Executive Summary
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights was established 50 years ago to fight discrimination by investigating claims of civil rights violations. Its local representatives, the State Advisory Committees, took on the role of the community “eyes and ears” to advise the Commission of important local concerns.
However, recent actions by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) and the newly comprised Hawai‘i State Advisory Committee (HISAC) have narrowed the discussion to one issue in Hawai‘i: the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act (NHGRA), also known as the “Akaka Bill” named for its primary sponsor, Senator Daniel Akaka.
This report analyzes the USCCR and HISAC’s recent proceedings and fact-finding efforts on the Akaka Bill, focusing on the USCCR Briefing Report on NHGRA in May of 2006 and the public hearings held by the HISAC in August and September of 2007. The publication of misinformation and historic inaccuracies resulting from these USCCR events were the impetus of this report, “Correcting the Record: The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and Justice for Native Hawaiians.”
The report finds:
“The Commission majority’s stance against the NHGRA and the new make-up of the USCCR and HISAC signal an accelerating conservative agenda hostile to indigenous peoples’ civil and human rights …the agenda is part of a larger effort by conservative politicians, think tanks, advocacy groups and judges to dismantle significant aspects of the civil rights edifice of the 1960s…”
The USCCR Briefing Report is cited repeatedly by Akaka Bill opponents in Congress. This report points out the Briefing Report was issued without soliciting advice from the HISAC, which published three previous reports supporting Native Hawaiian justice claims – after three decades of fact-finding. This report points out:
“The USCCR’s May 2006 Briefing Report demonstrates that the new Commission majority is not interested in justice for Native Hawaiians. Nor is it concerned about an accurate account of Hawaiian history of the many struggles of the Hawaiian people.”
The report also notes the HISAC chairman acknowledged that the Akaka Bill was targeted as the priority issue in Hawai‘i by Washington, a potential procedural violation in the selection of SAC projects. The hearings conducted by HISAC in August and September 2007 featured testimony of “experts” identified by the USCCR. The report finds:
“Against a backdrop of successful conservative attacks on civil and Native rights gains, these ‘experts’ mischaracterized and sanitized the history of U.S. colonialism and subsequent discrimination in Hawai‘i in order to mis-frame the NHGRA as nothing more than a ‘special privilege’ granted to Native Hawaiians.”
The report identifies possible conflicts of interest of current HISAC members: five new HISAC members have signed petitions against the Akaka Bill, including two who are involved in litigation that would be affected by the outcome of the Akaka Bill.
This report suggests an approach that frames the discussion of Native Hawaiian rights as “Restorative Justice.” Existing programs to remedy the harms to native peoples have been attacked by conservatives as “preferences” or “privileges.” The report points out:
“…most of these programs do not aim to elevate one group over another and do not seek to justify that privileged position by characterizing the other group as inferior.”
The report describes the NHGRA as a significant step toward the goal of restorative justice – to restore that which was destroyed or damaged. In the words of OHA Board of Trustees Chair Haunani Apoliona:
“It will be healing for our community and our nation to unburden itself of their past destructive inequities towards the Hawaiian people by granting Hawaiians a small measure of redress and reconciliation under the Akaka Bill, a good first step from which a longer journey of reconciliation must start.”
