Kamehameha unity rally in Hawai‘i
Published Aug 12, 2005 10:28 PM
Over 20,000 Native Hawaiians (Kanaka Maoli) and their supporters rallied Aug.
6 in support of the Kamehameha school, which was established by the sovereign
Hawaiian government to educate Native Hawaiian children.

Aug. 6 protest in Honolulu.
|
The sovereign
Hawaiian government was overthrown by white settlers, resulting in the
annexation of Hawai’i by the United States in 1898.
Right-wing
groups have challenged the Kamehameha school’s mission of educating Native
Hawaiian children, claiming it favors Native Hawaiians. A mainland U.S. court
decision backing the right-wing groups’ challenge to the school has united
the Native Hawaiian (Kanaka Maoli) community and their supporters in
protest.
