Until recently, American society did not acknowledge that Native Hawaiians have rights that are unique and distinct from those of other citizens. With the exception of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, little recognition existed that Native Hawaiians are a separate native people. The spiritual and political disintegration of Hawaiians after the illegal destruction of the Hawaiian nation, the pervasive belief that Hawaiians were a 'dying race,' and the prolonged territorial period which culminated in the statehood declaration that 'we're all haoles now'--would not and could not acknowledge Native Hawaiian rights. Thus, little more than a decade ago this Handbook would have been unimaginable. Even today, Native Hawaiians must constantly assert and defend their rights in a foreign, and often hostile, legal system if they are to remain a separate and distinct native people...."
