• @meanhawaii This was the first time I ever went to Pu’uhonua O Waimanalo On this day they held an Aloha Aina Day and they also held the PU’UHONUA MAKEKE This was the first time I met Uncle Bumpy Kanahele. We talked story like heart to heart kine. Not so much like an interview. We were comfortable around each other. It was a great time for me. The Apology Resolution, also known as Public Law 103-150, was a joint resolution passed by the U.S. Congress in 1993. It acknowledged the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and apologized to Native Hawaiians. What did the Apology Resolution do? * Acknowledged the role of the United States in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy * Acknowledged that Native Hawaiians never gave up their claims to their sovereignty over their lands * Acknowledged the devastating economic and social changes that occurred in Hawaii in the 19th and early 20th centuries * Intended to be a means of reconciliation with Native Hawaiians * Who signed the Apology Resolution? • President Bill Clinton signed the Apology Resolution in the Oval Office on November 23, 1993 What impact did the Apology Resolution have? • The Apology Resolution influenced the landmark decision in Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii. This decision prohibited the state of Hawaii from selling certain lands until the claims of Native Hawalians were resolved. @hawaiiannational @nationofhawaii @puuhonuamakeke
