What is the future for Native Hawaiians? Is their journey toward self-determination aided by legislation offered by Hawai'i's congressional delegation?

Social, economic and political questions are all related to this new legislation. It proposes that Hawaiians be formally recognized as the indigenous people of Hawai'i by the United States.

While the language in the federal recognition bill is not final, with the passage of this bill, Hawaiians will enjoy the same status as other native peoples. They will have a formal presence in Washington, D.C., and they will have a mechanism in place to establish their government.

There are 558 Native American tribes and Alaska Native groups in the United States that already have received similar recognition. Some of these native entities have gone on to establish their own governments and formalized their status as nations.

Adding Hawaiians to this list will reinforce their political status as the indigenous people of these islands.
