of people that remain.

Though I don't have a drop of Native Hawaiian blood, my family called these islands home long before the overthrow. Would I have any rights under such a government?

Native Hawaiians undoubtedly deserve redress for the many wrongs committed against them, but for that redress to be realistic, it must preserve the rights of all who live here.
