Wednesday, July 4, 1894, a group of businessmen, turned seditionists and traitors to the Government of the Hawaiian Kingdom, adopted and enacted a constitution for the “Republic of Hawaii”. At the time of its adoption, the citizenry who desired to be governed by, and in support of the statutes of that constitution, numbered less than 5000. The population in Hawaii at the time, numbered about 100,000 to 120,000. The framers of that particular constitution failed to take into account the Kanaka Maoli, who never took the oath of allegiance to the Republic. Congress found and determined that if the native population never took the oath of allegiance to the Republic, and never acquiesced, consented, relinquished, or surrendered their inherent sovereign rights through a plebiscite or referendum, they could not acquire American citizenship. This is supported by section 19 of the Hawaii Admissions Act as follows; §19. Nothing contained in this Act shall operate to confer United States nationality, nor to terminate nationality heretofore lawfully acquired, or restore nationality heretofore lost under any law of the United States or under any treaty to which the United States is or was a party. In other words, if you were born kanaka maoli in the islands of Hawaii, and at least one of your parents was born kanaka maoli in the islands, and at least one kupuna was born kanaka maoli in the islands and your kupuna never took the oath of allegiance to the Republic of Hawaii, there is a good chance that you still retain ALL your inherent sovereign rights, privileges and opportunities belonging to a lineal descendant whose kupuna never freely or voluntarily relinquished or surrendered their inherent rights, to the Provisional Government, the Republic of Hawaii, or the United States.
