Start Deconstruct USA see "The Overdeveloped Nations" (Khor)
Hawaiian Patriot | 08.05.2006 09:01 | World
This last Thursday, three Native Hawaiian groups filed a Shadow Report detailing on-going human rights violations against native Hawaiians since the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
These groups also endorsed and supported, with the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council, a second report filed by the Indigenous Peoples and Nations Coalition, which raises human rights violation by the U.S. as the administering agent of the Non-Self Governing Territories of both Alaska and Hawai`i.
In what should be no surprise to anyone, the reports demonstrate the historic and continuing violation of our people’s right to self-governance and self-determination that predates the overthrow and continues to today.
Our shows this week focus not only on just how damaging those violations have been, but also on individuals who have dedicated their lives to actually getting out from under that oppression.
Ku Ching on Hawai`i island, David Ingham in San Francisco and the Gwich’in in Alaska all have one important message for each and every one of us.
A message so important, you’ll want to gather `ohana and friends around this week for Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

The Truth About Federal Recognition – A Visit With David Ingham – Part One.”
Filmed in San Francisco with David Ingham, one of the world's foremost authorities on federal recognition and what it has done to native peoples, this segment is a real eye-opener on just how damaging the Akaka bill would be for Hawai`i should it ever become law.
David shares with us how he came to be so interested in this issue as it pertains to Hawai`i and exactly why it’s bad news despite what OHA has been saying.
Given that an attempt will be made once again to pass the "Akaka Bill" this year in the US Congress, this is a show that no one should miss.
The interview, in two parts, is packed with powerful and revealing information.
This is one to tell your 'ohana and all your friends to watch - find out what OHA doesn’t want you to know about this bill.

"A Violation Of Trust - Part One - A Voices Of Truth Special Report."
At their conference in Honolulu last August, the Council For Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA) invited several representatives of federally recognized Native American tribes and Alaska Native Corporations to promote the economic benefits of federal recognition and oil drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge.
When the Gwich'in, the native people who actually live on that land asked to participate in the discussions, the CNHA refused their request.
Not to be silenced, the Gwich'in did come to Honolulu and, with help from their many Hawai`i supporters, presented panel discussions and an Artic Film Festival at the State Capitol.
They also rented a conference room close to the CNHA convention to share the truth with all who would listen. What they revealed was stunning.
A proud and self-sufficient people, the Gwich'in refuse to allow the violation of their natural environment. They recount their life of poverty and deprivation under federal recognition and their constant battles with the US federal government and alien economic opportunists.
It has become clearly apparent that certain individuals within the CNHA have been secretly working with senators from both Alaska and Hawai`i to promote drilling in the ANWR, against the wishes of the Gwich'in, and also to force federal recognition here in Hawai`i - for personal gain.
In this emotionally charged segment, hear the truth for yourself - what the CNHA has tried to hide as Alaskan Natives describe how oil is destroying their physical and spiritual health and their traditional lives. Hear the disastrous effects of federal recognition on these special people.
