The Hawaiians want to proclaim their independency from the USA.

The Hawaiians proclaimed on 26 February that they had made history: they had drawn up a treaty for a hawaiian people. Last months more than 100 of Hawaii' representatives were accommodated in their versions of Philadelphia's Independence Hall, the Royal Golf Club, in the green Oahu Islands hill.

By 88 votes in favour and 30 against, representatives adopted a constitutional and sovereign resolution - the first step towards the creation of a new Hwaiian state. However, there is a wide gap between two camps: those who want to form a state-approved, semi-autonomous administration in the same way as other Indian groups, and a rising quota that instead wants Hawaii to become a totally unrelated US country; most other US tribes have their own state-approved countries - the Navajo nation in Arizona, for example, or the Osage people in Oklahoma.

The Hawaiians are the only large indigenous group without this kind of group. And if a local authority in Hawaii receives state approval, the daily experiences of the local people will not be much different. It wouldnt give a great indigenous hawaiian booking, repairs or canteens, said Williamson Chang, a university of hawaii rights professors. A small islet that is important in local tradition and was used by the US army for bomb attacks would be handed over to local authority, and the local Hawaiians would have more independence in using their land.

Throughout 1893, a group of American business people and troops plunged the realm of Hawaii and stole country and nature's riches. Several years later, the Congress annihilated the archipelago and for many years prohibited the instruction of the local Hawaiian languages and practices.

A number of campaigners think that restoring a commanding hawaiian state would help to correct some of these mistakes. Today, Hawaiians make up a disproportionately high proportion of the state' s population, whether they' re home or detained, and are far more likely to cause medical conditions such as cardiac diseases and diabetic diseases. However, other campaigners say that a state-approved administration like an Indian clan would not go far enough.

An indigenous Hawaiian voice group insists that only full US sovereignty would compensate for the country's Colonies heritage. Hawaii is dreaming of a return to the era before the US take-over, and some are even hoping for a re-establishment of the empire. "Many Hawaiians in Hawaii consider us disenfranchised," said Zuri Aki, a representative who fostered the country's autonomy and contributed to the drafting of the Hawaiian Constitution.

" In recent years, the independent struggle has gathered momentum, especially after a suggestion to construct a tele-scope on the Hawaiian's holiest hill triggered a fierce uprising. Last month's Constitutional Treaty seems to allow for the creation of federation and the option of full autonomy at a later date.

She demands a 43-member legislature with governmental procedures in Hispanic and English and strict protection of the environment. The question remains, however, whether the Constitutional Treaty will actually enter into force. It'?d have to be approved by all Hawaiians first: It is estimated that about 250,000 Hawaiians live in the state and about 250,000 others in the United States.

A Hawaiian lecturer in ethnical study, Davianna McGregor, and another constitutional voting representative, said groups are asking for contributions and hoping to conduct a referendum on the ratification of the paper by the end of 2016. A number of legislative issues could unduly affect any coordination.

Several groups say that the federal financing used to control the congregation was unconstitutional because the 15th amendment, which blocks openly financed options relying on sex or racing. When there is a constitutional Hawaii an election of a state would be necessary.

Then the US administration could see them, a trial that would give them similar power to that of the US chiefs. President Obama, the most celebrated of Hawaiians in the world, has reiterated his strong commitment to the covenant. Hillary Clinton published a declaration praising representatives for adopting a bill and supporting the indigenous nation of Hawaii.

Non-attached people still say that state approval is not enough - they want to get out of the US altogether. From a realistic perspective, it is difficult to see how the US would volunteer to give up a commodity like Pearl Harbor, or what would be done with non-native Hawaiians who live in the state. Had Hawaii ever been fully independent, it would probably be in the nearhood.

"That doesn't mean you have to discard your U.S. Citizen ID and Hawaii driver's licence and resign your state work. "But what it means is that you consider yourself a Hawaiian citizen.... and all the privileges and more... obligations that come with it.
