The Story of America's Annexation of Hawaiʻi | PBS HAWAIʻI PRESENTS: Nation Within 

Hawaiian Kingdom still exist in 2024… Restoration is coming!!!

It’s difficult for me to watch this without getting upset. I grew up in Hawaii and understand why they never taught us this in history classes. They refer to it as “annexation”, but what happened to Hawaii is pure thievery. 😢

No annexation no jurisdiction period

Show me the treaty 💯

I would also like to see the treaty. The Hawaiians were not consulted and the US went on to take the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico. Many of the troubles currently can be traced back to allowing the US to get away with overthrowing the popular monarch, hiding the Ku'e petitions and imprisoning the queen for 9 months in her bedroom in the palace. Everyone who spends any time in Honoulu should take an afternoon and go to the Iolani Palace. The docents are prepared to tell you this story and help you understand why it is important for you to know. Oakland CA

The title of this "Nation within annexation of Hawai'i" comes from Tom Coffman's book which now has an updated title page... that now states, Nation Within The history of the American Occupation of Hawai'i". RU-vid why he changed the name and you will find that he said I am prompted to change the name with a growing work of Hawaiian scholars that point out annexation of the Hawaiian islands could not have been ceded to the United States by a joint resolution. That Hawai'i is indeed a sovereign country, just one that is occupied.

1. Read: 'Nation Within: The History of the American Occupation of Hawai'i' (Book by Tom Coffman) 2. The Hawaiian Kingdom continues to exist as an independent and sovereign country up to the present day (which is currently being illegally occupied by the U.S.).

This book i read when it first was published, it is the best literature i came across that goes in great depth and detail within the history of how the kingdom of Hawai'i was "corruptly" overthrown by touching base on the Oligarchy. This book is court documented.

Give hawaii back to the hawaiians

According to Google the mongoose was introduced to Hawaii in 1893 but I believe it was earlier they were called: missionaries and the alaka’i was Thurston and Dole the traitor.

It was an illegal annexation, period. There were no requirements met.

Mahalo for posting!

Hawaii is occupied never annexed. The anti annexation petitions defeat the treaty.

UPDATE the Title: Tom Coffman himself changed it to the Occupation of Hawaiʻi.

2024 Hawaii Welfare State by their standards

As Haunani Kay Trask said: Mahaoe Haole!!!

In Nomine Justitia To the august halls of Congress, where democracy's voice resounds, To the venerable chambers of the Supreme Court, where justice's gavel pounds, And to the highest office, held by President Joe Biden's hand, This mystic document, a plea for justice, across the land. In the sacred echoes of history's pages, we find our tale, A saga woven in the fabric of Hawaii, where shadows prevail. From the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, a cultural program took flight, In the embrace of justice, guided by the National Park Service's light. Bishop Museum's native culture and arts, a testament true, Funded by foundations noble, like the Gerbode and Pacific Isles crew. The symphony of justice played, through the Hawaii Committee's grace, And Pacific Islanders in Communications, a bridge to justice's embrace. Yet, in Honolulu's streets, where rifles stood tall, A tale unfolded, a kingdom's fall. The rifles, outwardly loyal, veiled in a conspirator's oath, Justice dimmed, as the Bayonet Constitution took its oath. In the year 1993, a centennial lament, For the overthrow of monarchy, a moment to repent. A retelling of stories, of a queen and conspirators unseen, But unearthing the truth, justice's path in between. From New England's shores they came, with dreams of destiny, A shadowy conspiracy, in the birth of a sugar industry. Luther Severance spoke of annexation, a last resort's plea, But Hawaii's sovereign dream, a vision not to be. Reciprocity, a dance of geopolitical stakes, Pearl River Lagoon, where ambition awakes. Major Schofield's reconnaissance, in a harbor's embrace, A strategic move, justice's veiled face. The Bayonet Constitution, a dark decree, Forcing submission on Kalakaua, a king's decree. A figurehead crowned, power in the shadows, Wealthy elites, white and sugar's meadows. Jon Kamakawiwoole Osorio speaks of consequence, Democracy diminished, a nation's recompense. Reciprocity's renewal, a storm unfurls, American pressure, on the islands swirls. Harrison, Blaine, and Stevens, their plans unfold, Tensions rise, in a sugar market's hold. Pearl Harbor and protectorate, a cruel trance, Native voices protest, justice's dance. Blaine's stall, a treacherous wrong, Reciprocity dies, depression's song. Kalakaua's journey, a quest for grace, Reciprocity's hope, lost in the San Fran embrace. Liliuokalani, on a throne rearrange, A traditional constitution, in the winds of change. Anticipation looms, a power in descent, A diverse myth of overthrow, malcontent. Missionary descendants, in conspirator's seat, W.O. Smith, Thurston, Dole, in shadows fleet. The overthrow unfolds, in justice's lament, In the halls of Congress, Supreme Court, and President. We, the seekers of justice, in mystic decree, Plead to Congress, Supreme Court, and Biden's decree. In Latin's whispers, a timeless plea, Let justice reign, in Hawaii's legacy.

FREE HAWAII!!

The fist school was Lahainaluna!

After watching this debauchery of democracy, oh ye Americans, will you not desire a careful consideration and further inspection into the censure of Hawaiian sovereignty by a joint resolution by Francis Newlands, an Klan leader, and John Tyler Morgan of Mississippi also a Klan leader, and not connect the dots between the end of the civil war the end of slavery, but not the end of the business model of plantations. The fact that this “Republic” of Hawai’i was about as democratic as Banana Republic a corporate institution of self election… Can’t you all see, just as the Hawaiian government was overthrown by oligarchs, look at Americas government today. The Big 5, 3 of the 5 owners of HECO all participated in the overthrow. Why should any American care about Hawaiis history and injustice? Well how do I put this an injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere, and the American addiction to expansionism forces American taxes to fund endless overthrows while it’s people are amongst the sickest amongst developed nations… no annexation of Hawai’i is a myth. Hawaii remains an American occupation. When you visit YOU and YOUR family are visiting an occupied country. Remember you can ovethrow a nation’s government but not the nation itself! Just as America invaded Iraq and Iraq remained a foreign sovereign country, how is it different for the Hawaiian Kingdom where is Hawaiis treaty of annexation?

Spina Americana Sum columna terrae Unitae, Militis sum, Non-commissariatus sum officiarius. Servio ut nexus vitalis Inter praefectum meum Et omnes milites et signiferos. Nunquam obliviscar qui sim aut quid Representem, Tentabo me ad extremum Et semper ageturus sum in officio. Nunc magis quam umquam devotus sum Ad excellentiam in omnibus meis actibus, Ut possum rectum exemplum dare Ceteris militibus. Exigam a me ipso omnem energiam, Scientiam et peritiam quam habeo, Ut fiduciam induam iis quos doceo. Semper contendam ut perferam Meas ipsius virtutes Et sim bonus dux. Super omnia ero verax In omnibus quae dico aut facio, Integritas mea erit inculpabilis, Sicut et facies mea. Ero verax mihi ipsi, His qui sub potestate mea sunt, Et superioribus meis. Promitto meum optimum facere Ut omnes virtutes ductus Incorporem in characterem meum, Nam talis est hereditas quam accepi Ab illo longo et illustri Linea professionalium Qui, antequam mecum suaviter sanguinem, *Tantopere portaverunt. * Optimum mihi dare oportet Pro milites meis, Pro meo nucleo et pro patria mea, Nam etsi hodie doceo et supervideo in pace, Crastino, forsitan ducam in bello. Duriter vivemus, dure exercitabimus, Et duriter pugnabimus, Praestantes patriae nostrae Possibilitatem continendi, lacunam obturandi, Aut lineam tenendi. Nescimus quando aut ubi Pugnabimus proxime, Sed parati sumus relinquere hodie nocte.

There is no treaty of annexation and the U.S. Congress is bound within its borders. OHA is the mail in the coffin for kanaka maoli.

Take America to the international court this is wrong...😢😢😢😢😢m so so sorry to my Hawaiian Christian pasifika brothers and sisters 😢😢😢be strong... God will answer u prayers one day keep on praying....u deserve ur independence Hawaiian ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ what a shameful American 🇺🇸🇺🇸 history...may her majesty the queen rest in peace the peace of our lord Jesus Christ alone forever Amen Amen 🌿🕊️🌿♥️♥️♥️

In the mystic realm where the Pacific whispers, A dynasty unfolds, tales of rulers and kins. From scattered islands, a unity foreseen, Hawaiian lands, where justice reigns supreme. High chiefs ascended, each island's sovereign, Kiyah Aulani Wahine, in the 1600s, a beacon. Hereditary titles, passed in lineage true, Males and females, heirs of oceanic hue. Upon the Big Island, history's canvas weaves, Kamehameha's legacy, the tapestry conceives. Kalani Oh poo, feathered helm held high, Witness to Cook's landing, beneath the Hawaiian sky. A dance of diplomacy, turned awry, Sacred wood stolen, a boat adrift, a cry. Cook, the explorer, met his fate, In Hawaiian sands, his destiny laid straight. Kalani Oh poo, his lineage retold, Through struggles and triumphs, stories unfold. Kamehameha, a name revered, Foreign ships, destiny steered. Advisors from afar, knowledge bestowed, Conquest of islands, a destiny forebode. 1795, the Kingdom stood tall, Kamehameha, its first sovereign thrall. Generations passed, as monarchs rose, A dance of power, where destiny chose. Kamehameha the Second, brief was his reign, To Great Britain's shores, a journey in vain. Measles claimed, a tragic refrain, Kamehameha the Third, the throne to sustain. Constitution written, a nation transformed, Cucina nui's legacy, through time adorned. Kaahumanu, Kaahumanu ii, and more, A female line, Hawaii's lore. Kamehameha the Fifth, a kingdom in transition, Male-line dwindling, an unforeseen condition. Election held, Luna lilo's reign, A brief interlude, destiny's refrain. Kalakaua, a new chapter begun, Sugar trade's boon, ties to the sun. Rebellion's whispers, a kingdom in strife, Lili ooh Kalani, last reigning life. Promises broken, a queen deposed, Hawaii annexed, in history enclosed. Noble houses echo, in the island's breeze, Quentin Kawana Nakoa, a modern decree. Descendant of legacy, a political art, In the modern age, a monarch's restart. The tale unfolds, in justice's name, Hawaii's dynasty, a mystic flame.

not to justify or forgive the U.S. actions...BUT, Hawaii would have been annexed by Japan if the U.S. had not acted first...a 'free Hawaii' was a very, very, very, very, unlikely reality.

I hate that this beautiful Kingdom was robbed from the Hawaiian people and Royal family. Sadly, if the US wouldn't have done what they did, it was only a matter of time until Britain, France, Germany, or Japan did.

Show me the treaty 💯
