A new administration has brought a change of view about the legality of Native Hawaiians establishing their own government.
During the past decade, members of Hawaii’s congressional delegation have worked to pass legislation allowing for the reorganizing of a Native Hawaiian government that was overthrown in 1893. Their legislation sets up a process for that reorganization and would allow Native Hawaiians to be treated on par with more than 560 American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives.
