To summarize the Commission's
findings with regard to the overthrow
of the Hawaiian monarchy: Based upon
the information available to it, the
Commission concluded that Minister
John L. Stevens and certain other
individuals occupying positions with
the U.S. Government participated in
activities contributing to the
overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy on
January 17, 1893. The Commission was
unable to conclude that these
activities were sanctioned by the
President or the Congress. In fact,
official government records lend
strony support to the conclusion that
Minister Stevens' actions were not
sanctioned.
Besides the findings summarized
above, the Commission concludes
that, as an ethical or moral matter,
Congress should not provide for native
Hawaiians to receive compensation
cither for loss of land or of
sovereignty. Reviewing the situation
generally, including the historical
changes in Hawaii's land laws and
constitution before 1893, the Hawaiian
political climate that led to the
overthrow, the lack of authorized
involvement by the United States, and
the apparent limited role of United
States forces in the overthrow, the
Commission found that on an ethical or
moral basis, native Hawaiians should
not receive reparations. In reaching
this conclusion, the Commission did
not find the Hawaiian circumstances
analogous to the time when Congress
voted payments to Colombia, as a
result of the U.S. role in Panama.
Those payments were based, in part, on
the breach of commitments by the
United States Government under an 1846
treaty guaranteeing to Colombia the
"right of sovereignty and property"
over the Isthmus of Panama, and, in
part, on commitments owed to Colombia
pursuant to certain contracts.
Nevertheless, the Commission
strongly recommends that the issue of
reparations not impede the important
steps that should be taken now to
improve the condition of native
Hawaiians. Based on the information
it has collected, the Commission
believes that the social and economic
problems of native Hawaiians deserve
immediate action and that these needs
should be addressed promptly.
B. RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on its findings, the
Commission would recommend consideration
of early action in the following
areas:
• Additional educational and
training opportunities to
better equip native Hawaiians
for employment.
• Information services and
technical assistance to assist
both job applicants and small
business concerns.
[These measures should help
deal with problems involving
education, unemployment, crime,
and alcohol and drug abuse,
which appear to be related.]
• Additional nutrition education
programs and research to assist
in reducing incidence of
disease and accidents, and to
reduce mortality rates.
• Specific assistance to native
Hawaiians in finding housing.
• Continued efforts to offer
opportunities for native
Hawaiians to learn about and
develop a sense of pride in
their culture.
Steps can be taken by private
individuals and organizations and by
governments at all levels to address
these areas of concern. The
Commission feels that private groups
