ttp://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/01/hawaii.palace.takeover/?iref=mpstoryview Native Hawaiians blockade historic palaceStory Highlights Group does not recognize Hawaii as a U.S. state Palace used by rulers of Hawaiian kingdom; now a tourist attraction Peaceful protesters eventually unlock gates, leave grounds Protesters vow to return Thursday morning Next Article in U.S. » (CNN) -- A group of native Hawaiians occupied the grounds of the old Hawaiian monarchy's royal residence Wednesday, vowing to stay and do the business of the kingdom's government. A member of the protest group Hawaiian Kingdom Government unlocks the palace gate. 1 of 3 "It is through a greater realm than ours" that the group took this action, said Mahealani Kahau, elected leader of the group, called Hawaiian Kingdom Government. "Today and every day, we will be here to assume our role." Group members left the palace grounds Wednesday afternoon, but vowed to return Thursday morning, The Honolulu Advertiser reported. "We'll be here at 6 o'clock in the morning," Kahau told the newspaper. The group is one of several in Hawaii that reject statehood and seek to return to the constitutional monarchy that effectively ended in 1893 when a group of politicians, businessmen and sugar planters -- aided by the U.S. minister to Hawaii -- overthrew the kingdom's government. The monarchist groups say that the kingdom was overthrown and annexed into the United States illegally. Hawaii's office of the attorney general did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment on Wednesday's action. The staff of Iolani Palace, built in 1882 and now operated as a museum, shut down the building to visitors. The 60 or so protesters occupied the grounds, chaining the gates and stationing guards there to explain to visitors the purpose of the action. The group later reopened the gates, but remained on the grounds and the building was kept closed. "It saddens my heart to have to turn away visitors," said palace staff member Cindy Ascencio, who added that although she, too, is a native Hawaiian, she does not understand the actions of the group. Ascencio also said that the group appeared peaceful and she was not concerned about security. Jose Carrion, a visitor to Hawaii from Puerto Rico, told Honolulu's KHON-TV that he was "disappointed" he wouldn't be able to visit the ornate palace and "learn about the culture of the Hawaiians." "We wanted to come here precisely because we thought we'd learn something about the history of Hawaii and the last queen and the monarchy," said Carrion, who said he had reservations for the visit. "But we're leaving tomorrow so we won't get to see the palace." But Carrion also said he "kind of understood" the actions of the group. Puerto Rico and Hawaii, along with Guam and the Philippines, were annexed into the United States in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. Guam and Puerto Rico remain territories of the United States. The Philippines gained independence after World War II, and Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959. Although the monarchy was not overthrown until 1893, its fate effectively was sealed six years earlier when the same group that forced the overthrow imposed a new constitution on King David Kalakaua, who was forced to sign it under threat of arms. The document dramatically reduced the authority of the monarchy and instituted voter requirements that limited voting to wealthy businessmen and Hawaiian landowners, barring 75 percent of the native Hawaiian population and all Asians. When Queen Lili'uokalani ascended the throne after the death of her brother in 1891, she began work on a new constitution that would have effectively reversed the 1887 document. With the help of John L. Stevens, the U.S. minister to Hawaii, the elite group that had changed the constitution in 1887 opposed the queen's actions. Two years later, under threat of U.S. troops, she yielded her authority, saying, "Until such time as the Government of the United States shall ... undo the action of its representative and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands." The queen was later imprisoned in Iolani Palace for eight months for her participation in an attempted 1895 revolt, until she relinquished her claim to the throne in return for her release. She died in 1917 at 79. In 1993, the U.S. Congress approved, and President Clinton signed, an apology to the people of the Hawaiian Islands. The document "acknowledges that the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States and further acknowledges that the Native Hawaiian people never directly relinquished to the United States their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people over their national lands, either through the Kingdom of Hawaii or through a plebiscite or referendum." Although it was used as a seat of government for decades after the deposition of Lili'uokalani, the palace fell into disrepair. When the last of the government office moved out and into new facilities adjacent to the palace in 1969, restoration work began. It opened to the public in 1978

一个夏威夷土著组织4月30日占领了檀香山市中心的夏威夷古王宫地界，并宣布将此作为夏威夷王国政府所在地。据美国媒体5月1日报道，来自“夏威夷王国政府”组织的大约60人封锁了夏威夷古王宫的所有大门，但没有进入古王宫内。

“夏威夷王国”“国家元首”的马埃拉尼•卡奥说，他们不承认夏威夷是美国的一个州。她说：“夏威夷王国政府来到这里就不准备离开。从今天开始，我们每天都将在这里履行职责。”她强调，占领将和平地进行。

夏威夷古王宫建立于1882年，由卡拉卡瓦国王下令建造，他的妹妹、夏威夷最后一任国王也曾经居住在这里，现在辟为博物馆。博物馆方面说，“夏威夷王国政府”组织向他们递交书面通知，将这里作为“夏威夷王国政府”所在地。

1893 年，一群政客和商人在美国人的帮助下发动政变。在美国军队的威胁下，夏威夷王国的女王被迫退位。1898年美国西班牙战争后，美国吞并了波多黎各、夏威 夷、关岛和菲律宾。二战后，菲律宾独立，而关岛和波多黎各继续是美国的领土，而夏威夷在1959年成为美国的第50个州。 “夏威夷王国政府”组织称夏威夷王国是被非法推翻和吞并到美国的。该组织的一名支持者说：“(夏威夷)这些岛屿的主权属于夏威夷人民，我们从未放弃这一权 利。”

1993年，经美国国会批准，时任美国总统的克林顿签署法案，为100年前推翻夏威夷王国而道歉，承认夏威夷土著从未直接放弃对夏威夷的主权要求。

据美联社4月30日报道，科罗拉多州议会通过一项决议，将数以百万计的美国印第安人的死亡，与纳粹大屠杀和世界其他地区的种族屠杀相提并论。

该州参议院和众议院分别以22比12、59比4的投票表决结果通过这项决议。

当天通过的这项决议称，欧洲人有意导致大量印第安人死亡，早年来到美洲的欧洲殖民者常常“残暴和不人道地”对待当地的印第安人。

决议特别提到1838年切罗基族遭屠杀和1864年发生在科罗拉多的“沙溪大屠杀”。它还提到因为强制移民、剥夺食物和欧洲人的奴役导致疾病泛滥，使得大量印第安人死亡。

这项决议的提案人、民主党参议员苏珊娜·威廉斯说，该决议对多达1.2亿土著居民遭到欧洲殖民者迫害的事实予以认可。

一些议员认为，决议对欧洲人打击面太广。但民主党参议员葆拉·桑多瓦尔说，这项决议的本意并不是要指责所有欧洲人。  
美 洲印第安人博物馆。博物馆不会忽视关于印第安大屠杀的内容。1490年，西半球共有大约7500万印第安人；150年后，幸存的印第安人仅为600万人。 时至1900年，美国只剩下25万印第安人；不过，哥伦布发现新大陆后的500年只是印第安人历史的一个片断。馆长道格拉斯·韦斯特说，博物馆不能单纯讲 述死亡和灾难的历史。

　 　北京5月2日消息　在达赖集团策动西藏骚乱，西方某些政客和媒体借此掀起新一轮反华浪潮之际，意大利著名历史哲学家、国际黑格尔哲学学会主席、乌尔比诺 大学教授多梅尼克·罗苏多（Domenico Losurdo），在其网页上强烈谴责西方支持达赖集团分裂中国的图谋，并以法、德、西、葡、意五
种文字，向国际知识界和广大公众发出对“西方反华十字军”奋起反击的紧急呼吁。

　　据光明网报道，在《呼吁书》发表后短短10天里，已有法国、瑞典、瑞士、西班牙、葡萄牙、巴西、阿尔及利亚及意大利等十多个国家的著名学者、教授、记 者、报刊杂志领导人、民间组织领导人、人权问题专家、法律工作者、政界人士等500多人附议签名。还有众多网友留言对西方主流媒体颠倒黑白、肆意反华表示 愤慨，对《呼吁书》表示支持。

　　罗苏多在其呼吁书的开篇明确指出：一个妖魔化中华人民共和国的卑鄙运动正在西方开展。领导和策划这一运动的是那些从未支持世界上真正被压迫的人民、且 随时准备对非西方主权国家发动所谓预防性战争的政府和新闻媒体。他们挥舞着有时乔装为“自治”的藏独旗帜，支持西藏独立。这个目标如果实现，随后就将轮到 新疆、内蒙古、满洲里及中国其它地区。事实上，在西方帝国主义主导全球的狂妄计划中，就是要肢解很多个世纪以来形成的、现在由56个民族组成的多元文化的 中国。绝非偶然的是，这次十字军运动的发动者不是同情和赞赏中国的第三世界，而是自鸦片战争起把这个东方大国逼入落后和惨重灾难之中的西方国家。

　　《呼吁书》说，3月14日发生在拉萨的暴力事件，杀害了一些无辜的生命，其中包括老人、妇女和儿童，但西方政府和媒体却对此只字不提。一向标榜为反对 极端主义旗手的西方，却肆意美化基于残酷的封建农奴制度和神权政治的旧西藏，匍匐在集神和王于一身的达赖面前，致力于帮助达赖喇嘛构建一个以种族和文化清 洗为基础的“国家”，并企图把那些虽然有藏人居住但从未受过历代达赖管制的大片区域划归他们计划中的“大西藏”，妄图以此削弱和进而肢解中国。

　　《呼吁书》说，19世纪末，西方殖民主义国家在中国租借区的入口处曾树立过“华人与狗不得进入”的醒目标牌。这个标牌现在并未消失，它只是有了些许变 化，在破坏北京奥运会的浊流中，人们再次看到了它的影子：“禁止狗与华人办奥运！”反华十字军的征讨正在进行，并将以其久远与无耻的传统全力继续下去。对 此，我们必须予以揭露。:cool:
