The inherent sovereignty of Native governments is derived from the people – sovereignty is not conferred upon Native governments by the Federal government. 2) Native sovereignty, like the sovereignty of our state and Federal governments, includes sovereign immunity – the right of the people’s government to be protected from legal action in carrying out its government functions. Governments may waive their sovereign immunity for specific purposes, but the Supreme Court has held that a waiver of sovereign immunity must be clear and unequivocally expressed. OHA heard some ask for information to better understand these concepts, and the attached OHA paper was prepared to meet this community request. http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=171 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=171#comments Wed, 12 May 2010 18:30:57 +0000 ohadc http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=171 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?feed=rss2&p=171 0 Monday, May 3, 2010 66% of Hawaii residents favor recognition for Native Hawaiians Poll shows slight uptick from 2006, when 63% approved’ http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=167 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=167#comments Fri, 07 May 2010 02:28:46 +0000 ohadc http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=167 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?feed=rss2&p=167 0 AKAKA BILL AMENDMENTS REFLECT CONGRESSIONAL PROMISE TO NATIVE HAWAIIANS http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=163 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=163#comments Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:54:49 +0000 ohadc http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=163 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?feed=rss2&p=163 0 Passing Akaka Bill will keep Hawaii Hawaii http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=159 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=159#comments Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:48:18 +0000 ohadc http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?p=159 http://www.nativehawaiians.com/?feed=rss2&p=159 0
