Nation of Hawaiʻi (organization)
The Nation of Hawaii is the oldest Hawaiian independence organization. It is headed by Dennis Pu‘uhonua "Bumpy" Kanahele, who is the groups spokesperson and Head of State.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cdn7.iitc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/IITC-FINAL-Rev-ICCPR-USA-2012-4.pdf )〕 Compared to other independence organizations which lean to the restoration of the monarchy, it advocates a republican government.
==History==
In 1989 the group occupied the area surrounding the Makapuu lighthouse on Oahu. In 1993 its members occupied Kaupo Beach, near Makapuʻu. Kanahele was a primary leader of the occupation, as well as the leader of the group overall. Dennis Pu‘uhonua Kanahele is a descendant of Kamehameha I, eleven generations removed, and is both the spokesperson for the organization and the "Head of State" of the Nation of Hawaii. The group ceased its occupation in exchange for the return of ceded lands in the adjacent community of Waimānalo, where they established a village, cultural center, and puuhonua (place of refuge).〔 The group nearly lost its land several times, due both to sentiment fostered by activists opposing the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, and questions regarding rent and liability insurance. As of 2006, however, it was still home to at least forty people.
Kanahele made headlines again in 1995 when his group gave sanctuary to Nathan Brown, a Native Hawaiian activist who had refused to pay federal taxes in protest against the US presence in Hawaii. Kanahele was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to eight months in federal prison, along with a probation period in which he was barred from the puuhonua and from participation in his sovereignty efforts.〔
