December 22, 2005 - The Hawaiian Kingdom Government is committed to educating the people of Hawaii regarding their rights and their history. Our efforts include presentations held at our office on Iolani Ave. and at various organized events, media appearances and a growing Internet presence.

A lot of our listeners are surprised to learn that the U.S. Congress already passed resolutions in 1894 against the annexation of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and for the right of self-determination of the people of Hawaii, that are in force to this day.

Many people are also surprised to learn that the current Secretary of State of the State of Hawaii recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom Government, and the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom via the apostille process.

Our photo shows a presentation at the Hawaiian Kingdom Office, held by His Excellency Panako, Royal Minister of Foreign Affairs (left) to Siane Mataele (center) while Her Highness Kelii, Tribunal Chief of Justice listens in (right). To reach out to the whole public, the Hawaiian Kingdom Government will begin featuring video excerpts from its presentations and interviews in January 2006.
